  1. Strive for at least 150 minutes of exercise per week<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Break it down to 40 minutes 4 days a week, 30 minutes 5 days a week, or however, you\u2019d like! Choose what works best for your lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Cut your coffee calories<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Cut calories in your morning cup of coffee by skipping the cream and sugar. Instead, try drinking it black or reducing your amount of each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Prioritize consistency over intensity.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        “You are better off doing a 45-minute, moderate-intensity strength circuit three times per week than to do a two-hour, high-intensity workout six times a week, and then burning out in three weeks because it\u2019s not sustainable. And remember that it takes time and consistency to build your body, but one workout can put you in a better mood. You leave it all in the gym: the annoying boss, the argument with your best friend, being stuck in traffic\u2026 It\u2019s like you get to press reset.” \u2014Valerie Waters, celebrity trainer and creator of Valslides, @valeriewaters<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        4. Be kind to yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Individual motivation \u2013 or the lack of it \u2013 is only part of the bigger picture. Money, parenting demands or even where you live can all be stumbling blocks, says Sniehotta. Tiredness, depression, work stress or ill family members can all have an impact on physical activity. \u201cIf there is a lot of support around you, you will find it easier to maintain physical activity,\u201d he points out. \u201cIf you live in certain parts of the country, you might be more comfortable doing outdoor physical activity than in others. To conclude that people who don\u2019t get enough physical activity are just lacking motivation is problematic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        5. Make it a habit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        When you take up running, it can be tiring just getting out of the door \u2013 where are your shoes? Your water bottle? What route are you going to take? After a while, points out Sniehottta, \u201cthere are no longer costs associated with the activity\u201d. Doing physical activity regularly and planning for it \u201chelps make it a sustainable behaviour\u201d. Missing sessions doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
