We are creeping up on the season of fitness pressure. It’s, oh, you enjoyed the holidays, now it's time to plan for New Years *ahh* *scary*... you get it, we have all seen it before.
I want to offer a practical approach to this whole “new to incorporating fitness into your daily routine” without feeling frustrated and pressured.
-Start off small: walk 3 times a week, do a home workout 2x a week, whatever can fit into your schedule now…start there
-Make attainable goals: if you want to do 75 hard, go for it, I won't stop you. But take into consideration your schedule, your lifestyle, and how you respond to pressure. If that is way out of reach for you, maybe start with something smaller and with fewer rules.
-Make a schedule: we are all busy. If you don’t make time, it won't happen.
-Do something you love: there are so many amazing forms of fitness. Try some out, and see what you like. Find something that makes you feel good, so you will be coming back for more.
-Allow for your plan to follow your seasons: if you are swamped at work, try starting with a low time commitment. If you are hyped up and ready, do something that feels like a challenge! Lasting injury? Rehab it. Starting from scratch? Learn the basics.
I’m tired of seeing people who have been hurt by the fitness industry. Who feel beat down, tired of trying, and frustrated. Let’s try to make this year a little better, shall we? Support each other, help each other find their path, and stop comparing one journey to the next. 🤍
