After undergoing TCM slimming weight loss treatment, you’ve taken it in your stride to commit to the diet plan after. Although they might work wonders for you, why not take it a step further by incorporating some exercise into your daily routine?

Contrary to popular belief, the purpose of exercising isn’t merely to lose weight, but to also maintain a healthy lifestyle that’ll have your future-self thanking you down the road. Yet, the hardest part of getting your body moving is, ironically, making the first step. But if you’d like to change that, then here are some tips that you can follow.

1. Set off with the right intentions

The most common mindset to working out is to lose weight. While that’s one of the goals, it shouldn’t be the main one. The thing with exercise is that it’s a slow, gradual process that’ll take time. And to lose weight, there are other habits that you must do too. Instead, think simple: you’re looking to cultivate exercising into a new and lifelong habit that lasts even after you’ve met your goals!

2. Create mini goals that leads to your main goal

There’s nothing wrong with dreaming big. But if you’re new to exercising, you’d need to set achievable goals as you progress along your journey. For instance, it can be hitting ten thousand steps whenever you take a walk. And when you achieve these goals, it gives you a sense of progress which boosts your self-motivation. As you hit your goals, that’s the point where you might start feeling bored. At this juncture, it’s great to start stretching your goals to challenge yourself to go further.

3. Work your schedule around fitness

Instead of including a workout session as an afterthought, regard it as a necessary activity that must be done – like how you must go to work daily. Once you consider it as something important, it’ll help your mind prioritise your workout routines! The duration of each session does not have to go beyond an hour. You can even do something small like walking every day, to help establish a fitness routine. In time, you might end up making space for fitness in your schedule rather than putting it on the back burner.

4. Keep track of tiny changes as you progress

Be it a metre more, or even going for an additional five minutes. No matter how small it seems, these small changes can add up to something significant and meaningful as time goes by. It also helps create a foundation for your routine, which you can build on gradually.

5. Vary your workouts

No matter how effective the best weight loss program at the gym or anywhere else is, it’s always good to shake things up in between. If you’ve been participating in high-intensity interval training (HIIT), then you can consider Pilates. Though it’s a 180-degree change from HIIT, this low-impact form of exercise is excellent in building up your strength and endurance. With a wealth of workouts to discover, there’s always room to spice things up along the way.

Practise consistency in the pursuit of your goals

A significant factor that keeps people from exercising is that it seems like hard work, even though it doesn’t have to be. It’s up to you to fill your workout sessions with fun activities, like dancing! No matter what your future goals are, always be kind to yourself throughout the journey.
