Tweet Boost Your Self Confidence by Exercising

Working out in a gym or sometimes even in the privacy of your home exercise room can be intimidating. Here are top five tips for people to boost their self confidence about exercising.

1. Be consistent
If you exercise 4 5 times per week, that is a great step in the right direction. Consistency will win out every time over getting a workout in twice a month, but not doing much else. Set up a workout program by researching and goal settings yourself. Be consistent in the way you perform exercises also and ask a qualified fitness person if you’re not sure of the proper form. If you can follow through with consistent exercising, you’ve taken a huge step in the right direction.


2. Step up your workouts
If you feel like you can give a little more effort, then do so. Add an extra one or two day of training here or there, or add on a few additional exercises during a workout if you’re feeling extra motivation. This will help you feel good even better about yourself after the workout.

3. Exercising enjoyable
Include exercises you enjoy in your workout. Trying to climb the rope or do jogging. You should have a well rounded exercise program for sure, but incorporate as many exercises that you like to do and it will be easier and more fun to stick to.

4. Write it down
Keeping a training log is an excellent way to monitor your progress and stay motivated. If you are doing particularly well or poorly in certain areas of training, a written record will help you make adjustments in your down time. 

5. Do not be too hard on yourself
If you have a slip up or missed workouts, or feel flat during a session, do not get down on yourself. Try to get back to exercising as soon as possible so that a bad few days or week doesn’t turn into a lost month or more. It’s easy to get back on track after missed days.
