We posted a poll on our Instagram @livingbybellaco, asking what your main focus was this summer: The top result was focusing on your fitness journey. So of course, we created 5 ways to own your fitness journey this summer.
- Set Realistic Goals: Are you aiming to increase strength, endurance, or achieve a specific milestone (such as conquering 3 miles on the stair master—a remarkable feat, if you ask me)? Your goal should be precise and measurable so you can truly track your progress.
- The Habit: Treat your fitness journey as an essential part of your schedule. Just like you prioritize your work and other commitments, carve out time for exercise. Treat is as a non-negotiable appointment, so you’ll ensure consistent progress.
- Go Crazy: You don’t have to just hit the gym: Consider dancing, yoga, weightlifting, martial arts, or any other form of exercise. Join group fitness classes, find workout buddies, or engage with online fitness communities. Trying a variety of ways to stay active will make your fitness journey feel less like a chore, and more like fun.
- Put Yourself First: Fitness goes beyond exercise. Sleep, diet, and stress play a big role in affecting your health and energy. Taking care of yourself first is necessary, and by doing so, you’ll likely hit your fitness goals much faster.
- Embrace the Journey, Not Just the Destination: View your fitness journey as a continuous process of growth and self-improvement. Focus on the habits and positive changes you’re making along the way, rather than solely fixating on the end result. Remember, true empowerment lies in the person you become throughout the journey.
