Does having more sex make couples happier?
But people paid a lot of money. That home gym equipment is not cheap. So at one point, they were pretty motivated, and then it just kind of evaporates.
It's sort of like committing to going to the gym five days a week. It's a really big step. And so I do think that for many people, it's like, well, the gesture of a big investment is perhaps being confused with how big your motivation is to pick up that particular mode of exercise. So knowing yourself a little bit more here is gonna be a little bit more helpful.
So yes, you had the big intention, but maybe there wasn't as much thought going into the steps behind wanting to move more. So again, identifying your values, asking yourself what types of physical activity do you actually enjoy? Many people love going to the gym, like it's a great sense of community.
That works for a lot of people, but if it doesn't work for you and if it's never really worked for you, maybe it's not that mode of exercise, maybe the reason the treadmill or the you know, the bike that you have in your house isn't motivating you because it's hard for you to choose movement within your house.
And so maybe it's better if you actually go to a place that has those pieces of equipment because maybe you're easily distracted in your home space. And so you need to rethink your approach in this case.
I wonder, too, how many people give up because they think they're not doing enough. You know, if I go for a walk around the block after dinner, that's not really doing much, so I'm not going to try. And it probably isn't doing that much, but is it better than nothing, or is it nothing?
It's absolutely better than nothing. So all movement counts. We just want to make sure that over time, doesn't have to be over the course of a day, but maybe over the course of a week or two, that you're thinking of all the different ways that your body needs you to move and try to blend them again through the different domains of your life.
And as quickly as you can, what are all the ways my body needs to move?
Well, all of your joints, cycling through regular joint range of motion.
