We have been taught that an average of 3-4 exercise sessions for 30-40 minutes weekly is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, recent studies show that a 1-minute exercise program is more effective, when practised within the framework that it was developed. How can that be, right? One-minute exercises are all I need? What a pleasure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But why should we exercise at all if exercise is just about burning calories? It has been proven that an average person burns 50 calories an hour whilst sleeping! So, I can sleep my calories away? Even better \u2013 now I know how to lose weight without exercise. No gym sign-up needed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

A word of caution here \u2013 the fitness industry is not worth $98-billion by chance. Our bodies are unique \u2013 like our minds, personalities and beliefs \u2013 they are intricate and fascinating machines. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to exercising \u2013 each person has a different fitness<\/a> journey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Choose what brings you joy. The aim is to get you to do it again and again. Make the effort worth it. If you do not like what you are doing, or you thought it was going to be one thing and it turned out to be something completely different, try something else. Do your research, watch clips, finds the right app and start \u2013 today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    Have patience<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n

    Choosing what brings you joy and substantiating the reason you wish to exercise is a very good start. Being patient with yourself is the next important step. You are not going to become a fitness guru at your first attempt or within your first month of practice. You might not even lose that much weight in the first month \u2013 if that is your reason.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    If you decide to join a yoga class and you feel like a complete novice after the first session \u2013 it’s okay, you will get there. At the next session, you will remember your right from your left and before you know it, you will be twisting yourself into unthinkable positions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    The key is perseverance \u2013 do what you can do in the time that you have. Know that your efforts will ensure that you improve at each lesson or activity. If it means running a kilometre in 10 seconds less than you did the week before, that is a significant improvement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    Be patient with yourself. Learning to love exercising and staying strong is effort \u2013 but worth every toned muscle and healthy heartbeat!<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    Stop comparing yourself to \u2018that other person in the class\/video\u2019. They have a completely different body to yours \u2013 and they follow different rules that make sense for them. The only person you are competing with is yourself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

      \r\n
    1. \r\n

      Find yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n

      Stop making excuses: I don’t have time, I should be studying rather than hopping around to my favourite beats, my partner\/family will think I am selfish to take this time\u2026 (you can add your favourite excuses here).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

      Start supporting yourself by choosing you. The effort you put into exercising will never be lost because you are choosing your health which is the biggest gift you can give yourself and those you love. Think about it \u2013 how often do you take 30 minutes just for you? That\u2019s what exercise is \u2013 time you get to spend with yourself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

      Invest in your health \u2013 it matters most.<\/p>\r\n
