Editor,
Fun – that one word is the key to your successful resolutions in 2021. Whether you dream of shedding weight or hitting a target for swimsuit season. Make your goals fun. Exercise with a friend, cook with a friend, eat with a friend. Think of getting healthy by shedding weight – not losing it. If you lose your keys or your dog, you look for them. If you shed weight, you won’t go looking for it again.
Think about exercise as seriously as you think about meal planning. A dozen times a week you plan your meals. You do it thoughtfully and budget for your food. Think of exercise the same way. How to begin? Easy: start off slowly and set goals that are realistic and that can be incorporated into your schedule. Explore different types of exercises. What do you enjoy? Do you like running, biking, or a group activity.
These factors make it easier to stick to an exercise program for every season, beyond 2021. Talk to your doctor about the best way to prime for an exercise program that’s reasonable and safe for you. Remember having fun with an exercise program will enhance its success.
