Not a big deal not to exercise.

Is exercising less not an idea that sits well with you? To do less won’t bring that same sense of achievement. It won’t be as rewarding. How would things be for you? if it where not a big deal not to exercise.
​

What this comes down to is that you are worried that you will fall off the wagon if you do less, you will lose your hard-earned fitness, scarred of gaining weight, a mindset of either you do it properly or you don’t do it at all.
​

None of these things will happen.

If you look at a lifetime, you want to have a foundation that you can rely on for a lifetime whatever happens.

So if you get injured and it stops you dead in your tracks in your chosen physical activity you can still be and feel healthy. Because you have the discipline, knowledge and tools to achieve this.

How do you know if you have a mindset where it is a big deal not to exercise?

• Not exercising for a week feels like you have fallen off the wagon
• Convinced that you lost fitness
• Taking a walk instead of a run doesn’t feel as rewarding.
• Valuing less frequent big physical efforts over small consistent ones.

These are some examples. If you relate these and have had similar ones then you know you will benefit form working on your relationship with how health and exercise is being done.

Its not a big deal not to exercise. Imagine the relief to feel that you are in control and if you are not exercising for a week you know you wont lose anything.

First and foremost you want to make decision with your long term health in mind and build a sustainable foundation. Once you’ve got that extending on that will become easier.
