Willpower Exists Only In Limited Supply
Dear Reader,
We all know exercising regularly is good for us and many of us start out each day with the best of intentions, a lunchtime workout, or a long walk after dinner, only to end an exhausting, stress-filled day without fitting in that workout.
One of the reasons we may not be able to follow through on those exercise goals we set for ourselves is that we've used up our store of willpower during the day on other things.
A new study published recently in the journal Psychology and Health examined the intriguing theory that people may only have so much self-control available to them on any given day.
Willpower may well be a limited resource - use it on one thing and it won't be there for anything else. "When you use self-control for other things - like meeting a deadline at work or resisting the temptation to eat a doughnut - you deplete your pool of self-control," explains exercise scientist Kathleen Martin Ginis, PhD, of McMaster University. "We wanted to see how that impacted exercise."
She and her colleague Steven R. Bray, Ph.D. created a lab experiment to test the idea of limited willpower and exercise. They recruited 61 college students who weren't regular exercisers.
The subjects were first asked to exercise on lab based exercise machines. Half the participants were then required to perform a task (known as the Stroop test) that was intended to deplete their stores of willpower.
The test involved showing the subjects the words for colors (red, for example) only the words were printed in another color (in blue ink for instance). Subjects had to say the color they saw; resisting the temptation to say the name of the color they were reading - not an easy task. It takes more self-control than you might think to ignore the written word and make yourself say the color name instead.
The subjects then submitted to another round of exercise. Those whose willpower had been challenged didn't exercise with the same intensity as subjects who hadn't taken the test. What's more, the students who'd had their willpower challenged worked out less over the eight weeks that followed.
The good news is that self-control is much like a muscle. The more you use it the bigger (and stronger) it will get. By challenging yourself to do things, get up off the couch for instance, the stronger your self-control becomes.

Experts like Boston psychologist Eric Endlich, Ph.D., a specialist in motivating
people when it comes to diet and exercise, suggests that having a plan can truly
make all the difference. He recommends:
· Scheduling exercise into your day - if you know you workout best early, do that. If you have trouble at the end of the day, set up your exercise time during your lunch hour when you'll have more energy.
· Having things ready to go keeps you from being delayed by searching out what you need. By doing this, you don't allow yourself to have that internal debate (should I, shouldn't I?) while you gather your things - instead what you need is on hand, ready to go.
· Having a trainer or exercise buddy is also a great tool to help you stick with your fitness goals. Just knowing someone's counting on you (or waiting on you) to show up is a fantastic motivator.
· Mood matters, so keep yourself as upbeat as you can before a workout. Listen to music or watch something that is uplifting and you'll be more likely to maintain your motivation for the exercise.
Even if your willpower is limited, these ideas are all super suggestions to help you achieve that goal and get more active.
Before you know it, exercising will have become an accepted (and expected) part of your routine and you'll be seeing the benefits to your mind and body.
And you can use all that extra willpower for other things, like resisting snacks and going to meetings.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
