When we stand naked in front of the mirror, you can see a lot of imperfections — lovehandles, fat arms, and maybe even butt and thigh cellulite. There’s a lot of reason a person becomes overweight, as you know your genes could be more responsible for it than your eating habits.

People enroll to gym classes to get into the habit of exercise. But almost everyone drops the enthusiasm at one point. After a long time of eating healthy, fries and burger seems to be heavenly and it’s getting more and more impossible to resist deep fried chicken or say no to yams.

Once you get an exercise habit, don’t break it. It’s the only way to stick to the program. If you’re finding it hard to do it, let these tips help you.

Maintain a regular exercise schedule. Whether it’s every two days, every weekend or once a month, never pass up on an exercise schedule because once you break it, you might lose the drive.

Don’t count your push-ups. Push-ups and sit-ups are very strenuous routines. If you start counting, it might even become more stressful. So just get into the position, and do as many as you can. Your body will show improved performance even if you’re not counting the difference.

Get a big calendar and assign it as your exercise checker. Mark an X for every day you have successfully committed. But you can’t cheat your calendar. Having a calendar checker means if you pass on an exercise day, there’s a big blank square that’s going to make you feel guilty for the rest of the month.

Which part of your body do you sincerely want to enhance? Adhering to a strict exercise routine requires deep commitment. That kind of commitment can only be achieved if you are really serious about the makeover.

For example, if you plan to wear a skimpy bikini next summer and there’s no way you will expose your butt in its present state, then it means you have no choice but to really be religious in those routines. Otherwise, you’ll be haunted by the thought of wearing a shirt while all the other girls are gorgeous in their swimwear.

Is there a nagger in the house? Ask that person to nag you mercilessly if you ever try to escape an exercise schedule.
