Big Tip #5: Keep Exercise Social
Keeping exercise social can have many benefits.
One of my previous clients met up with a friend every morning, rain or shine, for a power walk.
Big Tip #4: Keep Exercise Fun
Yes, exercise is technically “work,” but don’t forget that it can also be fun!
In fact, I recommend you make it fun, because again, the point is that you’ve committed to making exercise a part of your life for the rest of your life, right?

There are many ways to do that.
One way is to try different types of physical activity – maybe things you’ve always wanted to try or that look fun, but you haven’t mustered up the courage to try yet.
