Don't Push Too Much

Don't force yourself to run every day if you hate running, and don't spend hours cursing the elliptical machine or stationary bike at the gym if those machines just don’t appeal to you. Finding an exercise that you enjoy is a part of a strategy or plan to change lifestyle behavior and stay active throughout your life. The type of exercise you choose truly affects your motivation to get moving. Maybe it's a yoga class some days and tennis or hiking with a buddy on others. Doing a variety of exercises will help keep your workouts fresh and keep you interested.
