【题目】Three Simple Ways to Make Exercise a Habit

A lot of people want to build an exercise habit that sticks. Of course, wanting to make exercise a habit and actually doing it are two different things. Changing your behavior is difficult. Living a new type of lifestyle is hard. This is especially true when you throw in very personal feelings about body image and self-worth. 【1】 Here are three simple ways to make exercise a habit.

Develop a ritual to make starting easier.

Habits are behaviors that you repeat over and over again, which means they are also behaviors that you start over and over again. 【2】 In many ways, building new habits is simply an exercise in getting started time after time.

【3】

The best way to make exercise a habit is to start with an exercise that is so easy that you can do it even when you are running low on willpower and motivation. In the words of an expert, start with something that is so easy you can't say no.

Focus on the habit first and the results later.

【4】 Most people start with some type of goal. This is the wrong approach. It's better to focus on the system rather than the goal. What matters most in the beginning is establishing a new normal and building you will stick to; not the results that you get. In other words, in the first 6 months it is more important to not miss workouts than it is to make progress. 【5】

A. Exercise even when you're “too tired”.

B. Start with an exercise that is ridiculously small.

C. The typical approach to diet and exercise is to focus on results first.

D. It is more important not to miss taking exercise than to make progress.

E. In other words, if you don't consistently get started, then you won't have a habit.

F. Both there are some strategies that can make it easier to stick with an exercise habit.

G. Once you become the type of person who doesn’t miss workouts, then you can worry about making progress and improving.

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明了使锻炼身体成为一种习惯的三个简单方法。

【1】根据下文中的“以下是使得锻炼身体成为一种习惯的三个简单方法。”可知，虽然改变自己的行为非常困难，重新一个新的生活模式也很艰难，但是这些都是有策略可以解决的。故选F。

【2】根据上文中的“习惯就是一遍又一遍重复的行为，也就是你一遍又一遍开始的行为。”，所以换句话说，如果你连开始都无法坚持，那么就没有习惯可言了。故选E。

【3】根据下文中的描述可知，我们要选择一个相对轻松的锻炼作为开始。故选B。

【4】根据标题“先注重习惯，后注重结果”，而后文中又指出这是一种错误的方法，可知，横线处应该是与标题相反的，也就是人们通常先注重结果后注重习惯。故选C。

【5】前文中说道，在开始的六个月中不会错过任何一次锻炼要比取得进步更重要，由此可知，当你不会错过任何一次锻炼的时候再开始去取得进步。故选G。
