How to have success creating the habit of working out!! This is EXACTLY what I did and 4 years later I am still so grateful I took the time to build this habit the way that I did. First, you are going to decide to walk for 20 mins a day 5 days a week. If you can only do 3 days, that’s okay! Whatever works for you is amazing, starting is the most important part. Next, you are going to choose your habit loop for walking. That is going to help you get very clear on what you are doing and when. For example, your habit loop could be Cue: 8:30am after drinking coffee Routine: go outside and walk for 20 mins Reward: starting off your day with physical movement and a small win. Or it could be Cue: 5:00 right when you finish work Routine: get in car and drive to the gym + walk for 20 mins Reward: creating the habit of going to the gym + working towards your goals. After you have your habit loop I want you to follow this schedule After you show up and go walk for 1 week I want you to buy yourself a small reward. It can be flowers, your favorite coffee, maybe a new water bottle or go crazy and get a workout set for your walks! After 2 more weeks of showing up and walking I want you to get yourself a bigger reward. Something like a pair of new walking shoes or even your favorite meal (free rewards could be a spa night or a fun at home movie night) (Week 1= small reward Week 2+3= big reward) Then after your first 3 weeks I want you to either decide to add 10 mins on and make your walk 30 mins or if you feel ready I want you to challenge yourself to also try a new workout or to try a new workout class! While you build the habit of walking I want you to try and find other types of movement you actually like + want to do! Then once you find that new type of movement you repeat this same cycle! Or if you love walking that is amazing and you can continue with that! I walk now 7 days a week because I absolutely LOVE IT. This is exactly how I created the habit of consistently working out and showing up for myself. I love you and this will work for you too, you just have to try it! YOU HAVE GOT THIS!!
