Push
Unlock The Science Of Fitness Motivation To Embrace Health And Longevity
Jordan D. Metzl, M. D.(0)
About
A fitness motivation plan that helps readers understand the roots of healthy and unhealthy motivation, learn how to push themselves, and create their own sustainable movement plan for health and longevity, from a top sports medicine physician.
We know that physical activity improves your lifespan (lived years) and healthspan (vitality during lived years). The biggest health risk we face is low fitness, which causes more premature deaths than smoking, obesity, and high blood pressure. And yet, we've fallen out of love with movement. Nine in ten Americans can be considered "metabolically unhealthy," and nearly one-third of adults worldwide are physically inactive. Why is it so hard for so many of us to keep moving? The answer lies in the science of motivation.
Push will help bridge the gap between knowing what's good for you, and doing what's good for you. Consistent, healthy motivation comes from an intertwining of knowledge, emotion, and belief. Knowledge feeds the belief that you can achieve your goal, which in turn affects your emotions and keeps you on the right track. In his 4-week Push Plan, sports medicine physician Dr. Jordan Metzl will show you how to make movement a daily part of your life, and how to push back against unhealthy motivations. You'll find out where you are on the motivation spectrum, uncover your exercise biases, and shift your thinking so that you can make a positive impact on your health and longevity.
Beyond improving your mental game, Push includes simple, total-body workouts and exercises for mobility, flexibility, and strength that are designed to easily get you moving, including resistance training to maintain and increase muscle mass, which is a critical anti-aging tool. Dr. Metzl gives you all the necessary tools to recognize and harness your fitness motivation for lasting health.
