A great way to stay motivated is to break your day down into activities you do - brushing your teeth, for example, takes 2-3 minutes. You do that at least twice a day. When you're a child, you're forced to brush your teeth. Then it becomes a habit. So if you force yourself to move and exercise and create it as a lifestyle habit, whether it's 15-20-30 minutes, think about it, 30 minutes is one minute, 30 minutes. And even if it's just 12 minutes, 3 times a day, that's 36 minutes. Times that by 4-5 times a week. That all adds up. It's like putting money in a bank. Pretty soon you don't look at that balance and then you go, wow! I deposited this much. And at the end, you can actually live off the interest. I've created so much muscle to fat ratio is so high that I can in essence live off the interest. Muscle burns fat when you're sleeping. So if you do resistance training and you build lean muscle you can actually burn fat while you're sleeping.
