With the mind-body connection in mind, which I consider inseparable, I'd like to suggest two practical fitness tips based on social psychology and personal experience:
– Use a step counter app (try this one or that one, both are supposed to have a free version). For more advanced users, consider buying a smartwatch or smart ring like I did. It can cost as little as $34 and is worth the investment. In my experience, it not only encouraged me to take more steps but also gave me a "winner effect." This means that a person who starts winning for any reason tends to keep winning. I didn't only change my behavior; I also reframed what I would have seen as time-wasting chores as winning by counting steps. This mindset made my working day more productive.
– Invest in dumbbells or TRX equipment. I use dumbbells as they're the simplest way for me to do strength training. It will save you the psychological friction. There's no need to sign up for a gym, change clothes, travel there, or do enough exercise to justify the whole process. Just place them somewhere visible at eye level and commit to doing 12 reps whenever you see them. It's a bite-sized approach.
