From Wiki
pedia: "Compound interest is the concept of adding accumulated interest back to the principal, so that interest is earned on interest from that moment on."
So where does the Principle of Compound Interest apply?
Well, when you start to exercise and eat clean on a regular basis, you start to make small changes in the body. You're putting in your time and earning back a decent return in fat loss. Maybe a 1% improvement per day. By consistently following the good habits, that 1% starts to compound in the body.
This is the magic of the body. After a while, the biochemical processes of the body change. Your mind and body is reconditioned to a new standard. Soon the return on your habits are far more than 1% per day. The body gets used to burning more and more fat. It also gets conditioned not to store fat.The payoff is an overall change in the body on the outside and inside.
For instance, the phenomena of vascularization. In Fitness: The Complete Guide, Dr. Hatfield tells of a test done by a researcher who set a weight on the floor and tied a rope to it. The other side of the rope was looped around the middle finger on his right hand. In time to a metronome, he began to lift the weight with his finger. The first time, and for many weeks after, the best he could do was 25 reps.
One day about 2 months later, the researched began the usual lifting, but he wasn't tired at 25. He kept going until he reached 100 reps! The researchers finger had undergone vascularization in response to the adaptive stress of exercise. More blood vessels opened up in the finger, creating new routes for delivering more oxygen. The blood vessels don't open up one at a time, but by whole networks!
This phenomena is bound to happen throughout your body to some extent when you're exercising properly. Not only does the exercise become easier, it becomes more tolerable. Your threshold for exercise goes way up, and heading to the gym becomes second nature like brushing your teeth.
Think of the possibilities your life can have if you actually enjoyed exercise and eating clean?
You can have it all if you simply cultivate those good habits!
