Can’t Find the Motivation to Exercise? Try Training Your Brain.

We all know exercise is crucial for health, yet many struggle to stay motivated. A new study suggests that integrating daily mindfulness training with step-tracking could help people stick to their exercise routines longer-term. After a 30-day period, both groups saw similar increases in weekly activity time, but those who incorporated mindfulness exercises expressed stronger intentions to continue moving regularly. The researchers, led by Dr. Masha Remskar, also noted that the free mindfulness program, Medito, could be particularly effective for those balancing competing demands, and they plan to refine these tools further.
