The subliminal exercise is to build your day into routines that are good for you that you like. Build your life the way you want it to be.<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-1101031055\"><div id=\"thefa-3827813646\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Stop wasting your life<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start living today<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sigmar S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start a fresh short time exercise routine which lead to more exercise then u have better feeling about the exercise with your body\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ingetraud J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Only you can answer that- is one hour realistic for you? Or will it become an impossible burden?<br \/>\nAgain, you might be different, but I find that committing to at least 15 minutes in the morning (or even 10 on bad days!) is far more achievable in the long term for me. I still do longer sessions when I can, but when I try to push that number up on a daily basis, I eventually get to a day when I genuinely can\u2019t fit in a longer workout, so I don\u2019t do one at all. Committing to a shorter time just works for me.<br \/>\nAs to whether a formal approach is better, again, that depends on you &#8211; are you the kind of person who needs structure? Then a formal routine is probably a good way to go.<br \/>\nOr maybe the idea of having to decide what to do every day sound exhausting? If so, again, a more formal approach where you can switch to autopilot might be the way to go.<br \/>\nJust be mindful though, rigid routines are fragile &#8211; if you choose to go with this option, I\u2019d suggest thinking about what you plan to do if, for example, you can\u2019t access the equipment you usually use. Have a backup plan and be ready to be flexible &#8211; life happens!<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re more of an intuitive, go with the flow kind of person, then maybe you should just pick what feels right to you each day.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s a lot to be said for doing a variety of exercises. <\/p>\n<p>Personally, I do a combination of both &#8211; I do yoga every day but choose a class that feels right for me that day. <\/p>\n<p>Hope that helps \ud83d\ude42 <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">C Lia T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would rather do a 8 minutes everyday because that is much more reasonable. I actually been following a 10 min video I found on YouTube that I like a lot. Ive literally completed the work out everyday since 2 weeks minus 2 days. It&#39;s working well for me(:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marcus C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on your daily rush. If you work late or have lots of business trips then it is better to do 8 mins of whatever than nothing. But if if you schedule well then it is much more better to do 1 hour per day. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Scott P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start small and build up, so keep it at 8 mins until you do this regularly. You&#39;ll want to challenge yourself when this becomes a habit and go to 1 hour by yourself. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kaylee X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think it all depends on your willing to do so, if it&#39;s easy for you to start with 8 minutes then do it just for 3 days and after that start your training program, in my case I was used to train for 2 hours 6 days per week, I paused for 5 months and now I am starting over. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jesse O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">8 minutes of awesomeness! Can\u2019t beat that \ud83d\ude09 Keep it short, sweet and manageable and then one-hour workouts are a bonus when you get the chance. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tracy J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don\u2019t think starting with an hour is wise, rather build it up to that. Start with 8 minutes, and then push it to 15. Keep it there for a week then to 20, then keep on increasing by 5 until you\u2019re at an hour. If you\u2019re wondering what type of exercises to do there\u2019s an app called Nike Training Club. It has a variety of exercises that are different in length and structure, enabling you to change your routine as time goes on. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alfred F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on your current level of fitness. However, if you are currently with an 8 min routine maybe a change to an hour routine it&#39;s not realistic.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Christoffer E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">i prefer 5 days in a week, 2 or 3 hiit and 2 or 3 strength training. Nike training app is brillant about it, i suggest you to take a look \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Clinton Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I need to keep the time goal small or I&#39;ll get overwhelmed and avoidant.  Doing at least 8 minutes per day is much less daunting and then when it&#39;s easily completed it feels great.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Heidi F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">My answer is that it depends on your goal. If you want to loss weight and build up a higher degree of calories consumption, you should try 1 hour exercise per day. Otherwise, you can keep to 8 min per day and schedule one or two days per week for the 1-hour exercise in order to keep your fitness. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Theresa U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Both can work depending on the circumstances. A gym or yoga class is better suited for a 1h class and trying to do it at home is not sustainable. I would also suggest not doing it everyday, initially. On the other hand 8m exercises are easy to pull off everyday at home. You can always increase the duration, but do it gradually. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anja F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Keep it simple, 8 mins per day is good and helps your body muscles get used to your new habit. Your muscles need to get used to being stretched out more than your normal every day wonderings, if you push yourself too much you could damage your muscles. Think about how your day to day auto routine looks like and then decide on an exercise routine that will slide into your day with ease, also consider mishaps. Will your routine still flow with your day if you were sick? Or went on a holiday or vacation? Yes I know holidays are meant for relaxing and when you\u2019re sick you don\u2019t have a lot of energy, but your trying to set new healthy habits to fill you with energy to tackle each day. Personally I\u2019ve found that a playlist of around 6-10 bouncy songs is good, I can rock and dance around as much as I want and it still rolls with me being sick or going on vacation. But if you want a real work out that targets your muscles, my sister does a full body stretch &#8211; it stretches her muscles, loosens her joints and only takes 5mins.