Let’s talk about yoga and Newtonian physics (I leave the quantum physics to experts). Both yoga and physics apply to all our workouts, surprisingly enough. They agree: the hardest part is getting started.
In yoga, this is phrased like this: To begin is the victory.
Physics, in the form of Newton’s first law of motion, says it a little differently: A body at rest tends to remain at rest and a body in motion tends to remain in motion.
In our daily lives, then, what we need to focus on is that first step. Once we get going, once we get to the gym or get on the bike or look at the weights or roll out the mat, we can keep on going more easily. We win by showing up.
