With all of the nutritional nightmares in today’s normal diet which make you inactive and sloth-like, it is easy to see exercise as something you would rather avoid. Your body is the most amazing machine ever created, (Is God cool or what?) and it tends to become accustomed to whatever type of activity habits you program it with. A human body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a human being in motion tends to stay in motion. Here are a few ways to stop seeing exercise as something negative, so you can begin to live a happier, healthier and longer life.
- Start scheduling your exercise first thing in the morning when you wake up. This has been proven to lead to better health patterns and improved day-long productivity. It is hard to look upon your daily or weekly exercise as something you would rather avoid when you begin to get more done and feel healthier.
- Exercise consistently for 17 to 21 days. Your mind is the most gifted computer ever designed. And it takes generally two and a half to three weeks to program your supercomputer.
After that time, which may be shorter for some and longer for others, your exercise regimen has become a habit. You no longer have to look upon it as something you dread, as it moves from the emotional state to a pre-programmed and automatic activity.
- Make sure you are having fun!!!! People always ask me what exercise is the best and I always answer with “The one you will do!”
