Keri Glassman: Reach Your Exercise Goals

5

Hey, I'm Keri Glassman, here with some quick and simple tips to help you feel just a little

bit better. You can plan to exercise every day, just like you can plan to win the lottery

or to be elected president. Great goals, but for some things the gap between wanting and

doing is vast. And, just may not be realistic in your life at this very moment. And that’s

okay. Only 5 percent of Americans exercise every single day, so don’t feel bad if you

can’t hit that mark. Sure, it’s great if youre among the elite, but the reality

of the situation is that most of us can't find the time for daily workouts even if we

have that superior motivation. Expecting yourself to suddenly become a workout warrior is setting

the bar just a little too high. And there’s the potential chain reaction it can cause

when you miss your Monday workout, and you feel like now the whole week is shot. What

is most important is to be consistent for what you can do. Even if it’s possible for

you to exercise every day, why not aim for three or four days per week and over-deliver,

rather than shoot for the stars and fall short? Consider your schedule and level of commitment

when setting your exercise goals. Make your goals challenging but achievable. Living up

to the challenge is a great feeling and will keep you motivated to continue. So remember:

Very few people find the time and motivation to work out every single day, so set your

exercise goals at a challenging but realistic level, and when you consistently achieve these

goals, youll definitely feel a little bit better.
