Dr. Mark Hyman

I have a friend, Mike Roizen, who was at Cleveland Clinic with me, and he used to have a treadmill desk

He was on calls and working and working on his computer and walking all day long, which is impressive.

Make your leisure time active time.

So if you're watching TV or movie, maybe put a stationary bike in your house.

I remember I worked in Idaho as a family doc, and there was this patient that came in.

And she lost like 100 pounds.

I'm like, what happened to you?

And she's like, well, I decided instead of sitting in front of the TV and eating all day, I would get a stationary bike and just ride the bike all day instead of eating.

She did.

And she lost 100 pounds.

So pretty impressive.

Maybe also you can listen to podcasts and an audio book or do something like that when you're exercising or taking a walk and just

makes it more fun and motivating.

And also do it with somebody else.

As my friend Rick Warren said, everybody needs a buddy.

So it's important that if you maybe are having some trouble getting out there and doing stuff, find somebody else to do it with.

It's much more fun for me to play tennis with somebody else or play basketball or

go on a bike with somebody else and do it by myself.

So I try to do it with friends.

And it's way more fun.
