Habit Gym

Habits are hard to quit, especially when the habit is something that is bad, and usually it is something that is so good at the same time?

You know what I mean, chocolate, alcohol, laziness, even what you eat for breakfast. We all habitual actions that we often feel a bit embarrassed by, such as buying a bar of chocolate and a can of Coke every time you go to the gas station to fill up the car & that used for one of my worst habits, I knew it was not good for me, but I could not just t he quit. It was as if I was on autopilot.

When you get home from work, do you immediately sit on the couch and turn on the TV instead of your workout?

Are you going on a Friday and Saturday night, just because it's the weekend, then the rest of the weekend in bed regretting your excess?

One of the problems I encounter as a professional fitness is to get my customers to change what they eat, so it compliments their training efforts. A common way to hang up on breakfast, get them to stop eating cereal for breakfast function is like putting a bit of heroin through Turkey cold!

The problem is our bad habits can cause us a myriad of health problems, such as weight gain, obesity, type 2 diabetes, a weak immune system, structural and poor health. This causes much misery.

Brain researchers at MIT in the U.S. have discovered that once the poor habit is established, certain models of neurons are created in the brain that ingrain the habit of becoming almost entirely automatic. We just don t even think about the action we have just done. These models can be erased as easily as they are created in the first place, but the models can be enhanced to a much faster next time.

Obvious stuff really, when you think how many people fall into the habit of smoking or poor eating habits.

Breaking habits can be difficult though. The fear of social alienation, if you stop smoking (where you find the office gossip, if you're not smoking with your colleagues!). Do not go out on Friday night may cause a similar fear. Not having that glass of wine to your dinner every night, it has become so ingrained that you feel uncomfortable if water is available.

Fortunately, there are solutions to these problems, and it is not just down to willpower. Reason of failure is simply a matter of becoming more aware of every action you take. A simple example:

Do you drive the same route to work every day? I bet on many days, the commute does not even register, it's just like you're on autopilot. You have no idea how many cars you cut, or even if you told the right time, or even reported at all!

Breaking this habit is a simple act of deciding to take a different route to work. In fact, I have about 5 different ways to get to the gym regularly and go away from my path just for breaking the monotony of work.

For the more serious question of supply and consumption patterns, just make a habit of stopping just before you eat something and make judgments about the quality of the item you are about to eat or drink. I use a 3 point category A, the food type B or C.

A s are your good pure foods like fresh fruit and vegetables, meats, fish and water as well as some items like eggs too log. s B are not so good, a minimally processed, including bread, pasta, cereal-based products are C s really bad foods, including soft drinks, highly processed foods that are high in sugar as cakes, and all junk food like chips, burgers, pizzas, etc.

This simple process makes me more aware of my food choices, allow me to do.
