  • Tip #1 Perceptions (1:45)
  • Past Experiences (2:04)

  • Tip #2 Set the Intention (5:32)
  • Tip #3 Leveraging External Factors (10:00)
  • Bonus Tip! Focus and Body Awareness (15:34)

NFPT Live Episode #38

Some of our viewers said:

YES, external factors are huge! The weather is killing our motivation ugh…been pining for spring for so long – 2 days ago was a blizzard and last night tornado watches! – can’t wait to get outside for long walks and hiking!

 

Thank you for being real, Bev! I’m super inconsistent about exercise and I need to tap into why I am being inconsistent. 

 

Agree on intentional training. We’re given one body for our life here on earth….why not take care of it! God gave us a temple to care for, not to destroy and abuse. When we feel horrible, it’s hard to love and care for others.

 

I like to walk – I love going to the movies it 4 miles away from my house going to the movie is my gift from walking.
