My takeaways
- Begin your exercise by visualizing the result of that exercise on your body.
- Fitness is not a destination. Fitness is a long journey with many destinations which changes the fitter you become.
- Sleep deprivation disturbs your ability to focus on your exercise which in turn increases the chances of injury.
- People equate fitness with thinness which is not true.
- Fitness improves stamina, reflexes, mental agility, sleep, performance at work, sex life, and mood. It is prescribed as a supplement therapy for most mental and physical illnesses.
- You can only lose 25-30% of weight through exercise and the remaining 70-75% you have to balance with your diet. Although these are broad numbers, the point is diet plays a key role than exercise to achieve fitness.
- There is only one magic formula to get the body you want and that is consistency and the best thing is to show up for yourself.
This book gives hope and knowledge on fitness to everyone who wants to start their fitness journey and all you need is ten minutes every day. To discover more about health and fitness read The Perfect 10 by Yasmin Karachiwala
