Use the buddy system. Everything is more fun with a friend. Have a friend join you on your journey. Plan meals together and enjoy combining your workout efforts. If you’re having trouble finding a friend to work out with you, a canine companion for your walks and runs will work too!
-
Add some competition. Some people are more competitive than others. If you are the type that loves competition, use it as a motivator. Always been shooting for your best times or the most amount of reps will help increase your enjoyment.
-
Explore new areas. If you are an explorer at heart, gear your walks, runs, or bike rides to places you’ve never been before. Time will fly as you are discovering new things.
-
Join a class. Exercise can be more fun when done in a group setting. To up the fun factor more, join a class that involves dancing or other forms of music.
-
Listen to an audiobook. Do you love getting lost in a new book? Why not do it while you exercise? Pick a book that you are especially excited to listen to and save it exclusively for when you exercise.
-
Reward yourself. Whether it's a healthy dessert or a material gift to yourself, have a reward in mind when accomplishing your goals.
