Ninety minutes can create a lifetime of change. Cue. Routine. Reward. Check it out. That is how we develop dynamite habits. We become what we habitually do.
You have good habits. You are healthy.
You don't and you aren't.
Our theme this morning was on change. Again. Out of the 250 or so spin classes that I had the pleasure of conducting this year, change was present in every one. Some BIG change, some fair-to-middlin change and some tiny change.
But we showed up, turned the pedals and did the best we could.
We just did it.
And today, with a minuscule two days left in the year, we have brought about the 2012 change we desired. Or perhaps not.
Maybe there is a ways to go yet. Maybe we are just getting started. Maybe this is base building. Maybe it is about things other than fitness and good health. Either way, the road to change requires change. Often radical, sometimes massive.
Positive change. Negative change is atrophy. Like adding to your insulation rating by storing fat around your vital organs. Like losing muscle mass at an alarming rate. Like getting the same results from the same ineffective methods. Use it or lose it.
Change. Dial it up. Make a commitment. Join a club. Hold yourself accountable. Do more. Jump in.
Take the first step, or pedal rotation…..and keep going.
Here is a hilarious video of all that it takes.
Here is a cool blog about how to do….anything.
Here is a piece from Psychology Today on the same just do it subject.
Here is a blog about (good) habits.
All good.
Ninety minutes this morning is our Saturday habit. Our routine. It defines us. We expand and grow together. We support each other. In its own way it challenges and rewards like one of our standing intervals. We walk away, as we should, with a real sense of accomplishment.
Nothing changes, if nothing changes. We have 48 hours to consider. Here is the cue. Commit to the routine. Reap the rewards. Jump in and do it.
Special thanks to Tony for being the Cadillac of spinner subjects for the photo shoot.
