A study on exercise shows that making exercise a habit is crucial to making exercise part of your life. The key, the study shows, to making exercise a habit is having an appropriate trigger. Whether your trigger is end of work day or putting the first pot of coffee on, pick a trigger that you do on a frequent basis and exercise immediately after. An important note about triggers, they must precede you habit. It isn’t, “just before I come home from work, I’ll exercise.” A much better trigger is, “when I leave work, I go to the gym.”
