Workout resources


There are many ways to exercise.  The real key to being successful with exercise is to do it consistently.  To accomplish that, you must set reasonable, reachable goals that you can do forever, because remember, you are making a permanent change, not a temporary change.  To do something consistently you need several factors and influences, especially if you're trying to do something that you don't necessarily enjoy.  I love to exercise, but not everyone else does.  So usually you will need an intrinsic motivation, such as losing a specific amount of weight, or getting to a specific body composition.  You will likely need to have a goal such as an event like a 5K or a mud run, or marathon, or triathalon.  There are many options and types of "events" out there now, and most of them are fun.  Sign up with a partner for these events.  Learn to work out on your own, and at your house.  Don't waste money on a gym membership.  Instead buy your own equipment, and you are then enabled to do it yourself, at your convenience.  Rewards for reaching milemarkers also help to keep one going.  So in summary, you need goals, convenience, support, rewards, success, and consistency.  Keep your workouts varied so you don't get bored, plus varying exercise helps keep your body and mind guessing, which yields better results.  As such, I have added a new link in the linked portion of this blog - woddrive.com and it is a great site for providing thousands of routines at different levels of ability.  Enjoy.
