Your \u201cwhy\u201d is your personal motivation, in this case, the real reason why you exercise. You have troubles sticking to a regular exercise regime? The answer is simple: you have not found your why yet. It should be the driving force behind your commitment to exercise. The reason why you can\u2019t stop and won\u2019t stop no matter the time of the year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find a quiet spot and answer the following 3 questions honestly.  Here is an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question 1 : Why do I exercise?<\/em>  Answer 1: Because I want to lose weight<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question 2: Why do you want to lose weight?<\/em> Answer 2: Because my health is not at his best right now<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question 3: Why do you want your health to get better?<\/em> Answer 3: Because I want to see my children grow and not be burden for them<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you go! That\u2019s your why: You exercise to maintain your functional independence and be able to enjoy your children\u2019s company for as long as you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few common \u201cwhys\u201d are: to reduce stress, for my mental health, to keep functional independence, for my family or loved ones, for my self-confidence, to be a role model for my family.. Take a break now and find yours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
