  3. Make exercise enjoyable • Group fitness classes (YMCA, Adventure 212, Wellness Spa, Curves) • Do something you love to do such as bowling, swimming, or biking • Try Wii Fit or other active video games • At home fitness video or fitness channel on TV

  4. Stay with exercise Why some people quit… • Boredom • Don’t know what they are doing • Pain/Soreness • Lack of Variety • Discouraged What to do… • Get a personal trainer • Try something new • Different training type • Continue to go • Bring a friend

  5. Ask for help • Any fitness facility has trainers who would love to help you out • Seek out a professional • Ask your friends, co-workers, or family members • Mention it to your doctor

  6. Train as a family • Family workouts • Fitness facilities with day care • Exercise videos • Location based fitness • Shopping • Water parks • Exercise video games • Good old fashion ways • Frisbee • Baseball • Basketball

  7. See a doctor • When: • Soreness lingers for more then 4 days • You are having difficulty walking, sleeping, or doing daily activities • Pain is not getting better • Why: • Serious problems can develop very quickly is an injury is not treated properly • The sooner you are treated, the sooner you can get back to 100% • Also… • Avoid exercise pain by starting slow and gradually easing back into exercise • See a personal trainer to ensure you’re performing exercises correctly

  8. Get serious • Plan exercise into your schedule • Keep your “exercise” appointment • 60 minutes a day (break up into four 15 min segments if you have to) • Use every trick in the book to get a few more minutes of exercise each day • Park your car farther from the door • Take the stairs whenever possible • Walk or bike instead of driving • Remember: Exercise will give you more energy
