Overcome Fitness Hurdles, Like What’s In Your Head

This week I’m talking about your fitness and how to overcome the things that are stopping you from starting. The things you should start in order to stop stopping!

First of all, look at those people running their tri-athalon iron flipping whatevers up mountains and swimming the English Channel only to bike around the Earth six times. That’s just ridiculous, A, and B there is no way to get to that level of fitness!

With your schedule? Your commitments? It’s not happening.

Here’s the good news. The difference between you and them is actually very small. The biggest impact of movement is NOT when you’re leaping tall building in a single bound, it’s during the first 30 minutes of activity.

As you go from 30 minutes to an hour, there is additional improvement but it’s much less. Likewise as you go from 60 to 90 minutes, the improvement is even less. Get the picture? Moving a little is great, moving a lot is only a LITTLE bit better.

So if you want to run marathons because you love it, do that. But you SURE don’t have to to get to a fitness level that is good for your heart, your weight, and your brain.
