Many people are too tired or say that they don\u2019t have enough time to maintain a regular fitness program. One of the biggest motivators to getting exercise is simply to be rested, healthy and energetic \u2013 impossible without enough sleep. Science teaches that it takes a certain amount and quality of sleep to:<\/p>

  • Metabolize carbohydrates properly,<\/li>
  • Maintain leptin, growth hormones, proper blood pressure and insulin resistance,<\/li>
  • Keep a positive attitude through decreased anxiety and perceived stress.<\/li><\/ul>

    Most people fall off the exercise wagon after about three weeks. Their motivation for it crashes when they do not maintain or change to healthy sleeping habits. Without enough sleep, it becomes difficult to get motivated to go out and get proper exercise. In fact, the main excuse for not getting enough exercise is either being \u201ctoo tired\u201d or having \u201cno time.\u201d Often, it is the combination of both, making it extremely difficult to maintain a balanced life.<\/p>

    It generally takes about 7 hours of quality sleep for most people. Too few achieve that with today\u2019s busy lifestyles. People often get the sequence backwards, working on sleep after getting going on a new exercise routine. Or worse, getting no sleep or less sleep than before. This is often because the exercise is simply added to the existing busy schedule.<\/p>

    Here are ten ways to ensure fitness success. A large part of the process is to ensure the program will stick.<\/p>

    • Get plenty of sleep \u2013 track your sleep.<\/li>
    • Set realistic goals and timelines for your fitness program.<\/li>
    • Join a clinic or group to surround yourself with motivated people.<\/li>
    • Track you progress.<\/li>
    • Tell everyone about your goals.<\/li>
    • Make it fun \u2013 mp3 player \u2013 music or business audio books \u2013 fun sports\u2026<\/li>
    • Do not over train.<\/li>
    • Reward yourself \u2013 but not with a lot of food.<\/li>
    • Book it in hard \u2013 be consistent (5 times a week, not 3).<\/li>
    • Get professional help \u2013 personal trainer.<\/li><\/ul>

      The point about 5 times per week rather than the 3 times often prescribed is important. It is really hard to form a habit at 3 times because there is often a conflict knocking out one of the days, reducing it to 2 which is useless. To build it into a habit, 5 times will work because even with 1 or 2 getting rescheduled or knocked out, there is enough there to make it work. Sometimes all 5 will work out which is fine.<\/p>

      By building proper sleep into the fitness routine up front, more time is created overall. As the process becomes more streamlined, productivity goes up. Often, there is also less wasted downtime during the day. Someone who is rested and fit doesn\u2019t need to head off to quiet corners or feel the need to head to a fast food joint for a break as often as others. Someone who isn\u2019t as tired likely won\u2019t be as hungry either.<\/p>
