Why is starting and sticking to an exercise program such a struggle?
The New Year’s resolution paradox explains it best. Millions of people make New Year’s resolutions every year, it’s one of the most popular goal-setting vehicles.
Yet, mountains of research data show that nearly 90% of all New Year’s resolutions are never realized. And more than half are abandoned before January is even over.
How come?
It’s simple inertia:
Bodies in motion tend to remain in motion
And bodies at rest tend to remain at rest.
Meanwhile, the more time you “remain at rest,” the worse you feel, the worse you look, and the more you jeopardize your health and longevity.
How do you overcome the inertia trap?
Develop The Exercise Habit
You can turn exercise into a habit by following these three steps:
Step 1: Start Slow + Keep it Simple
Eager to exercise, but not sure how to get started? Impatient to see results, but don’t want to overdo it or hurt yourself?
When starting an exercise program, it’s best to begin slowly with simple movements that build a solid foundation. This allows your body to adapt, setting you up for long-term consistency and success.
Step 2: Schedule Your Workouts
Want to make exercise part of your regular routine? Schedule it.
Block out at least one hour, at least three days a week, and mark it on your calendar. From now on, this is sacred time dedicated to your exercise program.
Step 3: Get Qualified Help
Relying solely on yourself to develop an exercise habit can be tough. It’s easy to make excuses and skip a workout. After you skip one, it’s easy to skip another. Then another. Until you’ve totally abandoned your exercise program.
But you can avoid this all-too-common pitfall.
