Psychologists have found that it takes 21 days to reverse a bad habit and begin a new one. Using this finding, I'm starting a personal challenge to go to the gym for the next 21 days straight, whether cardio or strength training. Who's with me?!

    I think it's a wonderful idea. I'd join you but I've already made going to the gym a good habit. ;) Good luck to you. You can do it!!!

    I am with you. I will workout at home, because I have a treadmill, weights, etc. I definitely need to change. I am going to get up earlier and workout before work.

    That sounds interesting given that I usually don't make it 21 days when I try to implement healthier lifestyle changes. There may be something to that theory. I'll give it a try.

    Hi
    I'm new around here. I'd like to join in if possible! One of my weaknesses is that there are 1001 reasons not to go to the gym and I reckon I've used over 900 of them.:smile:
    "I know I should go to the gym but the car park is full, I forgot my shower gel etc". If I can crack this challenge then perhaps I'll be able to get back to how I used to be.

    Hi
    5 days in now, anybody else doing this? I've started looking forward to going to the gym again. Throughout the day I'm running through my mind what type of workout I'll be doing next. I hope to see some results from all this effort on Monday when I next get weighed!
