"Who
quits a
program
because
he's
having too
much
fun?"
Example
of
tangible rewards: A
new
pair
of
running shoes
if
you
knock a minute
off
your
time in
the mile.
Schedule your workout:
Get
into the habit
of
working out at the same time each day. And, write
thattime
on
yourcalendar. Makekeeping your workoutschedule as important as eating
or
sleeping.
Watch your progress:
Follow
your movement
on
the Graphic Display to help pass time and cut
down
on
boredom.
Plan a walking vacation:
If
you
know
you're
going
on
a walking tour
of
Paris
or
on
a
mountain
hiking trip
next
summer,
you'll
look forward to getting into shape for it.
Work at avoiding injuries: Phase into the sport gradually. Try running late
in
the day
when
your
muscles are well
warmed
and less vulnerable to injury. Invest
in
a pair
of
goodrunning shoes with
shock
absorption
and
heel support.
Get some group support: Joina running club or
run
with a partner. Use other
runners'
advice and
support to
get
through the rough first few months until
you
get hooked
on
running.
Train for and enter a short race: A race is a great goal towardwhichto work,
and
the excitement
of
competition is sure to keep
you
going. Try a
5K
(3
.1
mile)
or
a 10K (6.2 mile) run.
Remember;
"An
unused
engine rusts. A still stream stagnates.
An
untended gardentangles.
Much
of
what
we
pass as age is disuse." (Source: Walter M. Borts, M.D., author
of
We
Live
Too
Short
and
Die
Too
Young).
