Want to exercise more regularly? Enjoyment is key. Teixeira et al.’s habitual gym goers had found a fun workout to do. A common habit-building mistake is focusing on future rewards (you’ll look great!), but only immediate rewards get us to repeat behaviors enough to form #habits.

[Big Think @bigthink]

Exercise culture is crazy. But what you need to do is exceedingly simple.
