5. Expand your social circle, if you want.
Friends and acquaintances are part of life. Just because you want to forge on with a new healthy lifestyle does not mean you have to do it alone. While there is one option to exercise in the comfort of your own home, you can also use this as an opportunity to increase your social interaction. You can join a gym or attend a fitness class to meet other people working on their fitness goals. Human beings are social creatures. You can bring a friend to help support each other. If you do not know anyone who wants to go with you, you can still get the social interaction.

Just being around other people can also help boost your mood. Many gyms have fitness trainers who can help you obtain your goals. What you would like to do depends entirely on what makes you feel comfortable. Making your workouts more social will also increase the likelihood that you will stick with your physical program and continue to reap the health benefits. You and your friend can keep each other accountable in finishing your workout sessions and sticking to your quest for a better quality of life.
