Are you having trouble sticking with your fitness program? Stay motivated with these 5 Department invites you
simple tips. to experience a variety
1. Set goals. Start with simple goals and then progress to longer range goals. Remember of classes and

events or relax in one of our many parks!
2. Think variety. Vary your activities to keep boredom at bay. Alternate walking or biking
with swimming or a low-impact aerobics class. When the weather cooperates, do your
flexibility or stretching exercises outside. Play soccer with your kids. Join a health club Your Parks & Recreation Staff

softball league. Trade your running shoes for a swimsuit. Remember, exercise doesn’t
have to be drudgery.
4. Make physical activity part of your daily routine. If it’s hard to find time for exercise,
don’t fall back on excuses. Schedule workouts as you would any other important
activity. You can also slip in physical activity throughout the day. Be creative!
5. Reward yourself. After each exercise session, take a few minutes to sit down and
relax. Reflect on what you’ve just accomplished. Savor the good feelings that exercise
gives you. This type of internal reward can help you make a long-term commitment to
regular exercise.
Now that you’re enthusiastic again, get moving! Set your goals, make it fun and pat yourself
on the back from time to time. Remember, physical activity is for life. Review these tips
whenever you feel your motivation sliding.
