Exercise boosts energy

If energy is a problem for you, it may be hard to contemplate exercising at all but, remember Newton's law of motion - an object at rest stays at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion. You didn't know there would be a science lesson, did you?
The point is, if you can take that first step, it'll be easier to take the second step and even easier to take the third step. Before you know it, you're actually exercising and, even better, your fatigue starts to fade away. Some tips:

• Put on your workout clothes - When you're tired, even the thought of changing clothes can keep you on the couch. Put on your workout clothes as soon as you get up or when you get home to get rid of the barrier right away.
• Make it easier to get going - Make a rule that you can't turn on the TV or sit down at the computer until you take a walk or do something active.
• Make it fun - If you're trying to create more energy, the last thing you want is a workout you hate. Choose an activity you enjoy, put on your favorite music and ease into it.
• Enlist some help - A dog that needs to be walked or a child who needs to burn off some energy are great motivators.
