Struggling to Exercise? Need Help Getting Back on Track!

Some suggestions for getting back into exercise include starting with small steps that turn into big ones, tracking your steps with a fitness tracker, and rewarding yourself with non-food items every two weeks or end of the month. You could also try doing exercises that feel like they're hardly exercising much at all, such as walking, a few crunches, a plank, squats, or Russian twists. Over time, your mind will associate with being a person who gets to work out, even if it is just 5 minutes. This can create a reward system for a happy brain because you get to check off a goal. If 5 minutes gets manageable, you can add more time in increments of 5 and try to come up with exercise routines/habits you can manage within that time frame. Another suggestion is to join a pool and do some swimming, as it's light on your joints and muscles. Lastly, having a workout buddy can also help with motivation and consistency.
