3 Things You Can Do Right Now To Be More Successful In Your Fitness Journey
Here are a couple of tips that can & will make a huge difference in your health & fitness journey:
1. Schedule your workouts like appointments in your calendar
It's very easy to push back workouts and say I'll get them done later this week... then later this week comes around and you actually have too much going on to squeeze them in. A fix for this is scheduling your workouts into your week and even adding them into your planner/calendar. Think about what you have going on this week and schedule them in where you can fit them. Once they're on your calendar, think of it as something you HAVE to do like an appointment or event, and follow through! Show up for yourself because you said you would!
2. Pre-plan and pre-track your food
Nothing is worse than getting home from work, having nothing prepared, and feeling too exhausted to put something together. Avoid this by pre-planning and preparing your food, especially on those busy work days. It doesn't have to be anything complex, but even having some meat prepared so you can throw together a quick meal is better than nothing. If you're tracking calories/macros, pre-tracking is a MUST to help you be successful in hitting your nutrition goals.
3. Create a solid bedtime routine
Sleep, sleep, sleep. Unfortunately, it's one of the easiest things to slack on because we've got a lot going on! Sleep is just as important as exercise and nutrition. Poor sleep quantity and quality is linked to poor workouts, disrupted appetite regulation/bad eating habits, unregulated hormones, increased stress, weight gain, and so much more. Create a good bedtime routine that includes settling down, turning off screens, and maybe reading a book is going to lead to higher quality sleep!
Being successful in your fitness journey doesn't always mean changing EVERYTHING about your current lifestyle, but instead making little adjustments that add up overtime. Once these habits build and you FEEL better, they will be easier to upheld and kept track of. Looking for some structure with creating these habits? Apply to work with our team!
