EVERYTHING COUNTS

Changing sedentary habits can be difficult . If your enthusiasm for exercise starts to wane , try these strategies :

1.fight discouragement by focusing on short term goals that can be attained more easily .
ask for support . the encouragement of your friends and family should help you keep going .
2.make sure you still enjoy what you are doing . If not try varying your route , inviting a friend or family member to join you , or switching our to a different form of exercise .
3.Pick up a book or magazine devoted to your favorite physical activity to get some new tips .
4.Treat yourself to a new pair of shoes / walking shorts instead of any eating’s.
5.Jot down what you do each day to keep a record of your progress . Keep a habit of looking back every week , take pride in your accomplishments.
6.If you need to miss several days of exercise because of injury or illness or any other unavoidable reason , wait until you feel better before resuming .Till that time you can easily keep a watch on the diet . But for exercise to restart you may need to do it at low level initially . But don’t get concerned , soon you will be enjoying your previous level of activity and all its benefits .

Keeping a good thing going.
