Exercise motivation
Ah, exercise. For so many of us, it’s just not our friend. We can’t seem to find the time, the desire, the motivation. There’s always an excuse – I need more sleep, it’s cold, it’s dark, it’s raining, I’ve got more important things to do. But what’s more important than your health? If you want to live a long, happy, healthy life, then making time for a little exercise is smart. Start by making it so easy that you can’t make excuses not to do it. And if you need some motivation, have a look through this selection of advice and ideas.
