It’s easier to jog every day if you have a routine. Develop a routine that’s best suited for you. For instance, if you’re not actively exercising, start with a 20-minute light jog then increase your pace for the next 20-minutes. A routine will also help you to be more consistent as you’re more aware of what you should be doing.

  1. Get A Partner

Jogging can be a great way to catch up with your friends while keeping fit. You can even make it a social event to meet up with your friends daily. Recruit a friend or spouse to be your jogging partner when you start and pick a place and time that’s convenient for both of you.
