How do push-ups change a person? Push-ups may be the most common fitness method among all the fitness actions at present. Push-ups can not only make people strong, but also change one's mental outlook. Let's see how push-ups change a person.
How do push-ups change a person? 1 Can push-ups make people stronger?
Answer: I have been doing push-ups since junior high school, and I have just been in college for 145 years. I made a group for about two days, a group 150 or so. More in summer, with an average of one day 100. It will get stronger first. The answer is that the main body is thinner, so the six-pack abdominal muscles are more obvious. People as thin as me are basically not as strong as me. So it will make you particularly confident, believe me. When I see a man in the street, I always wonder if I can beat him.

The second is the spiritual level. I studied hard when I was a sophomore. After class at 9 o'clock every night, go back to the dormitory to clean up. At half past nine, I began to exercise. There are four people in our dormitory, and the other three don't study very much (but we have the same good relationship. There is a nickname called Fatty, and I often play with him. When he 180 kg, I can still compare with him. After 200 kilograms, minutes taught me to be a man. I fell! ! ! )
Because they didn't study, I went to the empty dormitory next door to do my homework. I do some stretching exercises first, and then do push-ups, so I have no strength, about 150 or 60, and sometimes I do two groups. I may give myself a little reward when I finish it, a bottle of iced carbonated drink, hehe, start doing my homework after doing push-ups, and basically go to bed after twelve o'clock every day.
After finishing my homework, I wrote a diary. Finally, I wrote on the broken iron bed near the dormitory window at the end of the fourth floor of xx high school boys' dormitory (because no one lives). I really felt very fulfilled at that time. One morning when I went out, the sun just came down and I couldn't open my eyes. The air was a little humid, so I took a breath of special spirit air. The catkins blown by the wind are particularly bright by the sun. I think that's the light of my dream. I can flip the earth with my hand out.
How do push-ups change a person? I said 20 years ago that we should get into the habit of exercising. I ran several times and hurt my leg, then I gave up. I went to get a fitness card several times, but all kinds of things were delayed. Finally, I didn't stick to it and wasted it. I never went to get a fitness card again, and I made many resolutions to keep fit, and many times I gave up halfway.
10 years ago, I knew that going to bed early and getting up early was a healthy living habit, but I still didn't want to get up every morning. Occasionally make up your mind to get up early, force yourself to get up at 5 o'clock, work overtime at night and continue to sleep naturally.
Over and over again, good habits have not been formed. But let yourself harvest full of frustration.
Some people have made great efforts and finally got into the habit of exercising. These people are self-disciplined. Maybe they are self-disciplined and have strong willpower in life. But for most people, it is very difficult to form a healthy habit.
What's the problem?
What is the biggest obstacle on the way to forming good habits? It was not until I met the "micro-habit theory" of Stephen Gass in the United States that I suddenly realized.
Micro-habit theory advocates starting with an impossible micro-habit, such as one push-up a day, which can be completed without any motivation and only with a little willpower. Over time, it produced incredible results.
Etienne Gass himself used this theory to change from a natural slacker to an athlete who was busy reading and writing all day. It's not a dream to become a master athlete with a push-up every day.
How to do it specifically?
First, determine the micro-habits and plans that suit you.
If you want to get into the habit of exercising, try to start with one push-up every day. If you want to get into the habit of reading, start by reading two pages a day. If you want to get into the habit of writing, start by writing 50 words a day.
These habits, which can't be too small, have almost no possibility of failure and can be implemented without any motivation. They can be easily completed with a little willpower or even without consuming willpower.
The brain is resistant to change. Changes that are too small to fail will make the brain feel safe, the brain will relax its vigilance, and changes will happen unconsciously. Never underestimate push-ups.
Second, tap the intrinsic value of micro-habits.
If you do something to meet other people's expectations and requirements, or to meet social standards. Then the high probability event is: it won't last long. So you must find the intrinsic value of your micro-habit, and this intrinsic value is only related to yourself.
If you want to get into the habit of exercising through push-ups, ask yourself: Why do you want to get into the habit of exercising? Because you want to be healthy, why? Because health is very important. Why? Only by having a healthy body can it be easier to pursue the life you like. Why? Keep asking, no matter what your micro habit is, you must find its intrinsic value.
Third: make it clear that the habit remains unchanged and put it on the agenda.
Whether to cultivate habits according to time or behavior should be determined from the beginning. If it is according to the time, do a push-up at 8 o'clock or 3 o'clock every night. According to the behavior, it may be to get up and do a push-up every morning or night before going to bed. What you decide depends on your own life and work situation and specific micro-habits.
According to the micro-habit of determining time, the requirement for time is strict and unambiguous, but it lacks flexibility. According to the behavior judgment, it will be vague, but relatively more flexible.
Fourth, establish a reward mechanism to reward and enhance the sense of accomplishment.
If you want to form a habit, but this habit is not beneficial, even boring and funny, then it is like a punishment for the brain. The brain will resolutely oppose it.
If a person never exercises and suddenly goes to fitness, the pain caused by fitness activities is far greater than the loss of shape. When you exercise in the gym, your muscles seem to say to you: Hey, we are sleeping! What are you doing?
If exercise and fitness can't bring other rewards, who wants to go through the process of muscle soreness? In fact, during exercise, the brain will secrete more "happiness hormones"-endorphins, which will make people feel happy. This is a good direct reward.
Fifth, record the completion of tracking.
Check before going to bed, check whether you have completed the micro-habit task of the day before going to bed. A large calendar is a good choice, which can visually and clearly see whether the marking of the day is completed. Or mobile phone calendar settings, as long as you can see the daily completion. Just choose the right way according to your own preferences.
Sixth: micro-start, overfulfilled
Look at a small behavior, just a push-up, what big effect can it have? In fact, once you start to finish the first push-up, you will often overfulfil it. The advantage of micro-habit is that it can't be done. Even when you are most tired, it will not affect your micro-habits. This is the most wonderful thing. Although small, it is the key to forming good habits.
Seventh: lower expectations and obey the plan.
Don't constantly raise your expectations because you have exceeded your goals. Always remember your minimum goal, push-ups. Even if you can easily achieve 20 today, don't expect to keep 20 tomorrow. The goal is one every day. If you accomplish one, you have accomplished your goal. This is conducive to long-term persistence and eventually form good habits.
Habit forms a signal:
1, there is no resistance, it is easy to do, and it is more difficult not to do it.
2. Identification: Now I agree with this behavior identification. For example, I can say with complete information: I am a runner.
Don't think when you act: you don't need to make a decision to implement it. For example, today is Monday, and we are going to run.
4. Stop worrying: Stop worrying about forgetting, missing or not insisting.
5, normalization: habits are non-emotional, once a habit is formed, it will not be excited for a whole day because of doing it, and will not feel guilty and regret because of not doing it.
6. Boring: Good habits are not irritating, but good for people. Don't expect passion in behavior itself.
Adhere to these eight steps, through micro-habits, you can develop good habits and benefit for life.
May we climb separately and meet at a higher place!