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Brian F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would do what\u2019s best for you. I invested in a Fitbit before I found this app and it helps show me how many \u201cactive minutes\u201d I\u2019ve done in a day. They\u2019re definition of active minutes is having you\u2019re heart rate in your cardio zone. I do about 20 minutes of whatever in the morning instead of 8 and I\u2019ve started walking my dogs in the evenings. If you keep a good pace you do actually get your heart rate up. I plan to hit the gym on my days off but I don\u2019t want to break the good habits I\u2019ve started by finding a whole hour to exercise on a work day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Melinda X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start with 8 mins and keep doing it regularly. Being constant is the key. Once you do it constantly you will start enjoying it and want to pull your limits.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Valerie F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think for the everyday i should stay with 8 minutes in the morning, and then when that is in place add 1 hour workouts 3 times a week. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Cherly E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on what your schedule allows for. As a high school student, my day ends earlier than my parents\u2019 workdays, so I have the time for a full hour of working out right after school. If you have time similar to that, then either works. If you work a 9-5 or longer, then whatever you have time for would work better. No matter what, it\u2019s always good to get something done.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tony P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Grow as you go; the model for this program suggests that we embed the ritual (healthy breakfast, exercise, etc.) before we concern ourselves with quantity. I intend to trust the process, because just getting in the habit is good for now. I have burst into programs with vigor and intent, lost steam within a few weeks, and quit. Manifesting a force of habit seems to be a slow process, but in the long run it will have immeasurable value. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Reginald E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I already walk the dog at least once, usually twice a day, for around an hour each time. Having  a little 8 min exercise separate from that is helpful.  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Samuel Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you are able, definitely exercise for an hour, 5 days a week!  It\u2019s excellent for energy, focus, helps with depression and lack of motivation.  Plus your body benefits in so many ways.  You\u2019ll look extra fantastic, have a stronger heart and bones, and a quicker metabolism.  There\u2019s really no good reason not to&#8230;just excuses.  You would be so proud of yourself too.  I say definitely go for it!  And good for you for being ambitious.  You\u2019ll go far.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alfred C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I am just doing what ever exercise I  can given the time available.  Better than doing nothing.  And as it becomes more of a habit I  can throw more time and variety into it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Asta E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It\u2019s best to start with smaller time goals, and then work up to longer time goals as you get stronger. Otherwise you risk the chance of overwhelming yourself and quitting. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Peter B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The primary goal is to form a habit of exercising. Everybody has a different level of experience, physical ability, and time constraints. For some, 8 minutes is just enough for the individual to mindfully set aside time for exercise, and that is okay. If you are already considering an hour long routine every morning, you probably already have an idea of what exercises you want to do, and a location you wish to do them. Personally, I workout for one hour with a friend of mine at a local gym. Spending an hour with a friend at the same time most days of the week allows me to take my workout seriously enough to follow through almost every day, and I enjoy seeing my friend. To summarize, if 8 minutes a day is progress, start there. If your schedule and ability allows, go for the hour&#8230; or anywhere in between. Good luck \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">H Rman S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">What do you really and realistically have time for? The idea behind  this system is to make tiny changes that you will actually do.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to do an hour of exercise in your morning routine it might work better to go from eight minutes to ten and when that is a routine habit raise it to fifteen minutes and so on. Or add one more set of an exercise you are doing or one new exercise, and give it a couple of weeks to be routine. Eventually you will get to an hour a day if that is really where you want to be<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ildo P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The biggest thing about exercise first thing in the morning is to wake yourself up. So do however long you need to feel like you&#39;ve had a proper workout. I do a 10 to 15 minute walk first thing in the morning and then I do my intense workout later in the day usually in the afternoon. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Johan B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You want to start small to ensure your new habit will be sustainable. Just start with a small amount (8 minutes) of any low intensity exercise. Once the habit is established, you can adjust the time and intensity, the key thing is just getting the habit established at the lowest level. And don&#39;t forget to celebrate each time you perform your new habit!