RE: Fat Down, Money Up (Resolution Report #1)
Well, I think you are doing very well. I say that because (a) you are sticking to something and (b) putting your progress out there in the open. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it takes something on the order of 25 days to change a habit. So if you consider this a long term program, you're well on track!
25 days? That’s good to know. Continuing into and through February I expect to be difficult. I can already feel this blog helping. Just sitting down and writing this today made me realize how important including people in my goals and reporting my progress to them is. Thanks for the support!
It takes 21 days to change a habit but a habit is just an unconscious way of doing work.
So you’re training your body to do the work for you, is that it? I’m finding that all of this effort is putting the practice of exercise at the forefront of my awareness, which make it harder to brush aside and easier to continue with. Well, continuing is still difficult, but I can sort of see it getting easier as time goes on.
Training your body to do the work is muscle memory. Although you obviously need it but still what I'm trying to emphasise is try paying attention to the technique or rather form and breathing while you perform your reps. Otherwise, lack of attention may lead to poor form and that could ( I don't want you to get injured ) but still you could get injured. And yeah, practice makes perfect.
Without working with a trainer it’s hard to tell if my form is good or bad. I am trying to keep what seems like good form to me. I can’t focus on reps yet. I’m just getting through each minute consistently. That in itself is enough to get me breathing hard and elevate my heart rate.
Lol. Put do it slowly then. Otherwise, you'll get injured.
