It really help me to find a good habit to loss weight and to be physically fit. I have joined martial arts training, it helps me to be more disciplined and responsible. I loss weight as well as learning to defend my self against wicked people out there. Nice post scott, Thanks for your tips.

It's very different. Granted, I'd kind of been working on these for around a year each (although with a huge break in the year from any exercise)... but I was doing push-ups every 3-4 days and always waited impatiently for the next day I could do them and sometimes would find I hadn't gotten stronger after all that waiting, which was really irritating and demotivating. Finally one day I was like, I need to just do less, but daily, and I've kept that up for over six weeks with steady improvement and less impatience... the running, last year I was trying to run every day, but I felt so tired by the end of the week... so after that I tried every 3-4 days and was not able to maintain it steadily... well, trial and error, I eventually realized that my problem was I was running till I was totally exhausted and needed a long break. So I just started running every day, but not to the point of exhaustion... I have gotten stronger, not more exhausted, over the last week.

Getting more out of life is a topic that can relate to everybody and narrowing it down in this article to formulating time to excercise is very relavent to any strong health pursuing human. Look forward to reading more of your articles, keep up the good work. Cheers, Justin Hey Scott,

Sometimes once I've started intending to only do 10 mins I'll continue and complete a half hour workout just because I actually started. When we think of 30 mins exercise the mind can balk at it however if we trick it by telling ourselves we're only going to do 10 mins often we'll end up doing more.

I don't exercise daily, but over the course of a year I'd exercise 4 days a week average easy. They key's starting out slow, progressing to a stage where you're pushing yourself. I have to dissagree.

That says it all - and how true, at least for me. I teach martial arts, and have been sharing this lesson with my students. Finding a way to take at least some small action daily towards reaching your goal, will get you there. Thanks for making me look/sound good! “In my failed attempts, one of the most important lessons I learned is that if you want a habit to stick, it needs to be daily.”

I fogot about your blog shortly after my fianls finished but now I've discovered this article again purely by accidental internet search. I like how you've tied many aspects of your life into some core, key concepts. Another advantage I see is that these principles can be applied to any exercise routine. I've currently using a weight free workout system, and teaching other people to apply these methods would most definitely help people stick to the program.
