First of all, exercise will only become a habit if it’s fun! Pick something you will enjoy doing. Here are a few easy ways to incorporate exercise into your lifestyle as an essential habit:
- Stick to a regular exercise time every day.
- Sign a contract committing yourself to exercise.
- Put "exercise appointments" on your calendar.
- Keep a daily log or diary of your exercise activities.
- Ask your doctor to write a prescription for your exercise program, such as what type of exercise to do, how often to exercise and for how long to exercise.
- Think about joining a health club. The cost gives some people an incentive to exercise regularly.
Once you are on your way to making exercise a regular habit, then to check your progress ask yourself:
- Can you walk a certain distance faster now than when you began exercising?
- Is your heart rate slower now?
- Can you exercise longer now?
