Alright… so another full week has just flown by and it’s time for another FitJerk Friday with Wendy and yours truly. Todays focus will be on implementing a life-long habit. Habits build the foundation of success and I have a kick ass method for you that will help you implement a workout routine in your life. Busy or not.

As always, FitJerk Friday’s is about a pep talk AND a recipe, so head over to Wendy’s blog for some extra deliciousness: The Local Cook

FJ’s Excerpt

So here I am, standing in my kitchen, with the laptop stationed besides three empty egg shells, the screaming kettle and my chicken omelette sizzling on a hot pan… all the while I pound away at this keyboard.

Why? Because of habit.

Wait… actually yes there is. And I am going to show you my fool proof habit creation method. I used to save this for my E-Training clients who fell off the wagon more than 3 times, but I shall be revealing it to the world. This little method will program a short term habit into you… and then you can take it from there and by virtue of sheer repetition, make it a long term habit. Or maybe, just maybe, a life long habit.
