Give Yourself Permission

Mention the word exercise and many people have a default "zone out" mechanism

, they simply don't want to talk about it, read about it, or be overloaded with any more guilt inducing reasons why they should be doing more of it.

Start a conversation about having fun though, and you are far more likely to get their full attention!

The key to fitness may not be pushing yourself to follow a set exercise regime, it might be as easy as finding something fun to do that involves body movement.

Granted, there are many bona fide gym junkies out there, and I know of one couple who hit the gym together and call out encouraging affirmations to each other such as "You are so strong!" and "Your ass looks great!" as they both passionately work out.

Personally I think I would end up in a giggling heap on the floor of the gym, but the key to their success is that they make it fun and believe in and support each other.

For so many more of us, going to the gym feels a bit like being sent to detention, it's a punishment, not a pleasure, and we are the ones that need to find a new plan.

Sometimes deleting the word exercise from the plan can be the secret to success. Concentrate entirely on the fun factor.

What is it that you really enjoy doing?

It can be as widely varied as a quiet walk along a secluded beach, to shooting hoops with some mates down at the park, walking the dog, or learning a new form of dance.

You may decide that it's roller skating or paintball, or going for a surf or a swim or learning a martial art. You certainly don't have to limit yourself to one thing, why not try something new every week?

So long as your chosen fun activity involves body movement, enjoy it as often as you can and if you "accidently get some exercise" while having fun, well that's great!

Making the time for some physical activity, and including the expenses for the things you really enjoy doing in your budget, are all part of giving yourself permission to really enjoy life to the full.
