Find the Joy in Movement: Building an Exercise Habit You Love
Let’s start seeing movement and strength-building as our friends, cheering us on every step of the way. Here’s how to make it fun and keep that momentum going!
Starting an exercise habit that’s fun and enjoyable is key to staying consistent and feeling empowered. Here’s how to make it happen:
Discover Your Style—Not everyone loves the gym, and that’s okay! Maybe you love dancing, hiking, swimming, lifting weights, yoga, or pickleball. How about something simple like 10 squats, 10 push-ups, or 20 jumping jacks a few times a day? We are not working on perfection; we are just trying to start a movement habit that feels right and doable.
Make this fun- Explore and experiment with different types of movement until you find what makes you look forward to being active. Have you ever tried rebounding? It’s a mini-trampoline that fits in most rooms and makes for a super fun workout, especially with some upbeat music! It’s also a great way to take breaks from sitting—I keep one in my office for quick, energizing jumps (with a side bonus of improved lymphatic circulation)! Five minutes at a time will reenergize the most fatigued brain and body.
Set Small Wins – Start with manageable goals. Even 10 minutes a day can make a difference and build momentum. Every small success builds confidence and motivation for the next! Remember, action creates momentum.
Focus on How It Makes You Feel – Forget about quick results. Instead, tune into the mental clarity, energy boost, and mood lift that movement brings.
Remember, it’s about feeling stronger and happier—not just hitting a target. It is also about feeling empowered to find movement that you look forward to doing, not just trudging through.
These tips will help you make exercise a lasting part of your lifestyle, turning it into a lifelong habit rather than just a fleeting moment.
