#1 Don't make your exercise plan contingent on what you weigh -Studies show it's the exercise not the weight loss that is making you healthier. Injuries and just plain quitting, are the two biggest reasons people end up back on the couch. Make your exercise plan easy.
#2 Use a heart rate monitor for biofeedback -With this simple piece of technology you can easily learn how to see your progress in real fitness terms, not in pant size.
#3 Talk Nice To Yourself - When it comes to motivation, nothing stops forward movement cold like harsh criticism. So talk nice to yourself and praise small baby steps toward your goal. Time plus consistent, slow progress wins the race. Especially when the finish line is health (good physical and good mental health).
#4 Start slow - It only takes a 12 minutes of walking a day to make a long term difference in health!
#5 Have Fun - Everything is better when it's fun. Remember what it was like to go outside and just play at being active? All Activities count! Tag your it!
