Michelle Segar suggests that we need to redefine what we consider as exercise. It doesn't have to be a grueling gym session. It can be any physical activity that you enjoy, like dancing, gardening, or even walking your dog. This new perspective can make exercise more enjoyable and sustainable.
Segar emphasizes the importance of focusing on immediate rewards of exercise, like feeling more energized or relaxed, rather than long-term goals like weight loss. This can help you stay motivated and make exercise a regular part of your life.
In No Sweat, Segar encourages readers to make exercise a priority. She suggests scheduling it like any other important appointment. This can help ensure that you don't skip it even when life gets busy.
Segar advises adopting a self-care mindset towards exercise. See it as a way to take care of your physical and mental health, rather than a chore or something you 'should' do. This can make exercise feel more positive and rewarding.
No Sweat encourages readers to personalize their fitness routine. Segar believes that when you choose activities you enjoy and that fit into your lifestyle, you're more likely to stick with them. So, explore different activities and find what works best for you.
