How to get workout addiction
Some people jokingly refer to "being addicted" to exercise when they really enjoy working out. While having an exercise routine that works for you is part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle, it's important to be aware that you actually can become "addicted" to exercise, just as you would alcohol or other drugs, and this isn't healthy. The key to avoiding addiction while also doing regular physical activity is setting achievable goals for yourself and not letting exercise become an obsession. Exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, but too much can lead to serious negative side effects
Part 1 : Motivating Yourself For Exercise
Enjoy your exercise. Engaging in physical activities that you enjoy will transform exercise into a hobby rather than pure calorie burning. Everyone is interested in different levels of intensity in their workout. Finding something appropriate and enjoyable for you will help you keep exercising as well as establish a healthy relationship with exercise
If you enjoy mingling with those in your community and lifting
weights, the gym could be perfect for you
If you are into more solitary, aerobic exercise, try walking or jogging. This is easy to pair with a number of other hobbies, such as bird watching
Dancing is an excellent way to exercise. If you enjoy dancing, enroll in an aerobic dance class that meets regularly
Keep yourself entertained. Many teens and adults use exercise as a healthy escape from everyday stressors. While you are still getting your body and mind acclimated to exercise, try getting your focus off the burn. Run on the treadmill or track with a portable music device, or watch TV while you work out at home
Some apps, such as the Zombies Run app, offer immersive audio storylines that are geared toward helping you run or walk and stay entertained at the same time
Exercise at your own pace. Choosing to exercise at your own pace may help you become more comfortable with your routine without any added pressure from peers or trainers. Make sure you are pushing yourself to get the most out of your routine. Increasing your heart rate will has more health benefits than exercising only at a comfort level – just make sure not to push yourself too hard
