Let’s be real for a moment: starting a new exercise routine can feel like a challenge. And sticking to it, that can feel overwhelming. Between all the life admin and tv-time, it’s easier to simply put it off. The good news is, you’re not alone! There is a way to make exercise easier and more enjoyable. It’s not magic-it’s all about building a habit.
Have you ever noticed how making a morning coffee doesn’t require much thought anymore? Or how brushing your teeth is simply part of your routine? That’s the power of habit. The same applies for exercise. Once it finds its place in your routine, it feels natural-like something you want to do rather than have to do.
Big changes don’t happen overnight, but baby steps? They compound. Setting up S.M.A.R.T goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely) has been proven to work. Here’s what that can look like in everyday life:
Challenging or daunting tasks always feel lighter when you’re not alone. A light-hearted and supportive group can make exercise feel fun. That’s why, at Active & Ageless, we’ve built a community – and a timetable full of classes – to help keep you motivated.
What’s the key here? Keep it simple and celebrate your wins (big or small)
Follow this for three weeks and you may start to notice it becoming habitual. Need a little more convincing? Check out ‘The Power of Habit’ by Charles Duhigg.
Good luck!
