This Common Fault Thursday, we’re discussing why you should always exercise for one hour 👀
NOPE 🙅♂️
Do: Exercise as often as possible. Do it for you and because you know you’ll feel better. Setting a goal of going to the gym 3 times a week is awesome but don’t just overlook the fact that doing 5 squats every time you stand up or 3 pushups when you refill your water will have enormous benefits. It is the cumulative longer term dividend of healthy behaviors. Exercising for an hour every single day is fantastic for some people while it is completing unrealistic for others. Make sure that you’re moving and making note that you FEEL BETTER when you’re doing it and when you’re done.
Don’t: Compare. Absolutely note that you’re capable of amazing things, but set realistic expectations. We all remember a time when we were really fit or loved our training program. Take some time to understand WHY that was. Did you live in the city, have a gym in your apartment building, your kids weren’t in sports yet, and life wasn’t as high in stress?... Once you understand the other factors you can begin to assemble a plan that WILL work for you in these circumstances and in this season of your life.
