Here’s a simple mind hack – stop thinking of your work-outs as 30 minute commitments.
Start thinking of them as 20 minute commitments instead. It’s a simple shift but it has been a big part of the success behind the regular exercise habit I’ve formed in 2013.
30 minute has this funny effect of seeming too long. But, 20 minutes? If you say you haven’t gotten 20 minutes to get fit, then you’re surely kidding yourself, right?
So, when you start thinking of exercising tomorrow and find your brain throwing up all sorts of excuses, pitch the 20 minute idea. It works.
(Let me know how it goes anyway! ;-))
