Reasons to make exercise more of a priority in your life:kissing:


Most of us can find time to watch a favourite movie or listen to a new piece of music by a band or a musician we like. But for many people, exercise isn't perceived as fun. Here are a few ideas you may want to consider to make exercising more enjoyable:

* Exercise with a friend at a pace that means you can still talk to each other

* Be active to music:thumbs:

* Choose to exercise in a beautiful place, such as a beach, park or river bank

* Exercise while wearing clothes that make you feel good and feel comfortable

* Vary your activity so you don't get bored so, for example, if you normally exercise indoors, try an outdoor activity and vice versa


From a health perspective, the important thing is that you're moving, your heart is pumping blood at a slightly increased rate and you're using up calories to power your muscles. So choose activities that you want to do, not those that you think you should do - there's more chance you'll find time for them.


Life's priorities

All of us have priorities that form the 'have-to-do' list in our lives. These priorities might include caring for someone, attending school or college, finding a job or going to work. Sometimes these become more than just priorities and take up all our time, leaving little space for leisure and recreation.

However, there's a well-established and growing scientific theory that shows physical activity is an essential part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Consider that:

* Physical inactivity is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. In other words, if you don't exercise, you dramatically increase your risk of dying from a heart attack.


* Being physically active is associated with good mental health. It can help in the management of conditions such as depression and anxiety.


* Obesity is on the increase and part of the solution is physical activity. If you don't do enough exercise and you eat too much, you're going to get fat, which can be dangerous to your health.


* Exercise also has a positive effect on a range of medical conditions including hypertension, diabetes and lower back pain.


To achieve these health benefits, it's recommended that people take 30 minutes' moderate physical activity (for example, brisk walking), five days a week.

That's 1.5 per cent of the total time in a seven-day week - and for a priority such as improving your health, that represents an excellent investment of time and effort.


Some simple ways in which you can find a few extra minutes in order to get more active


The early bird

The most obvious way to find more time in your day is to get up earlier. If you normally set the alarm clock for 7.30am, set it for 7am instead and use the extra half hour to go for a walk or take part in some other form of physical activity you enjoy.

Alternatively, if you're not an early bird, consider looking at how you could use any free time you have in the evening to increase you activity patterns. You might want to look for a gym that's open 24 hours, or buy some home exercise equipment so you can work out while watching the television or listening to the radio.

However, it's important that you listen to your body. Our natural 24-hour biological cycle (circadian rhythms) means we experience exercise differently at different times of the day. Most of us know whether we're a 'morning person' or not.

If you find it hard to get up in the morning, don't try to exercise then as it will be difficult to stick to your new routine and won't enjoy what you're doing. It's important to exercise when you feel at your best for physical activity. Experiment to find a time that suits you.
Time-management tips

Here are some ideas on how you can get more active more often.

1. Make an appointment to exercise - and write it in your diary. You could also record what you did in your workout, so you can keep track of your achievements. You can extend this idea by actually making a real appointment with a friend, colleague or relative to exercise together. Alternatively, if you use your computer on a daily basis, set up a reminder message to take a walk or go for a swim.

2. Keep some exercise kit handy in the places you spend most of your time. This might mean leaving clothes at college, work, with friends or relatives, or in the boot of your car. By having some clothes handy you can exercise whenever you get an unexpected free 15 minutes or a sudden burst of enthusiasm.

3. Practise saying no to people who ask you to do things that aren't your responsibility, or don't even need doing, yet take up valuable time. Protect your free time so you can use it for sport, exercise or physical activity.

4. Find ways of working, caring for others or studying smarter rather then harder. For example, use your computer skills to save time on a range of mundane activities, then use the free time you've created to be physically active.

5. If you're in employment, make sure you take all your holiday entitlement. Consider taking active holidays such as a cycle tour or trekking trip.

6. If you own a car, leave it at home as much as possible and walk or cycle to the shops for those small things such as milk or a newspaper.

7. As an experiment, don't wear a watch for a weekend to see if being released from this 'jailer' liberates you to do more physical activity.
