Do not let the same thing happen this year, discover how to fulfill the purpose of doing more exercise
Choose the appropriate activity
The first key to successfully achieving the purpose of exercising more is to choose the appropriate activity. Many people hate gyms, but they are not willing to exercise outdoors in cold weather, so a good idea is to choose a gym or center that offers some activity that you enjoy doing, such as swimming, spinning, yoga or the pilates. If you choose what you like or what you have always wanted to practice, you will feel encouraged to continue
See little by little
There is a tendency to initiate the purpose with unbridled energy, something that quickly exhausts us and makes us see that goal as impossible to fulfill. You must put a requirement that is within your reach, for example I will swim every day 20 minutes, this is a simple and viable goal that you can fulfill. Once you begin to feel the benefits of exercise, you will not only continue but you will probably spend more time
Forget the excuses
I do not have time, I do not like gyms, I do not know what exercise to do. There are thousands of excuses to sabotage our purpose, if you really want to achieve it, avoid them, do not you have time? Are they only 20 minutes a day? Do not you like gyms? Do you practice any activity that has nothing to do with them? Do you know what to do ?, Look at a list of activities and encourage yourself to sign up for a class
Focus on the benefits
There are many benefits of exercise, but undoubtedly the best is what produces in our brain, the release of endorphins that make us feel good, fighting depression, improving mood, self-esteem and even sex. That day in which you feel lazy, that in which the excuses invade you, remember the feeling you have after exercising and cheer up

Share the wish with someone else
Sometimes to start the purpose of doing more exercise it is good to start the activity with a friend, which is very important at this point is not to depend on the other, learn to have independence. This strategy works at the beginning to not feel alone but you can not fall into the situation of "if he does not go I will not go"
Be realistic with the results
If you want to start doing more exercise for health, congratulations !, but if your intentions with losing weight, you must be realistic with the results. Sport is a great tool to reduce, but must be accompanied by a healthy diet and a routine of at least 30 minutes a day, so be realistic with the results that will always be proportional to your effort
