or Chapter III of Marti Soosaare's e-book "A New Beginning"
"5-4-3-2-1-laps"
We often have a purpose for being active, and it can often be some seemingly distant external motivator. If you follow Tiia Kaare or Ott Kiivikas on Instagram on a daily basis, but see a middle-aged, slightly overweight man or woman in the mirror, the contrast is a bit too stark. Unless your self-confidence is like Katuse-Karlsson's, who would say that despite everything he is a rather fat man in his prime, the reality is that we will never get a body like that.
In fact, we don't really need a body like that unless we want to go to the World Fitness Championships. Even if we do, it's wise to look much closer.
Let's focus on the beginning, on getting out the door. Putting on your shoes. If you started but didn't become a Kiwi, that's certainly a much better achievement than not starting at all.
Yes, I guess there is even some scientifically backed logic to this, that the (human) brain, as a single-brain processor, prefers to avoid switching from one activity to another in routine activities whenever possible - the brain's internal instincts fight against switching and this needs to be overcome. However, once the switch has already occurred, it is easier and, once in the 'zone', no longer resisted. In this sense, it is true that this knowledge could help in itself: the psychological discomfort only lasts for the time it takes to start the activity, which has to be endured. So the suggestion of forcing one's bottom out of the door is a valid one - from then on, it will happen on its own, without any motivational cues.
