Why don't we exercise when we know it is good for us?

Some tips

If you intend to exercise tomorrow, leave your exercise clothes and runners out the night before.

Make yourself accountable by telling someone you intend to exercise tomorrow.

Make a commitment to meet at a specific time so you know people will be waiting for you.

Remove the phrase "I used to" from your vocabulary. There's no such thing as "shoulda, coulda and woulda" If you shoulda and coulda you woulda.

Set an achievable target and mentally tick off your success when you achieve it. If you don't achieve it, mentally congratulate yourself for trying and resolve to achieve it next time.

Let's get started


A brisk walk from 12W to 9W steps and then 3 sets of the 9W stairs. The view from the top is awesome.

Stairs

Look upon stairs as a passport to fitness, not a thing to be avoided. Notice how the new DFO at the bottom of Bourke Street in Melbourne has traffic lights on Spencer St that take you directly across to escalators whilst just to the left are the stairs. Why aren't the stairs directly across and the escalators just to the left?

Take the stairs and feel the enjoyment of the climb!
