Strong At Every Age: 15 Habits To Level Up Your Health & Fitness

Not every increase in health and fitness needs to look like a training montage from the “Rocky” movies!

Making progress every day

We’ll not keep the 15 habits a secret; they are:

1. Follow the one-minute rule: commit to just one minute of action—this makes starting easier, and often you’ll end up doing more once you’ve got started.
2. Make the habit exciting: add fun elements to make the habit more enjoyable, like using new gear or accessories.
3. Do it first: prioritize new habits by doing them early in the day to ensure they get done.
4. Share the love: pair new habits with activities you already enjoy, where practical, to do “temptation bundling”.
5. Embrace the uncomfortable: get used to discomfort daily to grow and build resilience for bigger changes.
6. Do as little as possible: start small with habits, to minimize resistance and focus on consistency.
7. Think how to be lazy: simplify processes and use shortcuts; there are no extra prizes for it having been difficult!
8. Make the appointment: schedule habits with set dates and times, to increase accountability.
9. Let habits evolve: adapt habits to fit current circumstances; that way you can still stay consistent over time.
10. Plan ahead: prepare in advance to avoid setbacks—what could stop you from succeeding, and how can you pre-empt that?
11. Pause to reflect: regularly evaluate what works and what doesn’t, to adjust and improve.
12. Shut off your brain: avoid overthinking and start taking action now, not later, to build momentum.
13. Question and learn: stay curious and open to learning, or else you will plateau quickly!
14. Ask why: understand the deeper reasons behind any resistance, and make clear for yourself the value of the habit.
15. Love your failures: embrace any setbacks as learning opportunities and, as such, stepping stones to success.
