Don’t fall into the all-or-nothing mindset
If you want to start a new fitness routine you have to take into consideration that every small step will lead to your goal in the long run. Repetitive activities, even short-term ones, lead to progress.
“It’s easy to fall into the all-or-nothing mindset when it comes to fitness, but the truth is that the benefits you reap from moving your body are cumulative,” said Logan Jones, a Manhattan-based psychologist and founder of NYC THERAPY + WELLNESS and Clarity Therapy Online. “The work you do will have a positive impact on your health and level of fitness over time, regardless of how short each session may seem.”
