]]> You don’t have to wait until January 1 to get into shape—you can do it any time of the year, but the change won’t happen overnight. Keeping consistent can be hard and you will have good weeks and harder weeks making you second guess your reason for doing this. Here are four steps for creating healthy habits.

Before You Start

Write a list of reasons why you want to exercise and all the physical, social, and mental improvements you will most likely experience from starting this new habit.

Pre-Contemplative

In this initial stage you aren’t even thinking about changing your behavior, you know you want to get healthier and stronger. But chances are you have been down this road a few times and didn’t succeed so you don’t feel you can stick to it this time. Start speaking to a friend who is already exercising and ask for support and accountability when you do start.

Get Ready

Start looking at your reasons WHY you want to create this new healthy habit, stop thinking about the excuses of why not and start thinking about the why you can. Keep connecting to the WHY and this can give you more motivation to just start.

Preparation

In this stage you’re planning—you haven’t fully committed but you are thinking of all the ways you can start. Write out your intentions and start breaking them down into specific doable steps. Keep it simple—you can’t change everything all at once and have specific goals that you know you can stick to.

Action

You’ve made a commitment to start and so you need to be proud of your journey, so keep looking at how far you have come and keep motivating yourself to carry on.

]]> Most people don’t look forward to working out. It’s hard to come up with the motivation to exercise and it’s even more difficult at home. That’s where personal accountability comes in. While there are a ton of outside motivational factors, holding yourself accountable is the best way to commit to working out. Here are five steps to keep you accountable.

Work Out With Shorter Intervals

Workouts don’t have to be long to be effective and when they take up too much time, you’re more likely to skip them. Instead, try shorter workouts that are under 30 minutes long like HIIT.

Schedule It

Schedule your workouts in your calendar and make time for them like you would any other commitment.

Plan Your Outfit

Not only should you schedule your workout and what exercises you’re going to do, you should also plan your outfit. Put your clothes and workout gear aside the night before you plan on exercising. This way you won’t waste any time or skip your workout.

Check In

If you’re feeling bored with your routine, change up the workouts or scenery. And if you still aren’t feeling it, try and give 100 percent anyway.

Rewards

No matter how small your accomplishment is, acknowledge it. Celebrate the small victories with something you love like a bath, your favorite coffee, or protein shakes.
