subject: Helpful Hints for Making Running Fun [print this page] Do you not like to run because you think it is too hard? If this is the case, you might be right. A very common mistake that most people make is that they try to do too much too fast. If you can change how you begin your workout process, you will be more likely to develop a regular habit of exercise. In the first few days, you will want to start at a very comfortable pace. The idea is to not push yourself too hard so that you do not want to come out the next day. If you know that you will not be pushing yourself too hard, you will get out and run more consistently. This consistency will be the key to your success. Just getting out the door and moving more often than you did before is your first step towards getting in shape. Doing more than what you did the day before will help you to progress. If you can take these tips into consideration, you will be a lot more likely to enjoy running.
