Transcript – Start Slowly & Start Small

Hey there.

So now we're going to talk about the fact that you don't have to totally let living healthier completely consume your world. You don't have to totally disrupt your day.

In fact, in this program, I am going to teach you the concept called "habit stacking," where you will fit more physical activity and better food choices, just into your day, so it becomes a part of your day... something that you won't even have to think about doing anymore.

So that's the exciting part. Because if you feel like you have to do everything...

How many times, at the beginning of the year, have you joined the gym, or recommited to going to the gym.

And you do that really well for a week... two weeks... maybe three weeks. You're going every day right after work. You're there for an hour. You're seeing results. You're pumped up. You're fired up.

And then that Tuesday afternoon, after work, you can't go.

No big deal, you'll go on Wednesday.

You go on Wednesday. You go on Thursday. Friday, your butt is dragging. It's been a long day. It's been a long work week. You really don't feel like going to the gym. And so you skip it.

And then the next week, on Monday you go to the gym.

On Tuesday -- "Ooooh."

On Wednesday -- "Nooooo."

And so you start to back off that behavior.

Because an hour a day at the gym, after work, was not sustainable for you.

So, what we are going to do is start small. We are going to let you pick your own pace. We're going to find places within your day to just kind of slide some physical activity in there. And sure, it doesn't have the big payoff of spending an hour at the gym, but at the same time, if you're doing it consistently, and as the program goes on, we'll start increasing those amounts time that you're spending doing these activities. So eventually, you will be spending 30 or 40 or 60 minutes a day, performing some type of physical activity, if that's your choice.

But we can start small, and still reap benefits from very small activities. So that's the message that I have for you in this video clip.
