Welcome back to another episode of the talk. Today we are talking all about making exercise a habit.

So what is a habit? A habit is an automatic behavior that you do not have to think about. So, for example, when you brush your teeth, you probably don't have to argue with yourself for too long, being like, should I? Should I? Should I not? I? I don't want It's so lazy. You have to get up. Oh, to brush, oh, to put the toothpaste. So you just brush

your teeth, right? It's not something you have to, like, be very cognizant of. But isn't part of it also

that, like, I know when I haven't brushed my teeth, because it just feels looky, right? I mean, if I don't brush my teeth first thing in the morning, I don't want to

go down and start talking to my

family. Please don't. Right.

So there is a little bit of feedback.

Yeah, there is. But even, like, for example,

putting on your seatbelt, you probably just do it automatically when you go

into the car. So part of the habit loop is that

there's a cue that triggers the habit.

And then you execute on the habit, right?

So it's like this loop that happens.

And with brushing your teeth, like oftentimes the cue is that it's nighttime we're going to bed.

We always brush our teeth or we wake up in the morning.

We always brush our teeth.

We go into the car.

We put on our seatbelt. And the fastest way to get a behavior to be consistent, which is our goal for exercise, right?

That it's consistent.

You don't have to think about it, is to make it a habit.

So how can we do this?

There's a couple things to think about.
