Working out is crucial for overall health and weight loss. Pretty much every single overweight person has tried working out on one occasion or another. The problem is, most people end their workout regiment before a month has gone by.
There are many reasons that people cannot stay committed to their workout regiments:
- Many, workout so hard that they really start to hate it.
- Many, don’t like how they are working out, but fail to find a better way.
- Many, just forget to workout after a trip or vacation
- Many enjoy initial success, achieve their goal, and then get lazy
- and many other reasons
So, why are some people able to stay committed and motivated to working out or getting some sort of exercise? Well, as the post title says; “slow and steady wins the race”. The slow and steady people, are those who are able to get some amount of exercise every day. Exercise doesn’t have to be running three miles until you are almost dead, and hating every single minute of it. Exercise, needs to be something you enjoy. Or else you will fail to stay committed to getting your daily exercise. When deciding how you are going to work out / exercise; ask yourself “will I be able to do this every day for the rest of my life?” If the answer is yes, you will succeed. It is as simple as that.
So, how can one enjoy exercise? Quite easily actually. I exercise every day, and I enjoy it too. I have been playing basketball all my life, and to this day I still play every day. Rain or shine, I always get a workout from playing basketball; and I enjoy it too. The best way to get daily exercise is to take part in a fun activity / sport which involves some sort of movement. You may not end up burning as many calories as if you had ran three miles. But, the person who tries working out by doing something he or she hates, will never succeed and will give up working out eventually. So you may not get as much exercise every day, but the important thing is that you get some sort of exercise 365 days a year. Follow this advice, and pretty soon you will learn why “slow and steady” always wins the “never ending weight loss marathon”.

We all must first learn to crawl before we can walk… or run!
Baby step… baby steps.
The slower it comes off … the longer it stays off.

How True! For years I have been utilizing what I call the K.I.S.S. & D.I.G.S. (Do It Gradually Stupid) approach with my Triune Non-Diet.
“Crashing” into a new habit only leads to frustration for neophytes. Go slow & gradual and be patient.
Best, Dr. Dave Robinson
