How to Stay Committed to Exercise
If you are fit and healthy, you have a better chance of coping with the challenges of the modern world in a more efficient manner as compared to those who do not give enough importance to maintaining their health and appearance.
If you work out regularly, you will surely see an improvement in several areas, be it your professional stuff or your personal life. However, most of us are still very careless about our fitness and adopt a lackluster approach when it comes to exercising regularly.
There is more and more general awareness about health in the world; however, there is still an ever-increasing number of heart patients and diabetes, which is a direct result of lack of physical activity.
Most of us do try to work out but we lack consistency. There are a number of reasons behind the inconsistency in our approach, such as lack of motivation, busy schedule and laziness. However, if we want to attain and maintain a good level of fitness, we must stay committed to exercise.

Make a goal & set a routine
In order to remain committed to exercise, you need to set small goals for yourself. For example, if you are over-weight, you need to plan that you have to lose at least 5 Kg in the next 3 months.
Once you start working out, keep in mind that the first couple of weeks are going to be the harder part and you may have to force yourself to go to gym. However, once you go past this period smoothly, you will start to enjoy exercise.
You need to plan and decide what time of the day you want to work out and then make sure that you follow the routine every single day. You may take a day off every week to refresh yourself.
