Have you ever started an exercise program, only to stop after a few days or weeks?
The gym membership goes unused. The equipment gathers dust. And another New Year’s resolution quietly disappears. 😅
As a Lifestyle Medicine physician, let me share two simple secrets that have worked for me.
Secret #1: Find an exercise or sport you genuinely LOVE. ❤️
I tried jogging and different kinds of exercise before. But when I discovered pickleball, everything changed. 🏓
I play as often as I can, sometimes for hours, because I genuinely enjoy it. I don’t have to force myself to exercise anymore. I actually look forward to it.
The best exercise isn’t necessarily the hardest one. It’s the one you enjoy enough to keep doing.
Secret #2: Hydrate well. 💧
My constant companion on the pickleball court is Kangen Water.
For me, it’s my favorite sports drink. No sugary sports drinks needed. I bring plenty of Kangen Water to help me stay hydrated while I play, especially during long sessions.
People sometimes ask how I can keep playing for hours. 😆 Well, now you know one of my secrets. 💧
Pickleball + Kangen Water. 🏓💧
Find movement you love. Hydrate well. And build healthy habits you can actually enjoy for life.
