Start Moving: Debunking the Myth of Weight Loss as the Ultimate Motivator

This episode is all about motivation, your why for making changes in your life.

Specifically, the motivation to move more.

Here’s what we will talk about…

Why weight loss and better health are very poor motivators to adding more movement to your day.

How human beings are hardwired to choose immediate gratification over long-term goals.

What is good motivation to move? Goals that provide immediate gratification are great motivation such as improved mood, increased energy levels, stress relief, and to feel better.

Why adding movement and exercise to your day has to be your idea.

How you can make it easier to choose to move:

• Move in a way you like to move. Choose forms of exercise that genuinely appeal to you, making it a personal and enjoyable journey.
• Choose your why or motivation that means something to you and gives immediate gratification.
• Do it for yourself and own your movement.
• When you are done moving enjoy the positive, immediate results of your efforts.
