Tips for keeping motivated to move

Tips for keeping motivated to move

  • Work out as a family. Exercising together will not only enable you to motivate each other but will reduce the chance of distraction from having to tend to the needs of little ones.
  • Schedule time to exercise. Try to make this the same time each day and ensure that the whole family knows that this is ‘exercise time.’
  • Collate a ripper playlist. Great music makes all the difference!
  • Dress for the occasion. Changing into comfortable workout clothes and shoes will help put you in the right headspace for exercise.
  • Track your progress.
  • Reward yourself. Set yourself a simple, achievable goal and choose a (non-food related) reward.
