in your sleep, and you exercise while you sleep for as long as it takes until it is mani- fested physically. You have nothing to lose because as of now you are not exercising anyway, right? First, create a routine, write it down,
make sure you have the time frame and your objective and by all means make it feasible. In addition, write at least 10 benefits of exercising. Second, for 7 nights read this routine before you go to sleep; read it slowly and feel the information that you are reading. Third, visualize the routine in your mind, slowly, and go to sleep; that
simple, you will be exercising in your sleep and developing the habit which is essential to maintain an exercise routine. After the 7 nights, continue doing it
but add the following steps: First, for the next 7 days be ready to exercise, dressed, be punctual, comply with the time frame you had chosen when you created your routine. Second, read your routine; read slowly the benefits and finish up the time writing your routine and benefits. Third, visualize yourself exercising. Let me give you a tip that helps: do not discuss what you are doing with anyone; this is about you. If
you live with family, just indicate that you are creating the habit to exercise. After the 7 days of getting ready, you now have 14 days exercising while you sleep. On the 15th day, you apply the following steps: First, at the time frame that you have chosen to exercise, ask yourself if you like to exer- cise. If you feel like you do not, you have not placed your heart into the matter, your desire was weak and not real, you are just fooling yourself like you have done in the past. At this time you can cancel out your negative response; you either go back to the initial step or you continue even though you do not feel like it. Just do it. If you feel that you do, for the next 7 days do your routine; you must begin and end your routine just as you developed it. You must go through it for 7 days no matter what. By the way, you continue taking the exercise routine into your sleep.

ercising in your sleep for 21 days, being ready physically for 7 days and actually doing the routine for 7 days. Now, you can choose if you are going to do the routine every other day, 6, 5 or 3 times per week, or the ideal - every day. You can also alternate different times each week. After you decide your routine weekly, it would support you tremendously to continue exercising in your sleep - you will solidify your intention to exercise permanently. For most of you, having the con- scious thought to exercise because you know the benefits but cannot bring yourself to do it, here is the formula to bypass your mind and replace whatever pattern of ideas you have registered in your subconscious that block your conscious desire to exercise. If you have not exercised at all or in a long time, do a simple routine that involves warming up, a little stretching, walking normally for 10 minutes, then briskly for 20 minutes, and ending with walking normal again for 10 minutes. Doing this at the very minimum of 3 days per week will make a world of difference to your body, mind and overall health. It can be so easy, just begin by exercising while you sleep.
