Let’s talk about habits and behaviors that will encourage positive movement in your life.

 

Make one friend that is a passionate fitness junkie. Why? Because they will talk about it so much that it will drive your focus in that direction. More importantly, their action and results will inspire you. 

 

Enlist a friend with similar goals for accountability.  For example, I was doing a new glute routine with a friend. We were squat buddies. I would do 10 squats and then text her, she would do 10 and text me. Over the course of a day, we were able to get up to our rep goal of 100 per day.

 

Attach movement to something you already do like going to the restroom. During the squat challenge, I would actually do 10 squats every time I went to the washroom.

 

If you live or work in a building with stairs, take them. Get off the train one stop early. Keep extra shoes at the office. It’s about designing your life so that physically activity feels seamless.

 

Plan ahead. Have everything ready to go the day before. Gym bag, shower caddy and change of clothes if you need to go straight to the office or have a lunchtime workout planned.
