Tips to keep you excited about your exercise

The following are some tips I have come across for the beginners to advanced exercisers.  You are more likely to continue on and not let things stop you, if you change things up a little and it isn't boring.  Hope the following list  helps you.  Enjoy!

1. Choose an activity that's fun.
2. Try different activities so you don't get tired of the same old thing.
3. Go to different places for your jogging, walking, or biking paths to vary your routine.
4. If time is a problem,  do several shorter sessions of activity throughout the day, such as three 10-minute walks, just around the block. 
5. Look for or create opportunities for activity, such as parking your car at the other end of the parking lot and walking.  Make sure it is a same parking lot. 
6. Don't let cold weather stop you! You can creat other fun activities to do, such as exercising to a workout video.
7. Exercise with a friend or family member.  This will help keep you motivated and wanting not to let the other down. 
8. If you have children, make time to play with them outside. Set a good example!
9. Turn activities into social occasions-for example, go to a movie after you and a friend work out.
10. Create a group to go on hikes, build walking trails, start exercise classes, and organize special events to promote physical activity.
11. Set specific, short-term goals, and reward yourself (with something other than food!) when you achieve them.
12. Don't expect to notice body changes right away. It took you all these years to get where you are, it is take some time, but when you see them, WOW!  And others will notice before you sometimes.
13. Make your activity a regular part of your day so it becomes a habit.  Schedule it in and do not let anything else get in the way.  It is a regular, important meeting with yourself.  Don't forget you and your health are important too.
