7 ways to trick the brain to exercise

If the problem is not "don't know how to exercise," but "know but don't get up," the way it works is to trick the brain into thinking it's so easy that it's undeniable.

1. 2-minute rule

Don't tell yourself, "One hour of exercise is required."

Change to

* Put on shoes

* Walk out of the house

* Make 10 squats

Just start two minutes. Most of the time, I'll do it myself.

2. Do not think

When it's time to exercise, get up in five seconds.

Count in mind

5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Get up

The longer you think, the brain will reason to postpone.

3. Prepare everything in advance.

* Place the exercise kit at the end of the bed.

* Put your shoes in front of the door

* Get your headphones ready

Minimize the steps.

4. Use the "just one day" technique.

Do not think that will do for life

Tell yourself that.

"Today, one day."

Tomorrow, say again

5. Reward yourself

Such as

* 20 Minute Exercise = Can watch 1 episode of the series

* Walk 5,000 steps = Eat your favorite

The brain likes rewards more than discipline.

6. Turn on the music that makes the music first.

The fast-paced music stimulates dopamine, making it easier to get up.

7. Do not aim too high.

❌ Run 10 km.

✅ 10-minute walk

If it were easy, you would do more continuously.

A very helpful sentence is

"Don't be motivated to do it, just start doing it, and motivation will follow."

Tonight, let's aim for 10 minutes of exercise, not more, and see if you want to stop after 10 minutes. 😊
