Unlock your workout motivation

Health and wellness

Let’s be honest: We know exercise is good for us, but what will actually make it stick? Dan Wise and Rhiannon Polak, trusted exercise educators at the HonorHealth Bariatric Center, share their top tips to make your workouts fun, exciting and easy to keep up with.

"We encourage you to start small and discover what excites you about each workout," says Polak. "With the right mindset and a few simple tweaks, you'll create a routine you’ll love coming back to." 

10 ways to make your workout stick:

  1. Find a fitness buddy: A workout partner keeps you motivated.
  2. Keep it fun: Love what you do — when it’s fun, you’ll stick with it.
  3. Stay ready: Keep your gym bag packed and excuses at bay.
  4. Feel the beat: Build a playlist that fires you up and gets you moving.
  5. Think big (or small): Walk, run or dance — every step counts.
  6. Plan it: Schedule your workouts like appointments to own your week.
  7. Challenge yourself: Try a fitness app and turn progress into a game.
  8. Upgrade your gear: Comfy, stylish clothes make you feel unstoppable.
  9. Visualize your victory: Picture how great you'll feel after each workout.
  10. Reward yourself: Treat yourself to something you love ... within reason.
