How Matt Got In Shape
Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress (the platform I’m writing this blog from) “committed to one push-up before bed. Yes, just one push-up. Said he, ‘No matter how late you’re running, no matter what’s going on in the world, you can’t argue against doing one push-up. Come on. There’s no excuse. I often find I just need to get over that initial hump with something that’s almost embarrassingly small as a goal, and then that can become a habit.’ ”1
One way BJ Fogg got in shape; he did two pushups after he peed.2
Gandalf the Grey had this to say, “Saruman believes it is only great power [intense workouts] that can hold evil [poor health] in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds [consistent, small health habits] of ordinary folk that keep the darkness [creeping chronic disease] at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.”3
“[B]y small and simple things are great things brought to pass…”4
It will require humility. Living in our age of sport and sometimes fierce competition you may feel the need to go big or go home. Not true!
Take It From These Pros:
Start small and be consistent. You can do it.
