The Conduit to Fitness
Community Strength
Today’s topic is community. I’ve had the word in my head for days, and it’s a topic I’ve put off in the past because to talk about community as I would have a year ago doesn’t match the state of our world right now.
Make Hard Things Easier
I’m fascinated by habit formation and behavior change, and I’ve just started reading Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg, PhD. Fogg makes a convincing case in the early part of the book (I’m not even 50 pages in) that behavior equals motivation plus ability plus a prompt, and that to focus on motivation alone as the reason why we have success or failure when working to create behavior change is missing part of the equation.
When It Rains
Have you ever had a day when you just didn’t feel like exercising? Maybe it was too cold or you were too tired, or you had a lot on your list and didn’t want to stop and switch gears to work out…
One Step at a Time
So…how do you eat a watermelon? One bite at a time, right? (Given the season, maybe we should be talking about apple pie? Hmmmm…) And how do you walk or run a 5K? Yes — one step at a time.
Regular Rest Is Key
As we begin October, I’m reminded of how my running habits typically change around this time each year. Though I typically run outside year-round, I reduce my weekly run frequency and average distance over the late fall and early winter months in most years. This year will be a little different, as I’m planning to run more consistently over the coming colder season.
How to Change
Do you know what happens when you start acting like the person you wish to be? (This is not a trick question.)
Your Preferences Matter
The cooler weather is lovely, isn’t it? I hope you’ve been getting outside to walk, run, or engage in another activity of your choice if doing so strikes your fancy this time of year.
