Thoughtful Thursday, March 10, 2016: 5 tips to fit in exercise

Happy Thoughtful Thursday!
Thank you for coming by to visit me on day 16 of my 90-day Core 3 Pledge.
Thank you for all your comments, questions and encouragement on my health and happiness mission.
Today I had a request to talk to about fitting in exercise.
What a great question!
Here we go.
Here are 5 quick tips for fitting in physical activity.
First of all you need to know and acknowledge what fitness level you are at. For example, I would love to do chin-ups, pull-ups and headstands, but I know that I have pre-requisits before I get there.
So, map out where you are. If you have not exercised much at all, perhaps you could just get up and walk for ten minutes during your break. Start with what you can and build from there. Always challenge yourself, but set yourself up for success.
Celebrate your efforts. Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.

1. Choose an activity you enjoy. I love walking so I do that often... To and from the train station, at lunch, on the weekends with my kids, etc.

2. Start with something and build on it. Walk for ten minutes a day, then increase it.  

3. Make it fun! Challenge friends and family. Dance to music!

4. Do it in the morning before anything else to make sure it is done. This will set the ton for an energetic day.

5. Set it as your routine. 

Now tell me what your tips are for fitting in exercise.

Have a extraordinary day!

Kim
