Get On a Schedule
This step is simple, at least in theory: Create a non-negotiable workout schedule. Sit down and figure out how to add at least 10 minutes of planned exercise into your schedule every single day.
It doesn't have to be much! Here are some ideas
- Add a 10 minutes walk to your lunch break
- Work it, while gluing your eyes on the Korean dramas, add in some squats or lunges
- Pick your happy tune in the morning, and dance around the bathroom while brushing your pearlies
Creating a regular habit is crucial to long-term success, and small, daily steps that you can accomplish relatively easily and feel good about will help cement the knowledge that, yes, you can exercise regularly, and no, it doesn't have to be a giant, torturous production.
