Getting started is the hardest part about any exercise programme but once you’ve gotten into the habit of working out and feeling better about yourself then there is no turning back!

It is never too late to include exercise into your day. Start by taking a brisk walk for about 5-10 minutes a day and then gradually increase your exercise routine to about 30 minutes a day.

Of course at times we all find it hard to muster up the enthusiasm to exercise. Here is a list of the common barriers to physical activity, plus some tips to help you overcome them.
 
Time

Spread your time spent being physically active throughout the day. Just 10 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity three or more times a day can result in health benefits. Make simple and smart choices throughout the day like taking the stairs whenever possible and parking the car a distance from your destination to keep your body moving. 

Weather Conditions

Consider physical activity that you can participate in regardless of weather conditions such as mall walking, stair climbing, and home exercises.
 
Motivation
 
Plan ahead. Enjoy exercise with a friend or family member.
 
Social Influence

Explain to people the importance of physical activity to you. Invite them to join you in physical activity. Get to know people who regularly participate in activities you enjoy as well.
 
Family Time

Make physical activity a part of your family’s routine. Consider taking the kids for a walk, or simply play games with them during your down time. Enjoy time for yourself by exercising when the kids are playing, sleeping, or out at school.
 
Lack of Energy

Give it a chance; being physically active will actually increase your energy levels. Also, try to schedule your activity for times during the day when you generally feel most energetic
