Imagine that you had an hour planned for lunch.

 

A few things came in late morning and by the time you could stop, you only had 20 minutes.

 

What would you do?

 

Eat your lunch quickly I would guess.

 

Or substitute the original plan for a “not so good, but fine” option (Partridge quote for bonus ninja points there).

 

Rather than going to the cafe with friends, you might just grab a meal deal, for example.

 

Would you say “I’m not going to bother eating – it’s not worth it”?

 

I wouldn’t have thought so.

 

Be a little odd, wouldn’t it?

 

But we’re easily tempted to do the same with our exercise.

 

Planned to do an hour in the gym?

 

But leave work a little late?

 

And think “It’s not worth doing twenty minutes”?

 

Or had a session at RISE in the plan (way better than an hour at the gym, and way more fun too – check myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting if you like the sound of that)?

 

And can’t make it but could do a 10 minute home workout after the kids have gone to bed and decide that’s not worth it?

 

Plan to run 5 miles and only have time for 1 and think that’s not worth it?

 

Any exercise is better than no exercise.

 

Especially, if it helps keep you ‘in the habit’.

 

Imagine having never to ‘start again’.

 

Slowing down and speeding up as circumstance dictates, sure.

 

But never stopping because of some made up definition of what is or isn’t worth doing?

 

That’s the mindset that gets lasting results.

 

Much love,
