5 tips to Stay Motivated to Exercise

1. Start with what you can do and enjoy.

Go on a walk, ride a bike, take a fitness class.

2. Track your progress.

You do not have to exercise for a long period of time; participating in 10-15 minutes a day can help improve your health. Then add 5 more minutes a week.

3. Make it social.

It is easier to exercise and stay consistent if you exercise with companions. This does not only make it enjoyable; it can help you stay accountable.

4. Build exercise into your day.

Take the stairs or park in the back of the parking lot.

5. Schedule exercise into your day as if it were an appointment.
