Discover Proven Strategies to Finally Get in Shape and Exercise on a Regular Basis for the Rest of Your Life

Everywhere you go, you see gyms, videos, and books about exercise, advertising how they can help you get in shape fast and easy. You've probably even put some money down before, vowing that this was the year you'd get in shape, lose that extra weight, and become the energetic person you know is hiding inside you.

Unfortunately, life happens, and you fall into the habit of "I'll start tomorrow". Your motivation drops, and your self-discipline fails to push you through to achieve your goals. You begin to make excuses: You'll be really sore after working out, it's been too long since you've last exercised, you don't have willpower, and you think you're too weak or otherwise unfit for exercise. There was that one time you started a program, but you couldn't keep up with the weekly or monthly goals, so you got frustrated and gave up.

How to Build Self-Discipline to Exercise is a practical guidebook on how to introduce exercise into your life and keep it there. In this audiobook, you'll learn:

• Why the most common type of motivation people use to exercise is usually ineffective
• How to overcome procrastination and finally start exercising
• How to find time to exercise despite a hectic schedule (and surprising math that shows you actually lose time when you don't make time for exercise)
• Practical tricks and tips to stay motivated forever
• How to enjoy exercise while still getting the most powerful benefits of it (hint: if your workout involves "work", it's not a good workout)

When put together and acted upon, the six chapters in this book - supported by over 80 references to scientific studies and credible experts - will help you form a new habit and make one of the most important changes you'll ever make in your life.

Out of Touch

This book could be useful if you're wealthy. It's value is limited if you are struggling to make ends meet because the author assumes it's not a huge burden to do things like hire house cleaners, and spend multiple hours working out each weekend. This probably works for the primary audience, but it is so out of touch with many people's lives that I found it off-putting.

Disappointing

The title really got me excited to read this book but as I listened it did not do what the title made me believe. The narration was awful and that element is very important in a motivational self help book.

Awesome!

Great read here! Iam looking to read the rest of the series the author has available.

I loved it

I really like the way the author delivers lots of advice not only to create a long lasting habit of exercise, but actually to enjoy and prevent injuries.

I have read a couple of books by Martin Meadows and he always delivers more than expected: lots of advice on how to live a better life and also his personal experience which makes his advice even more enjoyable and practical to a daily strenuous life.

My review

Chock full of tips and tricks begin and maintain an exercise program. I enjoyed the practical and applicable suggestions in each section of the book. I would recommend this book for those seeking or maintaining an exercise/fitness regimen.

Good questions and information

A realistic approach to identifying one's obstacles in their behavior. Encouraging, but not coddling like so many other self-help books.

Good read.

surprisingly good advice. not the same excercise advice I've read over and over in the past.

enlightening I guess

not as moving as I thought it would be, but I see what he is trying to make me feel. but it didnt grab me and push me to do what I wanted.

Good info

Good practical tips to use. Narration is somewhat dry, doesn't take away from the info though.

easy to listen to

good book. good delivery. having listened to a few audio books, i would have preferred a different voice but that's personal.

I'd recommend this book
