Choose a form of exercise that brings you joy. Whether it's dancing, swimming, or running, find what moves you and stick with it! Investing in enjoyable activities will keep you motivated long-term.

Plan and schedule your workouts, making them a top priority. Don't skip a beat; treat your workouts like important appointments you won't want to miss.
