Having had a breakthrough, we carried the message to other treadmill owners.

Somewhere, a coat rack is waiting to become a treadmill again.

Somewhere near you is another treadmill wearing a coat. Its owner feels exactly the way you felt before you started: a little guilty, a little stuck, and pretty sure they're the only one.

Sharing what worked for you, without lecturing, is one of the kindest things you can do. Not "you should exercise," just "I've been doing 5 minutes a day on mine, it's been surprisingly good."

Telling people also locks it in for you. People who teach a habit tend to keep it.

Do this today

Send this site to one person who has a treadmill they don't use. No pressure, no speech, just the link.
