10 Exercise Rules to Live By

Mused while drinking Laughing Man coffee. A fair trade coffee from actor Hugh Jackman found at Kroger.

1. Give yourself time. Figure out what exercise and when you can do it. Learn the exercises. Do it because you enjoy it.
2. Plan ahead. Scheduling, clothing, equipment.
3. Commit to workouts. Make it nonnegotiable.
4. Exercise in the morning. Fewer excuses to skip. Gives energy for the rest of the day. Even if it is only 5 minutes, it will feel better.
5. Think before you skip. Why am I skipping and is it worth it?

(Did You Know? NEW FORMAT! To McKenna’s Musing I will be adding in books, recipes, wines, articles and anything else that you may find interesting outside of health and fitness. Think of it as “La Dolce Vita” (the sweet life) section of this weekly.)

6. Recognize your excuses and work around them.
7. Listen to your body. Pain, fatigue, and stress may mean you need to take a break and heal. R.I.C.E. rest, ice, compression, elevation.
8. Find balance in your workouts. Stretching, balance, strength, and cardiovascular all need attention.
9. Embrace variety. Change your workout every 4-6 weeks for maximal results and your own interest.
10. Allow for failure. Forgive yourself, learn from it, and get back on track.
