Exercise always sounds like a good idea in theory but when it comes round to it you can quickly find a million other things you’d rather be doing including any number of sofa based activities that suddenly seem more pressing. And let’s face it, you can always start exercising tomorrow can’t you?
You’re lazy or you procrastinate or you just don’t have the time or the energy or the inclination and whenever you do give it some passing thought, if you’re honest, you don’t know really where to start.
Well, don’t feel bad, it’s not something many people admit but definitely something you share with millions of others (possibly billions). In fact if lifestyle surveys are to be believed you might even make up the majority of the adult population..
In this book what I hope to outline is the absolute minimum level of activity you can engage in and still enjoy the benefits of exercise. I’m also hopeful that once you get started you might want to go beyond the bare minimum, but one step at a time.
In support of this endeavour I’ll show you how to get started and give you some tools for monitoring your activity, measuring success and overcoming the motivational problem faced by most people - that exercise is too hard.
Doing nothing won’t work but if you are going to do something let’s at least make it as painless as possible.
