So, how do we turn our intentions into action
and past failures into future success?
First,
know that you are going to fail.
Sometimes.
There are going to be times that
you miss exercising or eat a giant piece of
chocolate cake. But even multiple failures does
not mean the goal is unobtainable or unworthy
of the effort. Give yourself a break and forget it.
Give your heart and body a break by continuing
to work towards a healthier, more active life.
Creating a pattern of routine exercise and
leading an active lifestyle can improve overall
health and play an important role in weight
loss.
Healthier choices and lifestyle habits can lead
to increased energy, improved mood, and
increased self-esteem.
Daily exercise reduces the risk of heart attack,
breast cancer, osteoporosis, insomnia, high
blood pressure, and high cholesterol. It’s worth
it!
