Time off is wonderful, but now we’re all back tothe grind(ho hum).
I don’t want to lift weights; I want to read the thirdHunger Gamesbook!
But we must do what we must do.
Start SmallIt’s all about the small wins.
Do it first thing in the morning before you might even think about putting it off.
Slot It InSchedule the workout like you would any other meeting.
Enter it into your calendar, which puts exercise literally back on your “To Do” list.
Updating your schedule is part of getting back into the swing of things anyway, right?
Do Something You LikeIt’s obviously harder to do things that you don’t enjoy.
If you dislike running and you decide to go for a jog, you’ll keep procrastinating.
Many of us don’t like working out – it’s a means to an end.
If that’s the case, pick the activity you hate least.
Try something new and different about which you’ve always been curious.
Sign up for tennis lessons or dance classes.
Or simply start with Cohen’s 10-minute workout routine below!
If not, adjust your foot placement.
(Your target depth is where your left leg is in a 90 degree bend position).
How To: Stand with feet a little more than hip distance apart.
How To: Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing out.
Hold a single free weight with both hands in front of you.
Keep your back straight and lower yourself down, bending from your knees.
Dude – drink some coffee.
Or just have another go tomorrow!
