Don’t put your exercise stuff like workout clothing, dumbbells and footwear away from you because visual cues are a wake-up call to your brain. We all have compromised our priorities to work, family chores and society but sometimes these things are a reminder to keep exercise at the forefront. Putting fitness poster also helps as visual cues or a reminder to exercise.

 

Become a Morning Person

Exercising in the morning can help you in keeping yourself energetic throughout the day; the least you delay exercising to evenings the better. If you wait until later in the day, it’s most likely that things will pop up and get in the way of your work out.

Get a Friend with Same Goal
