3 Secrets to Build Better Exercise Habits
A ritual: Getting started is the hardest part, so having a routine to get you going is important. Do something like playing your favourite song every time you are about to start exercising to prime your brain for activity.
Temptation bundling: Combine exercise with something you enjoy doing, like watching your series while you are on the treadmill or playing with your pet.
If-then technique: Life often does not go as planned, so know ahead of time what you will do when life gets crazy. For example, decide in advance that “If I can’t walk today, then I will do an online exercise class at home.” This has been shown to help people stick to their goals.
