by Emily Lemon & Hana Medvesek<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n Are you ready to make some positive changes in your life? Maybe you\u2019ve tried it before and stuck with it for a few weeks or even months. You started to notice a difference in your energy levels, quality of sleep, and how you felt in your body. But then there was a setback. Maybe you got sick, went on vacation, or had to work on a big project that devoured all your time. Your routine was interrupted, and you\u2019re ready to make a new beginning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Understanding <\/span>how the brain works<\/span> with you and sometimes against you as you try to get back to your routine can help you identify the best strategy to get you committed to fitness again.<\/span><\/p>\n There are three essential things to remember when establishing a new exercise routine. Try writing these phrases down and sticking them on your wall so you don\u2019t forget.<\/span><\/p>\n Whether you are learning a new language, a musical instrument, or how to have healthy relationships with people, the principle is the same. You need to be patient with yourself. Improving at something takes time, and you will mess up a lot along the way. It\u2019s no different with strength training.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The more time you invest in it and the more you practice, the better you will get. And the changes you experience in your mind and body are incredibly rewarding. So, be patient with yourself along your strength journey. Forgive yourself for taking breaks or overdoing it once in a while. Remember, this is a long-term investment in your relationship with yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n The ability to create healthy habits has nothing to do with strength of character or willpower. There are established strategies we can implement to set ourselves up for success. These include starting with little changes, such as refilling your water glass every time you go to the toilet at work to make sure you\u2019re staying hydrated. It also helps if you do it every day, so if fitness is your goal, build more movement into your daily schedule by doing two push-ups when you get out of bed every morning or squats while you brush your teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n3 Key Factors in Exercise Commitment<\/span><\/h2>\n
1. Patience<\/span><\/h3>\n
2. Building Good Habits<\/span><\/h3>\n
