Not only is this tough on the body, but it is also mentally discouraging. Instead, the key is to start with smaller, manageable workouts and slowly increase their intensity as the body adapts.

Playing football or basketball also improve the stamina. Enjoyment increases the likelihood of making the activity a regular habit.

Eventually, the mind will associate these two activities together, making it easier to stick to the exercise habits.

5) Buddy up- Having a workout companion can make exercising more fun and it can also provide a sense of obligation and accountability. If schedules or social distancing make it difficult to find a workout buddy , joining a fitness club or community can provide similar benefits.
