Comments on: My Top Fitness Tip – Making Exercise a Habit http://www.tryingfitness.com/my-top-fitness-tip-making-exercise-a-habit/ Because you've tried everything else Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:58:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Robert Grim http://www.tryingfitness.com/my-top-fitness-tip-making-exercise-a-habit/comment-page-1/#comment-37081 Robert Grim Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:29:27 +0000 http://www.tryingfitness.com/?p=870#comment-37081 Great blog and great question. I think the best way to make exercise a habit is always set a goal. Make your initial goal really achievable to set you up for success. Once you feel the energy and satisfaction from achieving your goal just set another one and carry on. I recommend setting a goal over 12 weeks, a tangible time for great change but not so far away you're going to lose focus. Great blog and great question.

I'm 20 6'1", 220 lbs. i used to have mass muscle but i for whatever awful reason, stopped going to the gym. Now I'm flabby, i need to tighten up. Ha, when i think about the gym, i laugh it off because i know how much work it is going to be to get back in that routine and especially work off the fat around the gut and those love handles. But i have heard of a machine out there called the SX-4000 Pro! i have found much interest in this product as i did my research on it, to mind amazing results. check out my video i posted on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBogPFPM7xM i think this can be a great alternative for the initial jump start into a healthy routine that you can eventually form into a strong even healthier habit.

That is the key to building habits. To build momentum you need a powerful start... I'll never forget Stephen Covey's analogy of the rocket going to the moon... it used more energy going the first mile up than it did the following 100s of thousands of miles to the moon! Momentum.

You have to make a plan that you will workout on certain days and stick to it. It can be tough in the beginning but once you have done it for a few weeks it does become a habit. Totally agree Eartha.

Everything we as human beings do is a result of a habit whether it's good or bad. A lot of people say that taking action and getting started is the hardest part, but in a lot of cases it's consistency that can derail progress. Consistency is built on forming a habit. Great post!
