Finding motivation to exercise
Many people start exercising with enthusiasm in January and stop in February. More important than motivation is building a habit that works on bad days too. This guide shows you ways to make exercise part of everyday life.
You will need
- A calendar
- A notes app or training diary
- Exercise clothes ready to go
- A workout buddy or group

Start ridiculously small
Set fixed times
Remove obstacles in advance
Join a group or bring a friend
Track what you actually do
Choose a sport you enjoy
Prepare for slumps
Reward the process
