Find a way to exercise that makes you feel excited, energised, and confident, something that challenges you and makes you want to keep doing it. Hate running? Skip it. Feel self-conscious in a huge gym? Work out at home. Like being social? Join a CrossFit community. To beat boredom, mix up your workouts every day by branching out to try new fitness classes or workout styles.
Your fitness routine should consist of strength training at least twice a week (Jillian Michaels suggests four times a week for fat loss) and joint-friendly cardio to keep your heart healthy. Sohee said, "Lifting weights will help build lean body mass, but stay active in other ways as well. Yoga, walking, tennis — find a physical activity that you enjoy and look forward to and perform it often." If you enjoy it, your exercise habit will be easy to maintain.
