Action

Fitness and exercise can feel like too big a challenge, so let’s just push to become more active and get fit. That can mean adding in a simple stretch or a walk around the block. Any movement is better than no movement.

If you’re not fit, then you don’t need any high-pressure labels. So, let’s simply take ‘action’ by being ‘active’ in some way, every day.

Analyze

If you are not fit, you will not need any high-pressure stickers. So, let's simply take 'action' by 'activity' somehow every day.

Look at your schedule and see where there is time to work. Don't you think you have two hours to get to the gym, change, work, change and go home again? Fine. Let's initiate small. Can you find a minute before breakfast or two minutes after work?

Look at your schedule and see where there is time for action. You don’t think you have two hours to get to the gym, change, work out, change and get home again? Fine. Let’s start small. Can you find a minute before breakfast or two minutes after work?

Just as you won't begin climbing the mountain too fast, you can easily start working. Look for a few minutes and use it to stretch. Getting to the ceiling or gently turning your neck and enjoying the feeling. Over time, try to build from two minutes of work to five minutes.

Responsibility

You know that you need to exercise. I know you have to exercise. Add it to your daily to-do list and do active every day.

If you stretched before breakfast for a minute, write it down. If you walked to the end of the street, write it down. You're more likely to exercise if you're holding yourself accountable, and after five days you'll have at least five minutes of exercise to show.

You may not be at the top of the mountain yet, but you can see that you started!

The same

According to me, my deteriorating level of fitness was connected with a busy and tense lifestyle. This taught me that it's good to have time to breathe.

Now, take a deep breath and feel your chest swell. Now breathe slowly. Try to push all the air out of your lungs.

Mindful breathing can assist us emphasis, so find something you do every day and use it as a reminder to enjoy some relaxation and deep breathing. You might decide to breathe deeply while waiting for the coffee to brew or as you water your plants. I do it after the kids clamber out of the car for school and I have a moment before driving away and tackling the next part of my day.

You won’t get far up that mountain if you don’t take time to breathe and evaluate your progress.

Break

Take a break. We’re all busy, and it feels like we just don’t have any time, but are you sure you can’t squeeze in a five-minute break from what you’re doing? Hard as it might be to believe, your productivity may go up if you step away for a moment. A break to walk from one side of the room to the other or to step outside can help you refocus while adding vital action moments to your day.

If you do take a moment to walk around your place of work, then don’t forget to write it down

Balance

You’re more likely to stick with your daily actions if you can find a way to balance your new activities with your daily needs. You still need to do your chores, keep up your social circle and all the other things that make up your day-to-day life. No one wants to be boring, so find the right life balance. That means you need to add more action than you were doing, but don’t go over the top and become so active that it’s unsustainable.

To get all up to this mountain of fitness, you need to speed yourself up.

They change

The change will only happen if you do so. We can all hope, hope and dream, but we will only achieve our fitness if we take a first action step.

You have to be honest with yourself every day. If a day goes by and you don't have a moment to work, understand that you are not climbing a mountain. You stand still or even roll down.

social communication

Use your community to help you rebuild and fitness. Your family, friends and co-workers can aid you keep up with working moments and they may want to join you while climbing the mountain steadily. You are probably not the only one who knows he wants to be fit. Tell everyone what you are trying to do, and your friends will encourage you. They’re likely to be proud of you for actively taking back control.

Climbing that mountain is easier if you aren’t struggling up alone.

Commit

None of the ABC codes will assist you if you don't commit to take action. I hope you feel excited. Use this feeling now: move your body in a way, stretch your arms, take a deep breath, and point your toes. If you feel really motivated, do a little wobbly feel and smile!

Now that you've started, stick to taking a few more steps over the mountain every day. Very soon you will look back to see how far you have climbed.
