slowly and consistently

I heard this the other day and I can’t stop thinking about it.

The best way to get in shape is the same way that you got out of shape; slowly and consistently.

It’s not one meal, or two meals or probably even ten meals that lead to someone being overweight. It’s consistently overeating for a long period of time. It can feel like it creeps up on you, but in fact it happens slowly.

When starting back up at the gym, or with a diet, or a new routine, people tend to bite off more than they can chew.

Instead of taking a slow, long-term approach, they go burn-it-down monk mode before fizzling out after a week or two.

There is no shortcut.

Get back into shape slowly and consistently, the same way you got out of shape.
