As I captured in previous post, I started the habit drive on 19th Jan 2016. Now it is 50 days since I started, and this is my first report.

Habit - Daily Exercise

What to do

In accordance to Rule #1, I picked “7 Minute Workout” to be performed every day. This is a collection of 12 exercises, covering entire body. Each exercise lasts for 30 seconds, 10 seconds break between 2 exercises (which makes it total of almost 8 minutes, not 7 min as the exercise name suggests).

The exercise and the science behind it is covered by an excellant New York Times Article here. I downloaded the free app provided by New York Times Group itself (iTunes link here) (Apparently it used to be free when I bought it, now it is $2.99. Other free variants available on iTunes)

Report of First 50 days

What went right

What to be changed/improved

Nothing yet. I’ll continue to follow 7MWC for another 40 days, and will decide after that.

Impact:

Already feeling better with fitness. Exercise is getting easier. There is also an interesting impact - as I complete this first thing in the morning, there is a sense of accomplishment, and day starts on a positive note.

Habit - Meditation

What to do

I downloaded an app called “Headspace”. It is a subscription based app, with 10 days of free guided meditation. Each session is 10 minutes long.
