document.write('<br />I\'m not a fan of rules and tend to want to break them as soon as I\'m told I have to follow them, but rules do make for a civilized society and they may be one of the most important parts of your exercise program. <p>Without a few rules, we risk exercise anarchy, failure and frustration.  The key is to create rules that make sense and help you reach your goals without limiting your ability to be creative and flexible with your program as needed.   <p>So, how do you do that?  One way is to look at what <a href=\"http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://exercise.about.com/od/healthinjuries/a/thinklikeanexerciser.htm\">successful exercisers</a> do and the <a href=\"http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://exercise.about.com/od/plateausmotivation/tp/10-Exercise-Rules-To-Live-By.htm\">rules they follow</a> to stay on track.  For example, many of them workout in the morning, take time to plan ahead and treat their workouts with the same importance they would, say, a meeting with the boss.  <p>Those are just a few rules to think about and I talk about several more in my latest article, <a href=\"http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://exercise.about.com/od/plateausmotivation/tp/10-Exercise-Rules-To-Live-By.htm\">10 Exercise Rules to Live By</a>.  Maybe you\'ll find something that will help make exercise easier and, if you already figured out how to do that, leave a comment to tell us about your own exercise rules.
