“Zooming in” in on the stuff you really want to accomplish makes all the difference.
Ask most people why they are exercising and they will usually say “I just want to be fit and healthy”.
Drill down under that, and you will see a lot more.
Deeper reasons are more like “I want to help my blood pressure out after the doctor told me exercising would reduce my chances of getting a stroke”,
“I have put on 2 stone this year, and I’ve never felt so bad, it’s got to go and my clothes need to fit again and my energy needs to come back!”.
“My balance is terrible and I’ve had a couple of falls, it’s stopping me doing so many things in life I used to do, I need to improve it urgently”.
“My mental health is struggling big time, I feel low most of the time and it’s destroying my life, and I know exercise will help me feel better, and I need help get out of this big rut I am in”.
Everyone has got their own reason for exercising, and it will always make you stick to it more if you focus on the most important reason that is so special to YOU.
