  • The drinks that major sports teams use are designed to be exactly what is needed for that sport, and only contain sugar if nutritionists (and other real scientists) say it is needed, and then only in the amount needed. Different sports have different needs, and so will get different drinks (if there is enough money in the sport to pay scientists to design it).

    The sports drinks you buy in the store share only the name/logo with the above drinks.



  • Don’t look for books - they are a form of procrastination for people like you. Not that books are bad, but they can’t solve your real problem which is there is always something else that seems better to do. You already know “You just have to do it and it if you want it so bad, you’ll find a way” - which is all that books can tell you (200-300 pages to basically say that!).

    Cold and snowy is NOT AN EXCUSE! Get the gear your climate needs. You need this in case your car goes in a ditch or something so there is no excuse to not have it! Lightening is the only thing that should stop you from going outside. Even if you never walk for exercise you need this.

    I bike to work when it weather allows for it - and I have the clothing so most weather allows for it (the gear to bike in cold is not the same as going for a walk!). An ebike increases the distance I can reasonably ride to work. Be careful with this though - it is easy to turn “I need one more piece of gear” into procrastination. Ride to the office this saturday - check out your route and the time - if it is reasonable start riding every day and get the gear needed when you need it - but if it isn’t reasonable just give up.

    There is no easy answer. You can set alarms, but if you don’t follow the plan exactly every day they are worthless - as you already know. You need to figure out what will get you to exercise - there is no shortcut. Reading about what works for others can be inspiring - but often it is just a source of procrastination.
