What is the best exercise you can do? According to award-winning fitness professional Bevan James Eyles, the ideal exercise, especially if you are trying to create a workout habit that will last a lifetime, is the one you love doing.
"Even if we could determine the best exercise for physical results, you'd never get any results if you didn't like it, because you wouldn't do it," says Bevan. "When people fall in love with a type of exercise, they remove one of the biggest barriers to success. They shift from telling themselves that they should exercise to a place where they want to be doing that movement because they love doing it."
Here's how to find the perfect exercise for you...
1. Treat yourself as a beginner
For many beginners, going into an exercise environment can be scary; you can feel lost, insecure, feel like you stand out and worry that you will be judged. While this mindset can absolutely be real for you, it means it can push you away from trying. When you step into these environments, you have to tell yourself that you are a beginner and your only job is to try the exercise at a level that feels comfortable and safe for you. This beginner mindset allows you to be open to the experience and gives you permission to do it in the way that works for you.
2. Focus on your objective
