It’s now approaching the middle of Term 3. Homework loads are piling up, stress and anxiety levels are mounting. How can we help our kids to overcome these inevitable situations? That’s right – Physical Exercise!
Physical exercise is key to a healthy body and a productive life. Everyone knows that. But what happens when it comes to actually practising this? Success rates are really slim. Why is this? Exercise, as essential as it may be, may end up boring and monotonous. This is not to deny the existence of those fitness enthusiasts and fitness freaks who find joy in working out those muscles. But for a good number of people, exercise is simply boring. Taking the boredom out of it can improve results and better public health. Read on for some pointers to make your daily exercise something that you would look forward to.
Regularise it
There’s no point in going further without stating this. Devote a minimum amount of time for exercise without fail. There is simply no other go. Make it a part of your routine just like sleep and meals.
Challenge yourself
This can serve as a good incentive. Challenge your mind and body to better your performance while working out. This could be getting in an extra lap or putting in ten more push-ups. Adding an element of challenge always serves to increase interest.
Get yourself a competitor
A bit of healthy competition can help. If you have a workout partner then compete with him. This is really good when getting your kids to exercise. Make it a mini competition between them to see who can finish their laps quicker or do more while working out. However, make sure that the competition does not end up as a cause of demotivation.
Marathons – a good reason to workout
Is the local club organising a 10 km run to promote a healthy lifestyle? Well, that’s all the more reason for you to do a few extra laps and get your body in shape. Take part and run in such events. The aim of excelling in them should serve as a means to make you look forward to your daily exercise.
Make it a family affair
Pull your kin into it. Make it a family thing. In an age where we hardly get to spend time with our family, this can double the benefits. Bond with your family amidst the routine. This helps keep your family strong and healthy.
Add some music
Music makes everything better, doesn’t it? Add some beats and work out to the symphony of your favourite tracks. The results will definitely improve.
Vent out the stress
Why don’t you take short workout sessions when you feel stressed? Excessive eating and overtime sleeping are ways in which people generally seek to handle stress. But exercising is a more healthy, productive and positive way of driving away stress.
Mix it up
Sticking to the same routine can get boring. So, try something new every now and then. Try your hand at a bit of yoga or aerobics. This ensures that the sessions are lively and fun filled.
Work out at your own pace
Don’t compare yourself with others much. Stick to a routine that you can enjoy. You may feel that others are doing a lot more than you. Remember that at the end of the day this is not a competition with others.
A fitness tracking app
This is a good idea to add some fun to your exercise. Keep track of what you are doing. Adding technology and numbers can make the sessions something that you look forward to.
Exercise is vital for our physical and mental well-being. Try out these few steps to make your workout sessions more lively and entertaining. Work out not just for a healthy body, but also sanity of mind. Here’s to a better and fitter life!
