Stay Motivated To Be In Shape In The Office 01/06/2011
Staying motivated to get yourself moving in the office can be tough. It is easy to fall into the comforts of your chair and not want to get up. Everything is at your fingers tips and how you feel like you never have to get up. There are several ways to do it and I would like to show you how. 1. Set Goals and work towards them. Have a goal that you want to attain and break it into small little steps that you can do on a daily basis. That way, you won't get bogged down by the bigger goal you have. For example, you want to lose a few inches off your waist. You can think of immediate and actionable steps you can do right away to attain your goal and work towards it. You can say drink more water instead of drinking caffeinated drinks. For lunch to you can decide to start eating salads. After work you may plan to start working out once a week for 15-30 minutes. Write it down if you feel that helps. 2. Have a workout buddy at the office that is achieving similar goals. Having a person that you can work with a give you accountability. You can tell each other what you want to accomplish and have someone hold you accountable for it. If you missed a workout or started to munch on too much junk food, you can talk to your buddy and figure out what went wrong. Maybe you set your goals too high or something came up that was out of your control. It is best to have a buddy at your office, so you can do things like taking a walk during lunch or catch your buddy buying unhealthy snacks and hold him accountable for it. You can also find online fitness and health forums online and you can sign up to chat with like minded people who want to accomplish the same goals. You can post something on a forum and people can send you their feedback. There is probably a forum for anyone, men, women, specific job types, etc. 3. Mix it up The main reason why people don't stick with their fitness plans is because they are bored of it or it's not fun. The only thing you can do is to mix it up. You can join a sports team, drive to a different location to run, sign up for an aerobics class. There are plenty of ideas and things to do, to keep it interesting for you.
