Why You Should Reset Your Exercise Routine

As you continue with your journey to reset your life and health, have you considered 
your exercise routine? Resetting is simply the process of analyzing and making 
changes as needed. It feels like a way of starting over, and making it work better for 
you.

Here are some things to consider when it comes to resetting your exercise routine.


Exercise Improves Your Health

The first reason it is a good idea to reset or at least revisit your exercise routine is 
because of how beneficial exercise is for your health. While many people only think of it 
as a way to lose weight or tone up, it can be more helpful to look at it as something 
good you do for your body and your general health.

Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your heart and cardiovascular health. 
When you have any sort of high blood pressure or heart issues, the first thing doctors 
recommend is to get more cardio workouts. 

In addition, using resistance or weight training helps you to become stronger, more 
flexible, and makes it easier to prevent serious injuries.


You Might Be Moving Your Body Out of Habit

It is not uncommon to exercise or move your body in a way that is simply out of habit, 
and not because you actually enjoy it. While building habits is important, you are looking 
more for the behavior change of exercising in general, as opposed to needing to do a 
specific form of movement.

When you reset your exercise routine, it gives you the opportunity to decide if there is 
another form of movement that would be better for you, but have not considered yet. 

Use this time to write down the forms of movement you do most often. Maybe you go on 
a walk every day at lunch, have a favorite at-home workout, or use the elliptical at the 
gym. 

Next, write down exercises you have never done, or haven’t done in a long time. This 
can give you a good idea of what to add to your future workout plan during this reset.


It Can Be Good to Try New Things

It is always a good idea to try new things, and that includes your exercise routine. 
During an exercise reset, everything from the types of workouts you do, to the days and 
times, can all be adjusted. Any time you are reflecting on what is and isn’t working for 
you, it is a good idea to come up with alternatives. 

If you are used to exercising first thing in the morning, why not try the evening? This can 
be an entirely different experience and change many other things in your lifestyle as 
well.
