NURSED AID For Stick-To-lt Exercising If the mere thought of touching your toes a hundred times or jogging in place for ten minutes wears you out before you even start, you are not alone. While few people will deny the benefits of exercising to keep fit, the fact is that if you’re a typical American (especially if you’re over 40) you’ve probably had a lot of false starts with exercise programs. Let’s face it, every few people find themselves doing pushups for the fun of it or get up in the middle of the night on impulse to work out with barbells. The problem with regular fitness workouts is that too often they become routine and tedious. Here, then, are some tips on how you can keep your exercise sessions from getting dull, from the Health Insurance Institute. • Whether you're a runner, jogger, or a gymnast, get another member of your family or a friend to join in. You will find that having the companionship of a fellow jogger or a co-exerciser will make the workout much more pleasant. • Rather than face the same walls every day, change the scene. If you exercise at home, work out in different rooms. For those who participate in outside fitness programs, an occasional change of locale to prevent tedium is advised. • Alternate your exercises from day to day. However, do start with the easier exercises first in order to warm up. • Do set yourself a definite starting time for your daily workout and stick to it. Keeping to the same time slot is usually the only way most people can work a regular exercise routine into their daily schedule. • Don’t overtire yourself. If you exercise at an unaccustomed pace, your body will only become wearier as your enthusiasm gets lower. • Set goals for yourself and keep a chart of vour progress—miles you’ve run as well as pounds and inches lost. Better a has been than a never was. True .. . But better a never was than a never tried to be.
