Overwhelmed with your fitness journey?

⁣1. You won’t always be motivated, and that’s normal because you are human. ⁣Do it anyway, and you won’t regret it. I’ve never moved my body & felt worst afterward. Motivation fades but habits stick. ⁣

2. It Takes time! Progression is never linear, so you must be patient with the process and grateful that you can exercise. Set a goal, of course, but then really focus on how often you showed up month to month, week to week, day by day, and watch everything come together. ⁣

3. Accept that regardless of your goals, there will most likely be a time during the year when you are heavier/lighter than you’d like. Dieting all year long isn’t realistic. ⁣/paywall
⁣
4. ⁣Your goal and how you feel will be strongly dictated by the quality of the nutrients you put in your body, alcohol intake/water intake & how well you recover (stretch and sleep)⁣. ⁣
⁣
5. You’re not too busy. I say this with empathy, though, because some days, you may not be able to get in a workout. You can be a parent, managing yourself and your kids, an EMT worker, or someone who has to work many hours to survive. I get it. But there is always a systematic way to have a good workout week. There are plenty of 15-20 minutes workouts, especially with the kettlebell. ⁣

6. Accept that you should be using kettlebells more often. 😉 They are the best, and we can verbally debate this in the comments, or we can have a jujitsu match over it - I’m ducking no smoke.
