How to get rid of laziness and get active

You've heard all the excuses (and some of you said it). "I'm too busy." "I can not afford the gym." "I'm bored of the treadmill." But really, all this translates into a variation of "Today." "Everyone has a reason why not," says Rachel Cosgrove, author of "The Female Body Breakthrough," owner of Results Fitness and Health magazine columnist for Women. "Therefore, it is found that motivation. What you need to take you to train." Therefore, to obtain the best results for you to tame the vague, creates a simple and realistic guide to be active today.

Take a pair of jeans

"Get the jeans that you can not button," says Cosgrove. "Those in your closet and that every woman has." They are a great indicator of where you are, because your weight is not necessarily the best measure of your progress. If you do strength training, for example, your weight may go up, because you're building muscle. Wear jeans that were previously too tight is a way in which you can see the difference. "The results do not always represent the weight," says Cosgrove.

Set a goal of behavior change

Instead of focusing on where you want to be, focus on how you get there. Cosgrove recommends "performance goal" rather than "objective results". With the result intended, you focus on what you're trying to achieve, as the loss of a certain amount of weight. A target behavior is something that can turn into action right now. You can not lose 10 pounds (5 kilos) tomorrow, but you can get up and go for a walk.

Start slowly

This is not the time to bite more than you can chew. Sobrecargarte Instead, find something that is practical, feasible and, most importantly, something you know you're going to continue to the end. Cosgrove suggests starting with little, and commit to exercising two days a week for 30 minutes. "Keep that sense of accomplishment, you feel a little better and maybe you set up a goal a little harder next week," he advises.

Make a date

Schedule time for yourself. Begin by writing in pencil "exercise" in your schedule to anticipate and expect this short break in your busy life. If you are tired you training, focus on knowing that you end up in a few minutes. Better yet, try this as a time "free of distractions," an appointment with yourself.

Use what you already have

Are not you ready to go to the gym at the moment? The off the couch is a step in the right direction. "I really do not need much effort to start an exercise program. You can immediately start to work your body weight in your living room," says Cosgrove. "There are many bodyweight exercises really great. Put squat, do lunges, push-ups, all are great exercises to do at home."

Change your environment

Get up, move and leave the house. "When the couch is there, it is difficult to leave and not to sit," says Cosgrove. "You have to completely shake things up." While the room is a safe place to begin, at some point you can put in the way of your exercise goals, so avoid distractions at home and go to a different place.

Find a gym that you can adapt

If you do not like the environment, you will not return. Health clubs should not be intimidating, if the type of weights you growl or girl on the treadmill makes you feel anything but welcome, it's time to reassess your relationship with the gym. Cosgrove suggests searching for an all-female gym or browse to find the right one. Similarly, if the gym is far away, the distance will be another excuse.

Form a support system

Do not go alone. "Ten other women who are like you, who do not like to exercise but they do," says Cosgrove. "We motivates, inspires you and helps you to return the next day." Investigating a support system helps you feel responsible and sense of community of like-minded women serves as a motivation when you can not gather enough on your own.

Change your routine

Keep your routine fresh. "It's really a cycle," says Cosgrove. "Once you take the first step, making your first exercise and eating healthy on the first day, you make it easier for the next day to do it again." If you're tired of your routine, flavored things and try something different. Set a new goal and propel you get back, to avoid running the risk of falling out of your exercise cycle.

Be sure to set goals

Remember why you got up off the couch first. If your jeans, you are finally finds a new target. "Think about why you're doing," says Cosgrove. "You do not need a good reason why." In the days that you prefer to skip the gym and stay in bed, check the reason. "Remember how you feel at the end of the training session. You're always happy because he did," says Cosgrove. "You'll never regret a workout."
