Eddie’s Tip: Small steps make a big difference. You don’t have to do everything at once. Just start with what feels doable today.
- Look for easy ways to be active, for example, instead of using a lift, go up or down by using the stairs, instead of using a car to get to places, walk to places like the grocery store. Be more active in your everyday life, like doing shopping, house cleaning, and gardening.
- Do exercise in your free time, jogging a short distance, yoga, swimming, and riding a bike. Yoga is a big step. Yoga improves your flexibility, it makes you mentally strong, reduces stress,
etc . - Start slowly, there is no point in doing severe training this can harm you find something to do that is within your capacity.
- Enjoy yourself while you’re doing things, take a friend with you, or you can listen to music while doing exercise, and this can make things a lot easier.
- Make a timetable of what you will be doing, this has to be within your range, don’t go over the top this is because it will be less likely for you to stick to the timetable
- Reading books and magazines will motivate you to exercise and keep yourself fit, which will also increase your knowledge about fitness and how important it is to everyone
