It turns out football players work out, and that is somehow related to how big and strong they are. \u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Somewhere, sometime, we each have to figure out a way to get some exercise. This is likely even more important than all the stuff we do around eating. An offense week isn\u2019t all about healthy eating\u2014it\u2019s also about getting as much exercise as possible. And a defense week is very much about keeping up the exercise routine, even if you\u2019re not hitting the exercise quite as hard as you would on an offense week.<\/p>\n
The three keys to regular exercise:<\/p>\n
I have an old stationary bike that I found out by the street one day. It\u2019s so old it doesn\u2019t even plug into anything. But I\u2019ve set up a music stand in front of it to hold my iPad, and I watch TV shows while I ride\u2014ideally TV shows with chase scenes to help me pedal faster.<\/p>\n
I ride the stationary bike every morning after breakfast. It\u2019s in my bedroom. My bike shoes are right next to it. I don\u2019t need to go anywhere, pay anything, or think. It\u2019s easy, and it gives me an excuse to watch stupid TV shows without actually wasting time. I pick shows that run about 45 minutes.<\/p>\n
On defense weeks, I ride 5 days a week. On offense weeks, I ride every day, and if I\u2019m really pushing it, I\u2019ll ride once in the morning and once in the evening, and I might watch longer TV shows to extend the ride. This is a lot, and I\u2019m not saying you need to do what I do. But I am saying you\u2019ll greatly increase your change of success if you make it easy for yourself to do somethine you enjoy at the same time every day. First establish the basic routine, then boost it when you\u2019re on offense.<\/p>\n
