PERSONALIZE YOUR WORKOUT

PERSONALIZE YOUR WORKOUT

Getting enough physical activity can make both your body and mind feel better. It can also help prevent or delay health problems.

- Know your goals. Try to set specific short- and long- term goals. Then talk with your health care provider about the types and amount of exercise you can safely do.

- Do what you enjoy. Don’t struggle with a workout you hate. Build in activities that make both your body and brain feel good.

- Find a partner. Ask a family member or friend to be active with you. Activity may be more fun with someone.

- Track your progress. You might not feel as though you’re making progress, but you may be pleasantly surprised if you look back at where you started.

- Review your goals. Did you meet your goals? If not, why? Are they doable? Brainstorm some options of what to do differently.
