How To Get Motivated to Exercise

Bodily training is beneficial. Yet, many who say "I need to exercise” just don’t seem too eager to follow through.

If you feel similarly, consider three payoffs to having a good exercise program.

Payoff 1. Exercise boosts your immune system. If you can’t find time to exercise, you’d better find time to be sick.

Payoff 2. Exercise releases chemicals into the brain that calm you. Running is a good release when you have a lot on my mind. Physically you'll feel refreshed, and emotionally it’s a great relief.

Payoff 3. Exercise can increase your fun. Outdoors exercise like swimming and biking.

Secret to Success: Devote at least 20 minutes three times a week to a vigorous physical activity that you enjoy.

Remember this: While genetics play a role, your physical condition is often determined by the lifestyle you choose. So when you say “I need to exercise,” the choice is yours; you can do something about it!

The scales tilt up at one end by just 3 micrometers —less than one twentieth the thickness of a human hair. Yet this tiny tilt lets the lantern shine almost 50 percent more brightly than it would if the scales formed an even surface!
