Tricking Your Brain into Loving Movement: A Psychologist's Approach to Exercise (True Crime is involved!)

Exercise doesn't have to be difficult or boring when you approach it with the right mindset. A psychologist shares practical strategies for incorporating movement into daily life, focusing on mental shifts rather than complex routines.

• The best exercise is the one you'll actually do
• Motivation often comes after action, not before
• Keep exercise clothes and shoes readily available for spontaneous activity
• Ask "when will I exercise?" instead of "if I will exercise" 
• Use walks as transition time between work and personal life
• Create special incentives like podcast-listening only during exercise
• Focus on being "the boss of your brain" rather than relying on motivation
• Consult with your doctor about appropriate exercise targets for your health

Take care and remember to pause and take a deep breath.
