7 Habits of A Highly Effective Exerciser

Are you an effective exerciser or do just kind of go with it and do whatever?  Just as certain habits can make you a better listener, speaker or even a better friend, there are specific habits that can make you a better exerciser.

I have put together a list of the 7 habits I feel will help you become a more effective exerciser:

1. Know why you are exercising.  People who exercise with a purpose generally are more motivated and stick with the program longer.
2. Log your workouts.  By logging your workouts you know where you have been, what you are doing and can see the progress you are making.
3. Consistent hard work.  Effective exercisers do not skip multiple workout days.  They develop a plan for dealing with unexpected interruptions and do not make excuses.
4. They know how to take a day off and allow their body to take the break it needs.
5. Effective exercisers stay well hydrated and eat nutrient dense foods that aid in training.
6. They have a workout plan that is written with their goals in mind.  In other words, it is not a cookie cutter one size fits all downloaded program.
7. Last but not least, they can take the good with the bad.  they realize they are not perfect and will have that off day once in awhile or ask for help when needed.

Take a look at your exercising traits how do you stack up compared to my highly effective exerciser?
