Assessment: What I Learned from Blogging About Exercise

• It is fun to write about exercise.

• Taking the time to write about exercise has not increased the amount of time I spend in actually doing exercise.

• Writing about motivating myself to make exercising a new habit has not yet produced in me any additional motivation to exercise more often or more intensely. I realize that I may not have given this experiment enough time.

• I have long suspected that all it takes to develop a habit of exercise is a change in attitude.

• I have a gut feeling that it would be a good use of my creative energies to work on solving the logistics of making my house an environment more conducive to the practice of exercising.

• I believe that my gut is wrong. Rather than continuing to do any mental work at all about the business of exercise, or any preparation for exercising whatsoever, whenever I get the urge to do so in the future, I should simply stand up and start doing jumping jacks.

• From now on, I will wake up every day with a view that my house is a welcoming place for anyone whose intent it is to move the body in a healthy way.

• If I decide to take no further action in maintaining this blog, please view it as a good thing. If I am not writing here, it is because I am actually exercising. I invite you to do the same.
