Your goals are yours so why would you try to achieve them in a manner that doesn’t serve you? Making changes to your behaviour (a necessity in goal achievement) is far easier when you actually want to make the change. If you hate running then don’t plan that in order to boost your cardiovascular health. There are a wide variety of scientifically backed truths at your disposal, so find the right one for you.
There are two ways to know what’s the right one for you. Number one, you actually do it, and number two, it works. Any new practice or behaviour will yield various results over a period of time. It is by tracking your progress that you decipher what works and what doesn’t, for you. Your goal. Your behaviour. Your results.
