Dont Stop Untill You Acheive The Body You Want!

It's okay, you can finally admit it. It's been two months since you've seen the inside of the gym. Getting sick, family crisis, overtime at work and school papers that needed to get finished all kept you for exercising. Now, the question is: how do you start again?


1)Don't Break the Habit -

The easiest way to keep things going is simply not to stop. Avoid long breaks in exercising or rebuilding the habit will take some effort. This may be advice a little too late for some people. But if you have an exercise habit going, don't drop it at the first sign of trouble.
Reward Showing Up - Woody Allen once said that, "Half of life is showing up." I'd argue that 90% of making a habit is just making the effort to get there. You can worry about your weight, amount of laps you run or the amount you can bench press later.

2)Commit for Thirty Days -

Make a commitment to go every day (even just for 20 minutes) for one month. This will solidify the exercise habit. By making a commitment you also take pressure off yourself in the first weeks back of deciding whether to go.
Make it Fun - If you don't enjoy yourself at the gym, it is going to be hard to keep it a habit. There are thousands of ways you can move your body and exercise, so don't give up if you've decided lifting weights or doing crunches isn't for you. Many large fitness centers will offer a range of programs that can suit your tastes.

3)Schedule During Quiet Hours -

Don't put exercise time in a place where it will easily be pushed aside by something more important. Right after work or first thing in the morning are often good places to put it. Lunch-hour workouts might be too easy to skip if work demands start mounting.
Get a Buddy - Grab a friend to join you. Having a social aspect to exercising can boost your commitment to the exercise habit.

4)X Your Calendar -

One person I know has the habit of drawing a red "X" through any day on the calendar he goes to the gym. The benefit of this is it quickly shows how long it has been since you've gone to the gym. Keeping a steady amount of X's on your calendar is an easy way to motivate yourself.
