Is it difficult to maintain exercise habits? Start by walking a little more every day

Everyone knows that exercise is good, but they don’t know what to do to get rid of their natural laziness and persevere in moving towards exercise. Fitness coach Lin Qiuyin said that most people who will take the initiative to sign up for sports centers or gyms usually want to exercise in pursuit of a better figure, due to emotional stimulation, or because their health is in danger. If the motivation is not clear and strong enough, they will give up halfway.

Start with "walking" and move towards a sporty life!

All things are difficult at the beginning, and this is especially true for exercise. Why not start by changing the things you experience every day in your life! For commuters who choose to take the MRT or bus to go to work, leave home 10 to 20 minutes earlier every day and get off one stop earlier. Walk a little further every day. Don’t underestimate the health benefits of walking; the effects are amazing in the long run! If you ride a bike or drive a car, you might as well park your car some distance away from the company. Not only will it be easier to find a parking space, you can also take this opportunity to take a walk and increase your exercise.

How long did it take to wait for the elevator? Why not try climbing stairs?

In addition, when going to work or going home, stairs are also a free exercise tool that everyone can use. Needless to say, for floors within three floors, climbing stairs is not only good for health but also saves energy, reduces carbon emissions and protects the earth. If your home or office is too high to walk up in one breath, you can choose to climb 2 to 3 flights of stairs and then take the elevator. This will not waste too much time and can train your physical strength and increase exercise time.

Sitting for too long is deadly! Drinking more water is a disguised way to increase activity

Studies have proven that standing or sitting for long periods of time is harmful to health and has no benefits. Changing your posture and increasing your activity level every once in a while is the best way to protect your body. Maybe you will say, "I'm too busy at work. I don't even have time to pee, so how can I have time to exercise?" Having said that, if you don't give your body some time to breathe and rest, it will not only harm your physical health, but also cause a surge in mental stress. Drink more water! Increasing the body's metabolism also allows you to squeeze out time to fill water or go to the toilet. Even if you only leave the chair for 3 minutes, it's better than nothing!