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gauthier Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019d recommend to rather start with shorter but daily exercises. Starting with long exercise immediately can start to become hard once the initial motivation is gone &amp; you might not stick to it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dennis F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Create a flow. Don\u2019t think of time. Once you feel enough, you stop. E.g. when walking simply walk at a pace which feels comfortable, effortless and on which you don\u2019t have to pay attention. This way your mind will feel at ease and you would burn the calories without loosing will power. This is called flow. <\/p>\n<p>At first, according to your day today, do whatever is possible with your will power. Whatever feels right.<br \/>\nNext day is a different day, so no point in setting one timing for everyday. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sophie S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hi, I guess to start with 8 minutes is better. I also go to gym for longer workouts but I do not count it in to my daily morning routine. The morning routine should be quick and rapid. One our task is way to long.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Vilator Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on how you feel. Also the intensity of the exercise. Remember that it has to be something that makes you feel better in the end. Too much is not the goal. Everyday little by little is what matters. Create a habit. A habit trigger to start doing it and requires a reward at the end. The trigger is the wake up call in the morning after taking some glasses of water, then I go for a run or a swim or biking but just enough to feel a warm satisfaction and not torture myself. I reward myself after I finish this activity with a nice 10\u2019 of meditation which makes me feel relax and happy in the end. So, little by little (as much this is for you) is way better of overdoing (which after a while results quitting exercise).<br \/>\nHope this helps,<br \/>\nCheers,<br \/>\nIoannis<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maja S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Keep at 8 min of whatever per day for now to solidify the habit. I found that as I went a long doing the 8 min per day, I slowly but surely started to add more reps and a few different exercises to switch it up. The 8 min eventually turns into 10 min, then to 20 min, etc naturally.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Idalina P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Starting small is important. Keep it simple &#8211; in the beginning you want to ingrain the habit. Later, you can slowly add   new exercises.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Angela G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Keep to a time that works for you. If 8 minutes feels too short make it 10 or 15 minutes. Increasing your exercise slowly will help you be more successful in the long run.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Morris J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think it is always better to start small before moving on with something bigger, so if you are at the stage where you are ready for more then a scheduled workout regimen might be for you. I tend to do about 30 minutes of working out about five days a week, but your workouts don\u2019t all have to be the same. If you are new to working out try doing different exercises until you find what fits. Instead for the 8 minutes in the morning you can stretch instead of doing an intense workout so you have more energy for exercising later in the day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Norisete A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think the aim is to build a consistent habit of exercise . The 8 min time frame is there for you to ease into the habit if exercise isn\u2019t part of your normal routine. Thirty  min of  exercise is probably the minimum you want to aim for, but you dont have to start there. Thirty min can be your goal.  To help you be successful pick a specific exercise and a specific time rather than \u201cwhatever , whenever\u201d . Try the Fabulous journey for exercise . In that journey they recommend running which I dont like so I picked strength training. I used Regimy which is a free app that has complete exercise routines w pictures etc. I found the journey coupled with doing an exercise I enjoy very helpful.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ma Lia Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It&#39;s good to combine your exercise with something that is necessary for you to do. Like going to work with a bike. I do it 30 min to and 30 from work. Or if it is too far for you for the bike than create a way to incorporate some walking time during or after work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dave N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hi! IMHO small, but often exercise it will be more useful. In the moment of your 8 mins exercise routine you can switch off day problems.<br \/>\nBut it your choice \u263a Be happy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Chris X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Better to have a goal of a routine daily of 1hour to get into the habit of working toward a personal goal for my health. 8mins is good initially to get going. But reality needs to be 30min or more. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Serena P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you can do 1hr consistently, great, do that. But just sticking to 8min for now will make it nuch  easier to not miss a day, which will make it MUCH better in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>If you do an hr a day, you might get caught up in a perfectionist mentality where you always decide on a hour, but 1 qeek in or so that is just daunting and you take an extra day off or whatnot. And that extra day off becones two days off and thrn 4 and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>But if you commit to 8min for a month, you get in the habit of just starting. And then its much easier to increase to 15 min and then 30 min. Whereas if you start with one hr, its MUCH harder to get in the habit of just starting. <\/p>\n<p>Another thing is, with exercise, you should never jump into an intense program all of a sudden. Your muscles will get strong fast, but your tendins and ligaments will be much slower in that respect. This means you may be feeling fine, and getting stronger and all, and then BAM! You get injured out of the blue. And its a tendon or ligament that got injured.  And those are reallu slow to recover, and they recover weaker than origjnal capacity.<\/p>\n<p>So, to prevent injury like that, I aint no expert but I&#39;d say give yourself at LEAST two or three months of easy workouts. I know this since it happened to me.<\/p>\n<p>Also, research proper form for all weight lifting things you do, and also research injury prevention for all sports you do.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Cassiano A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It\u2019s really up to yourself. If you would prefer to start a formal exercise routine rather than just 8 mins a day &#8211; go for it.
