A habit is formed by doing something for 2 weeks at a time.
This is what science tells us. We repeat a pattern of things for the two weeks
and it becomes a habit. It is quite frightening to think that this is all that
it takes for us for example to become hooked on nicotine or junk food.
But there are healthy habits such as getting up and going for some daily exercise. I have always found that this is far preferable before work and best done by getting up that little bit earlier. It doesn't really matter if it’s a walk, run, bike ride, gym session or aerobics class that you choose to do, repeating this pattern for the period of 14 days will result in it becoming as natural to you as brushing your teeth.
Surely even the biggest haters of exercise and physical activity would have to say that in the greater scheme of things 14 days is not that much time to devote to doing things. As I have said continually here, the biggest killer for us in the west over the coming years will surely be that plain and simple fact that we are going to eat ourselves to death. Routine exercise can help combat this and offset any weight gains.
What exercise routine do you follow in the morning and how does it set you up for the day?
Together we can all beat this problem of obesity!
