Ways to Make Exercise Work for You


  Ways to Make Exercise Work for You


We all know that exercise is good for us—it strengthens our muscles and bones, helps us lose weight and keeps our joints healthy—but not everyone has time to hit the gym on a regular basis. The good news? You don’t need to join an expensive health club or run grueling marathons in order to get the benefits of exercise. These seven simple tips will help you make exercise work for you—at home, in your spare time, or anywhere else you may be too busy to stop and get moving.


1) Consistency is key

No matter what type of exercise you choose, the key is consistency. Do something every day. This can be a walk around the block, some light stretching, or even a 20-minute workout video. It doesn't have to be long and intense; it just has to happen on a regular basis.


2) Get the right tools and equipment

In order to make exercise work for you, it's important that you have the right tools and equipment. This includes a variety of weights, different types of cardio equipment, and a mat or exercise ball. It's also important that your space is set up in a way that makes sense to you so that it will be easy and enjoyable.


3) Have a proper warm up routine

It's important to warm up before exercising. It makes your muscles more pliable and reduces the risk of injury. A good warm up routine might include: stretching, a few minutes on an exercise bike, or 10-15 minutes on a treadmill at a low incline and 2.5-3 mph.


4) Work out with friends

If you're not looking forward to exercising, try working out with friends. The camaraderie of a workout partner can help motivate you and keep you on track. Plus, it's more fun!
