Summary

In day two of our daily episode series, we’re discussing the importance of consistency. In the New Year, it can be tempting to make big goals and come out blazing, but our real goal is to make exercise a habit for the rest of our lives. We discuss the importance of consistency over intensity, how to plan for setbacks, and using the power of habits and routines.

Check out our episode on habit formation.

0:00.0	Welcome back to day two of our daily series, 31 Days, to Your Exercise Habit.
0:06.0	Today, what are we talking about?
0:08.2	We're going to continue the theme of consistency.
0:11.4	I guess we're being consistent.
0:13.3	Oh!
0:15.5	Yeah!
0:17.6	But do.
0:18.7	Give us some music.
0:20.1	Give us some dress.
0:38.7	We need a band. We need a band We need a band in the studio That plays us out And does a picture We just at food We need to talk.com If you have a band If you have a tiny tiny band That can fit into like Six feet Or if you just want to send this music Oh that too, that too so eddie can i tell you a quick story about consistency absolutely okay so one time i was watching a youtube video and this
0:45.3	girl broke her wrist so she couldn't work out right and she was saying how she wasn't stressed
0:51.0	at all about it and when i get an injury i get so worried i'm like I'm like, oh, my God, I'm going to miss three weeks.
0:56.1	Oh, God, the world is over, whatever.

1:31.8	sustainable because if you're doing it for one week or one month or even six months,
1:35.8	it's not really a successful exercise habit. But I'll just add one little caveat. If you're
1:41.9	training for a marathon, you don't want to do that consistently. Oh my God. Yes. If you're training for a specific event, we talked about this with Ben Bergeron. Like, if it's an event, guys, no, don't do that for the most of your life. But the overall habit, it's a little bit like, well, you're probably planning on eating every day for the rest of your lives. Yeah. We'll throw in a few fast days if you want, separate topic.
2:02.7	Yeah.
