- Why am I telling you all this? Well, typically, fitness goals are a classic New Year's resolution. Gym memberships rise in January and then the gyms empty out again by March. So the question is how do we stick to our goals? That's why tip number one is make it easy for yourself to reach your goal. Choose a gym on your way to work, even if it costs five euros more. Or place your running shoes visibly in your apartment And don't take on too many goals or two big ones at once.

- Tip number two make it easy on yourself and improve step by step using the one percent method. Use an LLM like ChatGPT to help you design your goals using the one percent method. AI's can greatly support you by outlining the path and simple start for each goal. Remember, less is more better to start with at least some sports than not getting off the couch at all.
- 01:29 Andre Ottlik
- Exactly. Break down bigger goals into smaller steps. It helps immensely. And lastly, try a small visualization exercise. Sit down. Close your eyes and imagine taking each small step one by one. Like putting on your shoes, smiling and taking the first step in a relaxed manner.
