According to experts, the key to getting in shape for spring is to keep it simple. Which is also good advice for staying in shape all year. Here are a few key ideas to consider:
1. Identify the “why”
Getting in shape does not always mean losing weight. Perhaps you just want to feel better about yourself, have more energy and know that you’re doing something good for your body. If you identify why you want to get fit, it will help you power through a tough workout or give you the willpower to say “no thanks” to takeout tacos for the third time this week.
2. Find a way (or a few ways) to be active every day
If you find activities that you truly love, you will find joy in being active every day, even if it’s just going for a walk in your favorite place. Eliminate the “I don’t have time to work out today” excuse by embracing the short but effective exercise session. Anything you can do to get your body moving will put you in a better place mentally and is better than being completely stationary.
3. Don’t think of exercise as a punishment
Find physical activities and nutritious meals and snacks that feel like you’re giving yourself a reward. This is exactly what your health should be — a gift, something that makes you feel healthy and happy.
