"We know now that low fitness is as big a health risk as diabetes, hypertension and smoking-and that physical activity improves both your lifespan and healthspan. And yet society is at brutally low fitness levels, with nine out of ten people "metabolically unhealthy." Why aren't people motivated to do the one best thing for their own health and longevity? Push explores the murky waters of motivation, for good and for bad. How do you transform motivation to stay on the couch and skip workouts into an irresistible desire to tie your sneakers and get moving? Understanding the science of healthy and unhealthy motivation is at the heart of Push, and Dr. Metzl's career-long obsession. He's spent more than 25 years helping people stay properly motivated by combining medical and fitness expertise. Push examines why your brain is the way it is, helps you understand how your unique motivational profile works, and gives you the tools to move past understanding into action, including: The three ingredients of healthy motivation-knowledge, emotion, belief-and how they intertwine in your brain to get you moving. How to define and embrace a positive relationship with exercise that will last. A quick, repeatable self-test to see where you fall (and improve!) on the motivational spectrum. A 4-week Push Plan to solidify your day-to-day, moment-to-moment motivation foundation and help you push through difficult times. How to build your own total-body strength workouts from more than 80 anywhere/anytime exercises"-- Provided by publisher.
