Attitude - All or Nothing

Since our behaviors are largely the result of our thoughts, the way we think about fitness and activity often determines whether or not we'll choose an active lifestyle. One of the most subtle forms of sabotage to any fitness commitment is all-or-nothing thinking.

If you're having trouble starting or staying consistent with a fitness routine, get rid of the notion that you must do it "right" or not at all. And remember three things:
  • Some activity is always better than none.
  • There's no perfect exercise; whatever you enjoy and will do regularly is a good choice.
  • You may not be as fit as you wish you were right now, but the sooner you start moving, the sooner you'll get there!

    So true! I always end up saying I'll do it tomorrow when I have enough time to exercise and it never happens because I have that all-or-nothing thought process. It's hard to break from that, but really importatnt to give it your best try. Thanks for the support!
