If you’re trying to manage your own fitness and exercise routine, whether you’re just starting out or you want to be more consistent with your efforts, it’s important to pay attention to these three areas. If you don’t, you may find yourself not making any progress at all. Take a look at these ways you can better manage your own fitness routine and see if they might work well for you. Part 1: Build Accountability Into Your Life Don’t Fall Into Self-Sabotage: If you are looking to get into shape, it is vital that you create an accountability system for yourself. The best way to ensure that you stick with your new exercise and eating plan is to make a habit of writing down your meals and tracking your workouts. Rather than just promising yourself that you will be more active, write everything down in a fitness diary or even set up a weekly appointment with yourself and keep it! Part 2: Give Yourself Proper Support Even if you have a highly self-disciplined mindset and think you’re able to manage your own fitness and exercise routine, some support can be essential. Find a friend or family member who will encourage you and help motivate you. Seek out someone who has a similar interest in physical fitness (if it’s possible) because they’ll understand what it takes to create a healthy lifestyle. Part 3: Don’t Rely on Willpower Alone A systematic approach to self care will ensure that you are managing your behavior and not letting yourself self-sabotage, while also fostering a positive relationship with exercise. Self care is vital to cultivating self awareness and discipline so that you can cope with stress in a healthy way. The most important thing to remember is that fitness should be fun for you—not something you struggle through every day. Noticing these signs of potential self sabotage can help keep track of where your own behavior may need some modification. Part 4: Use Technology to Help, Not Hurt 10 Tips for Productive Writing & Time Management Writer's Relief If you're going to be a writer—really, truly writing for a living—you have to make technology work for you, not against you. And no matter how old or young you are, if you’re making your living as a writer, it’s likely that at some point in your career, technology will become an obstacle. What then? Part 5: Keep it Fun 10 Tips to Stay Motivated on a Diet and Exercise Program Motivation is fleeting. We all know that, which is why we have to keep up our motivation by creating habits that stick. The problem is, motivation can be hard to come by—especially when you’re just starting out with your diet or exercise program. Here are some tips for keeping it fun so you stay motivated over time: Part 6: Set Realistic Goals and Targets How do you make goals that have lasting effects? How can you break down big goals into small, actionable tasks that are easier to achieve? How do you stay motivated when you’re dealing with an ongoing challenge or obstacle and don’t see results for a long time (or ever)? The following articles will help.

Sometimes those changes include adding more running or taking a new fitness class. Sometimes those changes involve adding more walking or pulling back on high intensity training. The key is that you must learn how to listen to your body and recognize whether or not it needs something different (even if what it’s telling you is not logical). When it comes to self-discipline and self-care, listening is key.
