In the late 1990's a self help book called "Don't sweat the small stuff" was all the rage. In 2023, my challenge to you is to actually sweat the small stuff. Last week in my private practice I had multiple conversations with patients surrounding the concepts of health and how to achieve it. For many of them, they have been indoctrinated into the health and fitness concept that sustained long term high heart rate activity is the only way to effectively burn calories. However, if you were to survey the current health and fitness industry surrounding this, nothing could be further from the truth. A group consensus will actually agree that sustained small habits over time will actually be more beneficial than the sudden introduction of "cardio" for your health. Today, I challenge you to actually sweat the small stuff, invest in the daily habits and execute on them consistently. You will find that over time, this concept is sustainable for the long term as opposed to the next trendy yo-yo choice that leaves you exactly back where you started. Sweat the small stuff.
