Top Tips for Sticking to Exercise
Need some motivation to exercise? Follow our top tips…
1. Put a ’slim you’ photo on the fridge
- you CAN be this gorgeous confident women
2. Buy colourful new workout gear
- you feel awful in those baggy trackies and if you look the part, you feel the part. Ditch the black!
3. Reduce the amount of meals you have out
- this could be undoing all your hard work so aim to keep meals out to a minimum. Home cooked is best as you are in control of every ingredient. Of course every now and then is a lovely treat.
4. Put your workouts in your diary
- and do them, every time, no excuses whatsoever. Go girl!
5. Set achievable goals
- you can always up the tempo as the weeks progress and you get fitter
6. Treat yourself
- but only if you did EVERY workout that week
7. Stop putting it off
- ”I’ll start exercising when my workload gets lighter / kids start school / the weather is better / I’ve come back from holiday ”. We’ve helped the busiest people squeeze in their workouts and if they can do it, so can you!
8. Do something you enjoy
- hate swimming? Don’t do it! Love being outside in the fresh air? Try jogging!
9. Know the facts
- fitness levels start to decline after 48 hours of inactivity but this works the other way round too. You will be suprised how quickly you can feel fitter. Start slowly, build up and after a few weeks you will be feeling fantastic.
10. Ask a friend to train with you to maintain motivation
- we also offer personal training for friends wanting to exercise together. Healthily competitive, fun and cost effective. Please see ‘Miss Fit Mate’ for more details.
Good luck!

I enjoyed reading this putting a slim picture of yourself on the fridge is an excellent idea and I can see how this would work. I have learned a lot from your tips. I’d never thought of buying colourful gym outfits, but I can see how this would make me feel better and more confident. Often at the gym there is this unspoken competition between women to look their best. This shouldn’t be the case, but it is. I know what you mean about the baggy trackies you should see the pair of trousers that I own they are grey, baggy and years old, but they are so comfortable. I also understand about looking the part and feeling the part it is so important. Thanks for all those wonderful tips. Your blog is great!
