1. Start Slow and Build Gradually • Pace Yourself: It’s important not to rush into a new routine. Start with small, manageable steps and gradually increase intensity or duration. This reduces the risk of injury and prevents burnout. • Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body responds to new activities. If something feels too strenuous, adjust the goal or consult with a healthcare provider. 2. Seek Support and Accountability • Involve Family and Friends: Share your goals with family members or friends who can provide encouragement and accountability. Consider partnering with someone who has similar goals. • Professional Guidance: Work with a healthcare provider, physical therapist, or personal trainer who can offer expert advice and help track progress. 3. Stay Flexible • Adapt to Changes: Life circumstances and health can change, requiring adjustments to your goals. If a goal becomes unachievable, modify it to better suit your current situation. • Celebrate Small Wins: Recognize and celebrate progress, no matter how small. This helps maintain motivation and reinforces positive behavior.
