"Fitness is a lifestyle to be lived not a goal to be achieved." But I am sure most of us have known indivduals whose work out rituals are targetted at getting into shape or attaining sense of reward eventually. But I believe there exists no "eventually" once you have started to work out to stay fit and healthy. It is a constant ritual to be performed every single day to maintain a healthy life style and rewards will automatically follow up along the way.The book documents multiple researches done by revered beings in the past out of which one from the title 'Atomic Habits' goes as if behavior is insiffuent in any of the certain mentioned stages (cue, craving, response and reward) it cannot become a habit. Although I haven't read the said title yet but I can't exactly support the statement for fitness domain and what I personally could draw out is religiously performing the stages of any activity is a reward in itself which makes one so invested in enjoying what they are doing that I believe they might not even feel the need to look forward to being rewarded eventually because every action undertaken with immense positivity and pious intentions become a rewarding feeling itself.Somewhere I felt more then enjoying the process, the anticipation for end result or the rewarding feeling is promoted. Taking into account the researches shared in book along with the generally talked about mechanisms to develop fitness habits, there is not much I could take away from the title. Most of the the theories are overly exaggerated. But consistency being the key to unlock any perfection or develop healthy habits in life and your environment being the major energy booster are the couple of teachings i found uplifting. Language used is indeed convincing and cover is so pretty.

Nice book. Who are expecting to be fit. I feel like it’s an another version of auto mix habits inclined to fitness. But it’s worth read

This book is written by Amaresh Ojha and Subhra Moitra, it consists of eight chapters, what I liked about this book is that this book not only talks about fitness but it also helps you to make fitness a habit and a part of your lifestyle.I picked up this book because, with this pandemic and everything around, I noticed I was turning lethargic day by day, I needed to boost up the motivation to even get out of bed to move, but this book has helped me to make it a part of my schedule. well according to the book it takes around a while to build a habit but I am sure to make it a part of my schedule.The book has all the answers related to our fitness and why we fail as an individual to make fitness a habit, I enjoyed the writing style of the author. I expected this book to be a little more detailed but overall I enjoyed it.
