Don’t try to do it all at once!
When it comes to your fitness goals, sometimes less is more.
Rather than completely flip your life upside down at the start of January, pick just 2 things you can achieve daily or weekly for the next 2-4 weeks.
For example, if you currently don’t go to the gym at all, don’t go all in and hit the gym 7 days a week, limit yourself to 2-3 days until this becomes a habit.
When it comes to your nutritional habits, rather than restrict all the foods you enjoy and only eat chicken, rice and veg 3x per day; just simply start to incorporate more veg into your evening meal each day or swap your lunch for a salad a couple of days a week.
Or maybe start to track your calories to get an idea of how many you are currently consuming.
If you do too much all at once, you will become overwhelmed, begin to hate the whole process and quit again in 3 weeks. You want to be striving for sustainability, a a lifestyle choice to last a life time, not a quick fix.
Develop healthier habits slowly over time and you will reap the rewards.
Here are 3 simple habits you can begin to incorporate into your daily routine;
1. Drink 1L of water more than you currently do
2. Go for a walk on your lunch break
3. Add more veg to your evening meals
