I say this quite a lot!  But ultimately, we want healthy lifestyle changes to become habits…. Take ‘I want to start exercisng regularly’ for example…. How much easier would it be if:

  • You had time to do it
  • It was easy for you to do it
  • You enjoyed it
  • You felt the benefits from doing it

First of all you’ve got to have a good reason to do something, understand that. Then you’ve got to actually start in order to build momentum… but it is possible to make it easier for yourself and allow yourself time to adjust.  Top tips from me would be:

  • Schedule workouts in your diary on a Sunday.  “I’ve scheduled it now, I know I have time”
  • Get your kit out the night before, or keep it on during the day if you can.  “I’m already ready, I may as well do it now”
  • Find an exercise you enjoy!  “I’ll do it because I like it and it means I can see [person] / have time to myself”
  • Think about how good it feels after a workout AND after you’ve done what you said you were going to do.  “Something is better than nothing – I always feel better afterwards”

If you want to make something happen, you have to start – for it to become a habit, it takes time, but framing it in a way which makes it enjoyable makes it more likely that you’ll stick to it.  Be patient but consistent!  Change take time, but following these tips should help (and you can apply this to anything!)

Exercise is a crucial component of overall health and well-being. Regular physical activity can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve mental health, and increase longevity. Here are some reasons why exercise is so important for overall health:

First, exercise can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Regular physical activity has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer. Exercise can also help manage symptoms of chronic conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Second, exercise can improve mental health. Physical activity has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and can improve mood and overall well-being. Exercise can also improve cognitive function, including memory and attention.

Third, exercise can help maintain a healthy weight. Regular physical activity can help burn calories and build muscle mass, which can help prevent obesity and maintain a healthy body weight.

Fourth, exercise can improve cardiovascular health. Regular exercise can help improve heart health by reducing blood pressure, lowering cholesterol levels, and improving circulation.

Fifth, exercise can increase longevity. Studies have shown that regular physical activity is associated with a longer lifespan and a reduced risk of premature death.

Finally, exercise should be fun!  It’s a celebration of health and a way to care about yourself and the body you live in.  

In conclusion, exercise is a critical component of overall health and well-being. Whether it’s through structured exercise programs, sports, or simply incorporating more physical activity into daily life, regular exercise can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve mental health, maintain a healthy weight, improve cardiovascular health, and increase longevity. Remember, it’s never too late to start exercising or to get ‘back into it’ – even small amounts of physical activity can have massive health benefits and I’d encourage anyone to prioritise it.  No-one ever regretted a workout!
