[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text single_style=””]We have made the case on the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle by confirming the positive effects an exercise programme will have on your overall wellbeing. In this article, we will be exploring reasons for exercising and setting fitness goals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We\u2019ve highlighted before that your reason for exercising is unique \u2013 you may be exercising for recreation, for health reasons, for competition, to maintain a specific appearance or to maintain sufficient physical activity to maintain a healthy body. Each choice you make will influence your fitness goals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Exercising is a personal experience, and it is linked to your abilities, preferences, schedule and access to facilities. It does not help that you plan to do strength exercises with weights but you do not have access to the relevant equipment needed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All of these considerations will be assessed in the next article where we will start choosing exercise programmes. But right now, we need to find your reason and get going!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why is it that we appoint financial experts and tax specialists to manage our finances but when it comes to our health we \u2018do what we can or what we have time for<\/em>?\u2019 Does this make any sense? What does it take to get you going? Like everything in life \u2013 creating a plan and setting goals is critical for success.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Fitness<\/a>Fitness goals provide focus and should be motivational. The aim is to achieve them \u2013 not just plan to plan. Thus, set the goals that you can reach, once you have allowed exercise to become part of your daily activities, your fitness goals can be adjusted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Identify the sacrifices you will have to make, acknowledge them, make peace with them and just do it.<\/p>\r\n

6. Tell someone<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Make your goals known to someone or everyone. Through your journey you will need support \u2013 it takes a village! Tell your colleague, partner, sister, brother, friends \u2013 anyone who you know will support you in your journey. Stick to the people who will encourage you and keep you focussed and motivated (even if you have to pay them to do it). Post your goals online if you have to, or measure your progress with a photo log.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

7. Take action every day<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Decide to be healthy every day. Staying healthy and doing what you need to do is a daily choice \u2013 choose your health daily. Step out of your comfort zone and embrace progress with enthusiasm (no matter how small it is).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Stay focussed, patient and determined and you will reach the long-term goals you identified.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
