Add to Subtract

Gyms are so good at helping people make changes in their life is because it’s a new thing to add in.

You need to commute to the gym, be there for an hour and commute back to home or work or wherever. You can’t fake it. You have to carve out that time and actually show up.

Health and fitness often emphasizes subtraction. Take diets for example, they often eliminate something that is deemed “bad.” Cut this thing out, stop doing this, no more of this type of food. The restriction and focus on what you can’t do makes compliance difficult.

If you’re having trouble getting to the gym, remember, once you add this habit in, other good habits are going to fall in place and you’ll subtract bad habits with the addition of your new one.
