You know your body better than anyone. When you self-regulate you pay attention to what your body needs, and can respond accordingly. For example, self-regulating during exercise means respecting your abilities and knowing your limitations. Rather than becoming frustrated at your performance or comparing yourself to a fitness instructor, learn to modify the routine to suit your needs. This means finding balance!
Educate yourself on how to modify an exercise routine. Tweak it to suit the needs of your body, and any health conditions that may limit your movements. A qualified exercise instructor or physical therapist can help you to do this. Professional help and guidance enables you to receive the benefits from exercise rather than risk injuring yourself, or worse yet, giving up on your fitness routine altogether. Take good care of you, invest in your health, and Be Well!
