Don't stress about making big changes -it's the little things that count.
Congratulations if you've decided to do your very best to live a healthier life, including exercising regularly. You're not alone if you're finding it a struggle.
It can be tricky to find the time or the motivation to exercise. Remember, being physically active doesn't have to mean working up a sweat at the gym or training for a marathon. Don't beat yourself up if that's not your cup of tea.
Instead, focus on planning ahead and introducing small, easy changes that will get you moving more and contribute to a larger goal of being the healthiest you can be.
We are all about encouraging Kiwis to live healthier, longer, better lives and have come up with some ideas on how to make small changes to a healthier you.
23% of adult Kiwis say they would like to participate more in sports or active recreation, but they struggle to motivate themselves - according to Sport NZ's Active Participation Survey 2017.
Start with small targets appropriate for your current level of fitness. For example, if you've taken up swimming, start by doing a few lengths non-stop and then gradually build that up. Don't put too much pressure on yourself or compare your efforts with others.
A brief, brisk walk around the car park or up a couple of flights of stairs will get your heart pumping and muscles working, as well as boosting your mood.
Whether it's dancing around your living room to your disco playlist, going for a bike ride with the kids or joining your mates for a friendly game of netball or a walk, choose enjoyable activities that don't feel like a chore.
According to researchers at Kansas State University, if you exercise with someone else you'll increase their workout time and intensity by as much as 200%. You're also more likely to have fun and less likely to skip a session.
To get moving, plan ahead with these top tips
1. Organise your day the night before so you can factor in time to exercise
2. Leave workout clothes and shoes out ready for your morning walk
3. Set an alarm to remind yourself to go for a quick walk at lunchtime
4. Get off the bus early or park further away so you get some extra physical activity
