Go ahead and buy a cool sports water bottle and keep it at work.
Because that can prompt you to be more physically active, and make exercise a regular part of your life. Researchers at the UK’s Bangor University found having a visual cue where you’ll see it all the time - say, something you always use for exercise, like your water bottle, ear-buds, or running shoes - makes people more likely to follow through and work out. The physical reminder boosts activity in the brain region linked to organization and planning – and literally doubles your odds of becoming a regular exerciser.
