All of the following are ideal ways to starting an exercise habit we hope to sustain over time, EXCEPT:

A  Getting a trainer who will give us a bootcamp 5 days weekly to hold you accountable

B  Getting active every day (repetition of the exercise habit)

C  Surrounding ourselves with people with similar goals, like existing exercisers

D  “Habit-tethering”, meaning tying exercise (a new habit we want to gain) with an existing habit or something we already do regularly (like watching a TV show)

E  Making a bet with a friend involving a manageable financial loss if you don’t follow through with your planned exercise habit
