Build Confidence by Starting an Exercise Routine

Build Confidence by Starting an Exercise Routine

If you don't have a regular exercise routine, now is the time to get off the couch and start your body moving. Consistency is the most important thing here, so it's important that you find an exercise routine that you enjoy enough that you'll actually keep it up. Choose any one of these options:

1. Find a Team Sport you Enjoy

Joining a sporting team is probably the best way to get regular exercise. You get built-in accountability and social interaction, along with a common purpose. Training and playing with your team will keep you occupied at least twice per week, which is a lot better than what your cable TV offers.

2. Get a Personal Trainer

Join a gym by all means, but don't fall for the 12-month contract deal that most people sign up for with the best of intentions and then abandon. You actually need to turn up and work out in order for it to work its magic. For this you need accountability. Knowing what the machines do and how to use the weights best will help too, and a personal trainer will teach you all this.

3. Get an Exercise Buddy

If you can't afford a personal trainer, don't fret. Just find a buddy of yours who is also interested in having a healthier lifestyle, and start getting together for regular exercise each lunch time. Run or walk together around the park if that works for you; you can talk and catch up while you do it. And your buddy doesn't necessarily have to be human... Dogs need lots of exercise and walking your dog is a great way to meet women.

4. Buy some Dumbbells. Start doing Push-ups

If your finance is tight or you don't have time to go out, you can get a basic upper body workout with a pair of dumbbells and the gravitational pull of planet earth. Hit your local sport store and buy a simple dumbbell weight set, and learn to do bicep curls by searching weight training sites on the Internet.

Keep a count of how many sets you do each day, and gradually increase the weight. Also start doing push-ups in groups of ten or twenty. Keep a count of how many you do, and add ten each day. I use a fridge magnet with numbers 20, 40, 60, 80 etc on it which I rotate to record how many I've done each day so I don't lose track. Make it a regular part of your morning routine and tell someone else about it so you'll be accountable.

This is one of over 50 activities in the Confident Man Free Confidence Building Course.
