Fun + Fitness = Results

While we all know the benefits of working out, most of us don’t. Lack of time is the most frequent excuse given for not working out. But the reality is we always find time to do the things we really want to do. Adding the “fun” factor to your exercise plan will not only have you looking forward to working out but could greatly improve your results. Studies confirm that people who enjoy their workouts and who work out with a friend or in a group setting are more consistent and see better results. These three easy steps will help you remember to put the FUN in fitness:

F – Find an activity that you enjoy and add it to your daily schedule.

U – Use friends and family to help you stay motivated and accountable by working out together

N – Now is the best time to start being more active, little steps everyday

Physical activity should be a part of your daily life and The American Heart Association recommends 30 minutes of moderate activity, like a brisk walk, most days of the week to maintain a healthy heart. If you are not currently active, after getting your doctor’s okay, take small step everyday toward reaching the 30 minute goal, slow and steady wins the race.
