You’ve been lied to about how long it takes to build a habit.

The study “Time to Form a Habit: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Health Behaviour Habit Formation and Its Determinants” found that, on average, it takes about 10 weeks for a new health behavior to become automatic, though this can vary based on the complexity of the behavior and individual differences.

On my mindDefy Resistance

Discipline is essential for progress. There’s a time for everything—training, recovery, and reflection. No matter when you wake up, get outside, ride, and start moving. Resistance hates action. When excuses arise, remember: Get up, go out, and train.
