Getting back into an exercise routine or trying to create a new one can be difficult if you do not know where to start. Some people find exercising regularly hard for many reasons, whether they have a busy schedule, get bored with the same old exercise routine, or rarely like going to the gym. If it sounds like you, it's time for the new exercise regimen.
That being said, exercising frequently is important for you to stay healthy, whether you are trying to lose weight or not. Creating a new exercise regimen is easy, and when done correctly, it can keep you motivated and eager to work out.
#1. Figure Out Your Availability
Everyone has a busy schedule to handle between taking care of children, going to work, and downtime spent with friends and family. One of the first things you should do when creating a new exercise regimen is figuring out what days you can free up time to exercise.
In order to stay fit, you should aim to work out two-three days a week for at least 30-45 minutes each day. Even if you can only free up an hour a day to work out, you are still on your way to get in shape.
#2. Switch It Up
One of the most common reasons people give up on their exercise regimen is because they get bored. If you are doing the same three workouts every week, it will not be long before you get bored, too. Prevent this by switching up your exercise routine.
Pick a handful of your favourite exercises and randomise them throughout your schedule for the next few weeks; that way you are keeping things interesting and working different parts of your body without getting bored or too comfortable with the same regimen. Keep your body in shape and fit by working out a different muscle or area each time you go to the gym.

#3. Keep A Calendar
When creating your new exercise regimen, you want to make sure you stay on track with your exercise routine, as well as make sure you are doing the right workout for that day.
To make this task easier, buy yourself a new calendar and write your weekly exercise schedule big enough for it to stand out to you every day. If you are a busy person, add your workout schedule to your personal one so it holds just as much importance to you as any other appointment or schedule.
If you are serious about creating a new exercise regimen, you will need to treat your workout schedule like all other activities and commitments.

#4. Find Exercises You Like
Nothing kills the motivation to work out faster than forcing yourself to do an exercise you hate. If you cannot stand running or lifting weights, do not force yourself to do those activities.
Stick to exercises you enjoy and search for other ones that you can add to your regimen. The more excited you are about the exercises you have picked for your regiment, the more likely you will want to stick to it.
#5. Make Reasonable Goals
No matter how much weight you want to lose or how much muscle you are trying to gain, keep your goals realistic.
Obviously, you cannot expect yourself to change in one week, so in order to stay healthy, you need to take your time. The progress you make will not be immediately apparent, so as long as you set reasonable goals for yourself every week or every month, you will see results in no time.
The Bottom Line
Creating a new exercise regimen can be fun, so get creative with it. Look for dance classes at your local rec centre for something different or colour code your calendar for an artistic touch. The more you motivate yourself as you create your regimen, the more excited you will start to work out.
If you want to stay motivated while working out, try creating a regimen that excites you. By setting goals and planning your workouts, you can stay on track and achieve your fitness goals.
