RESETING YOUR              MINDSET ....

Exercise should be treated not as something you fit in, but as something you do for your own good -- like brushing your teeth. Ready to reset your exercise mindset?

 

CHANGE YOUR EXERCISE PERSPECTIVE

It's no secret that exercise is an intrinsic part of a healthy lifestyle. But when women approach it as a burden that they need to fit into their day, it becomes a chore and seldom gets accomplished. However, exercise should never be a chore. In fact, it should - and can - be an ingrained habit. 

 

 

 

3 STEPS TO RESET YOUR EXERCISE                         MINDSET

 

STEP 1: START SLOWLY

Getting into a healthy lifestyle involves making changes to both eating habits and exercise habits. No matter what stage of life you are in: married or unmarried, mother or not, this can be done. But don't try to be the picture of perfect health habits all at once. Making long term changes takes time.

 

 

STEP 2: ACHIEVE BALANCE

Transforming your lifestyle into a healthy one isn't just about the exercise: it's about making full life changes. For instance, if all you do is start exercising more, you aren't going to see the results that you want to -- and that can be demotivating. If you only eat healthier, the results won't be there either. "The whole key to making changes is balance," says Greene. It's important that when you are resetting your exercise mindset, that you also change your eating habits so that you remain in balance.

 

STEP 3: ADJUST WITH AGE

Everything changes as you age: you need less sleep, your metabolism slows down and your body chemistry shifts. 

Perception is reality, and the best way to adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a healthy diet is to change your perspective and see it as something you do for yourself . Get advice on dropping bad habits and starting good new habits here.
