How I Managed to Exercise for (Almost) One Month
It all started with a guy showing off his 50-day streak of pushing-ups with James Clear’s Habit TrackerI then bought James Clear’s Atomic Habits. The book is so actionable that you can take it as a manual reference for building habits. Highly recommended..
I was a bit motivated and would like to go to the gym. But they were closed due to the virus.
So I just started with what I had.
The workout was light. They were just pushing-ups, leg-lifting, abs, etc.I referred to this video. Once I finished, I would toss a coin into the Exercise cup. If I skipped it, the coin would go to the other one.
Result
In the preceding days, I nailed 27 out of 32. For the other 5, they were never consequent, as James Clear suggests not skip in a row.
Summary
- You don’t need gyms to exercise.
- Trying the habit tracker would be the most brilliant decision you’ve ever made.
- This quarantine is an opportunity for building habits. Every day is identical and there is no foreign disturbance.
Grab the chance and build habits.
