Weight Loss Cardio Exercises
Preparation & Resources
So many of us jump into a new "workout regimen" without taking steps to prepare and ensure our success. This increases the likelihood of losing motivation and dropping out in the future.
I created this free workbook to guide you to sustain physical activity. Losing weight and gaining muscle will finally be fun, exciting, and lasting.
Physical activity that you enjoy prompts your brain to release dopamine. This dopamine release creates a craving to repeat that habit further engraving it into your brain.
That's like a cheat code! However, be patient with yourself, it takes 66 days to create a new habit on average. Below we will explore different categories for cardio-type movement so you can choose what you most resonate with.
