SPECIAL FROM Next Avenue
By Linda Melone
If you're having a hard time motivating yourself to embrace a new fitness routine, don't give up on the plan. Instead, try taking some small steps in the course of your normal daily routine. "Small bouts of activity make movement a more normal part of your life," says psychologist Elizabeth Lombardo, the author of "A Happy You: Your Ultimate Prescription for Happiness." "We're creatures of habit. So if you take the stairs one day you're more likely to take them again the next day. After a while you won't do it consciously, it simply becomes part of your normal repertoire."
