The exercise success path

BABY STEP YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS

The ultimate goal of our exercise habit is that we exercise 30+ minutes, at least 4x/week. (Ideally 3 days strength, 1 day cardio OR 2 days strength, 2 days cardio. Exercise lovers can do more!) How do we get there? Baby steps! PLEASE do not attempt to go from a sedentary lifestyle to 4 days a week of exercise, as you are likely to fail and possibly hurt yourself in the process. Instead, we must work our way toward the goal. We have taken the ultimate goal and broken it down into baby steps. The very first step on the path is a simple 2 minute habit of doing the warm up. Anyone can do this! 

Chris has created "Learn It" teachings on exercise! You can find it on the Exercise page of the 7 Habits of a HFL lesson.

Determine which habit you will work on this month. Practice the same habit for 30 days.
