This morning, my alarm clock went off at precisely 6:00 a.m.
Within a couple of minutes, I was off my bed and had my running gear on: Running shoes, a t-shirt, and my favorite workout shorts. Then at exactly 6:15, I was out of the door, and within a few minutes, I started warming up for my run.
Today was a Thursday, so according to my training schedule, it’s tempo run day. Tomorrow, I will be waking up at the same time, but with a different goal in mind. I am gonna be doing a Yoga Workout, and later in the afternoon I will be hitting the gym for a CrossFit WOD (I prefer going to the gym in the evening for “productivity” reasons).
This is my exercise schedule, and for me, most of this is on autopilot. I don’t even have to think about it anymore.
No resistance.
No self-forcing.
No teeth-grinding.
And no putting off things for tomorrow.
In fact, nowadays, although my workout schedule looks full, it requires me almost no willpower for sticking with the routine. It just happens on its own.
Of course, every now and then I can be a bit off course, but it’s just a part of life, but I always come back stronger.
A very Common Struggle
I’m well aware that forming an exercise habit isn’t the easiest thing for most people, and most folks’ experience consists of starting a healthy habit—whether it’s running, eating clean, reading, or just spending less time on social media—and stopping, then re-starting again, stopping, then doing it all over again.
Nevertheless, with what I’m about to share with you today, you are going to learn how to break that endless cycle and turn your running, or any other workout routine, into a lifelong habit.
