Do you want to be healthier, but you lack willpower? Lots of books can teach you physical fitness, but you will not find one like this that is totally focused on the psychology of "how to make yourself exercise." Information on fitness is useless unless you actually make yourself get out the door and be physical. My purpose is to make you an exerciser. To make you more physically fit is a bonus." James Rosen, Ph.D. Psychologist Dr. James Rosen is known for his research and therapy with people who need to behave heathier. Hundreds of followers of his program have proven that exercise can be a big part of life if you learn certain self-control skills. You too can gradually increase exercise to the point that it's no longer a struggle and you truly like to exercise a lot. You learn: 1. How to kick-start your habit by gradually exercising longer and more often. You don't worry about how good the exercise is until later. 2. How to motivate yourself with an exercise record and self-reward. 3. How to make some normal activities wait until you exercised - to prioritize exercise. 4. How to drop some of your inactive free time and sit less - the other side of exercising more. 5. How to eliminate negative self-talk and have a good attitude about exercise. 6. How to help people support your exercise. How to deal with people who sabotage exercise. 7. How to be less fearful or negative about exercise. And be more adventurous and open to exercise challenges. 8. How to step up your exercise habit by adding new types of physical activity and exercise intensity. 9. How to hit goals above the minimum exercise set by the government. A strong habit and good health need a lot of exercise time. 10. How to not let a temporary slip make you give up exercise. People are born to work and play hard physically. But exercise is not a natural behavior anymore. Hard physical work is disappearing and too much free time is physically inactive. Fewer people exercise and more people think it's okay to spend a lot of time sitting and being inactive. It's not our fault that the environment is against exercise. But it's up us to take control and beat the obstacles. "How To Make Yourself Exercise" teaches the exercise motivation that you need.
