CORNERSTONE: Fitness

Chapter 2 of THE SPARK focuses on fitness. It is so hard for me to get moving but once I get a schedule down and stick to it. I LOVE TO EXCERCISE! It takes a while though. It is a love hate relationship.

In the book they say this which sums it up quite well:
There is something about excercise that makes us feel that we should immediately be transformed and feel ecstatic. I believe this is the single most common reason why people never develop the consistent excercise program that could change their lives.

Consider it from your body' perspective. It has been accustomed to sitting around with its feet up. Now all at once you are asking parts of yourself that may have been dormant for years to move, flex and bend.

This is why the book suggests starting small, staying consistent and building momentum. Begin with small and measureable goals for your fitness program.

My favorite quote from the book "There's a law in physics that says a body at rest tends to stay at rest and a body in motion tends to stay in motion. This law also applies to our bodies."

So the goal this week: Start out small with some type of moving. Maybe park at the very end of the lot or take the steps instead of the elevator.
