    One of my all time favorite talks. As a person who has completely changed their body, i thought I would drop tips as well.
    First of all, before you start exercising, slowly work yourself into an overall healthy eating pattern over the course a month first. No amount of motivation can hardly beat the chemical imbalance the average american diet imposes on us. Get your body the correct nutrition and hydration first, so then when you begin, your body can recover correctly and you wont become sick.
    Secondly, START SLOW. All physical changes in us, big or small, are adaptations., Your body is not adapted to working out, so you will likely injure yourself or become so sore that for the next two days you so you cant even work out if you push too hard on your initial attempt. Start with a speed walk, and do light resistant weight training.
    Lastly, KEEP AT IT. Like I said, its adaptation. A person who takes the first two months to adapt to working out will stay working out. You will crave the endorphins, the release of the nervous energy, and the ability to rest easier. You are always worth being healthy and being happy.

    Watched this video in 2014 and thought it must be impossible to work out every single day. -Ramped up from 3 to 7 days a week and have been training every day for a year now. In case there's anyone who feels like I did, it really IS possible and it's way easier to keep it up when you do it every day. Another thing that helped me is creating a workout plan (refreshing every few months) and a workout journal. I log the date, muscle groups, exercises, weight, sets, and reps. This creates structure; I know exactly what I'm doing that day and how much weight to lift. I hope this helps someone. I believe in you!!

    The points of this talk:
    1. WORK OUT everyday in the morning, 20 minutes or less and work against resistance.
    ›identify WHAT fitness is.
    2. MEASURE your fitness is a way of identifying the need is. Take it seriously.
    3. REWARD phsyical fitness (the belief that exercise will have a healthy impact for your overall health)
    For sure, we all know that exercise will prevent us from having obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer. But one thing I know for sure is that what you put in your mouth is also as important as the amount of exercise you're doing.

    This is SO TRUE. He’s so so funny too! I struggled for years teaching nutrition and health to thousands of people. I wondered why people didn’t want to change, even though I shared the facts of what happens if you don’t exercise, if you smoke, if you don’t eat well. It’s psychology… you have to be ready to change. Doesn’t matter how many facts you know, if you aren’t ready for change. You make time for what you think it’s most important to you. Start slow. Stay consistent. Best of luck. 🙏🙏🙏

  • @Sh4ky
    @Sh4ky 3 года назад +36

    Jordan Peterson touched on the concept of 'consistent reward', how you reward an activity effectively so you keep doing it. He stated that you don't want the reward to be too small so that it's inconsequential, but not too big so that it's unsustainable and devalues future, smaller rewards. For me, what keeps me going to the gym session after session 6 days a week is having a really good protein shake when I get home. The reward never changes; it's consistent. Seriously the reward is so important because (as Ogie stated) you're brain fights with you, but the reward serve as a negotiation tool to win it over. Hope this helps!

    His message is exactly what I learned this past year doing Keto. I have done sooooooo many diets that were never sustainable because I did not enjoy the healthy foods I was asked to eat. I psychologically felt trapped and forced to eat certain foods they say would help me lose and maintain weight. But I would only lose a couple pound. Then when I did Keto with IF, I learned it was not a diet but a lifestyle change mentality that would help me loose weight. Have you ever heard most things in life are 90% mental 10% physical? This is truth! I LOVED every piece of food on Keto and felt amazing, and not once did I feel trapped. For the first time in my life, I lost 28 pound in 4 months and found a sustainable method.

    I've believed that
    DAILY SHORT DURATION
    exercising is the ONLY way I could stick with it for a long time,
    but I've only recently put it into practice.
    I'm so GLAD to hear my thoughts validated - it's so encouraging,
    and will Inspire me to
    KNOW that I'm doing the Right Thing
    and to Keep Exercising Daily,
    For LIFE🎯‼️

      Now Present I saw it now for the first time and I am definitely taking it. Already realized the parts about exercise and motivation. There is none and won’t ever be one, so do not ever rely on motivation. For anything really, because motivation is such a flimsy thing. One day you’ll be super motivated and the next not, even though nothing changed in between. Just do it. Like Mel Robbins said in one of her ted talks - “you will never feel like doing it”. She wasn’t talking about exercise specifically, but about changing your life and how a lot of people are just waiting for the motivation to do it. That moment will never come though
