3 Common Struggles When Starting Your Fitness Journey

In my experience, these are 3 common struggles that people experience at the start of their fitness journeys and this is MY advice.

1) “I don’t have the time.”
✅Most of us believe we don’t have time. But if we are real with ourselves, we ALL make time for what we want. Carve out 45mins to an hour of workout time and plan it into your daily routine. Rather than spending 3 hours binging a show, re-invest that time into yourself and your goals. Your body will thank you.

2) “I struggle with staying consistent.”
✅Consistency is the result of our habits. Set clear and attainable goals and expectations of yourself for each day/week. If you set aside a few hours to map out what your days and weeks will look like, you will be surprised how simple it is to stay consistent.

3) “I struggle with sticking to a diet.”
✅I like to think of healthy eating or a “diet” as a lifestyle. Determine what your goals are for yourself and what it will take to get there. Are you someone that will benefit from a structured meal plan? Do you prefer eating later in the day vs. mornings? Whatever it is, you need something that you’re able to stick with. If it feels like a “diet,” you’ll want to quit.

AND PLEASEEEE for the love of God, don’t be that person that eliminates food groups out of your diet. I promise you will be doing more harm than good. Just make sure most of your meals are balanced with complex carbs, protein, healthy fats and micronutrients (veggies/fruits).

What advice would you give someone struggling with their goals?
