That’s the question often asked and then followed by a lot of excuses as to why becoming a fitter, healthier you just can’t happen right now. You look at everyone else around you hitting the health buzz and your inspired, slightly jealous but not yet motivated. You tell yourself after the long weekend coming up you’ll jump on the ‘healthy’ bandwagon. That weekend comes and goes, you’ve once again worked 40+ hours and you keep putting it off as your busy schedule doesn’t allow you to make all these drastic changes to your life so you do nothing, change nothing.
IS THIS YOU?
Your first step is to simply change the way you’re thinking and just start. Start today, and the next day. If it all goes to shit one day for whatever reason you start again tomorrow and learn to find balance and routine.
Most importantly with your busy life schedule you start small. Beginning SOME healthy habits is better than having none at all!
Okay so you’ve committed to making a change today. Where to now?
You need to figure out what exact result you’re after.
Lose weight?
Tone up and get rid of those flabby bits?
Have more energy for your day to day life?
Now from here decide if you need to head to the gym that is around the corner from your house or work to start hitting the weights to tone and trim.
Or decide what changes can you make to your diet this week that will help working towards a healthier you.
You may simply look at your work schedule for the week and commit to how many, and what day/times you are going to head outside for a walk or run to burn those extra calories.
GO YOU! GREAT START!
Try to change something new each week. These small changes just become a part of your day to day life and help you to form good habits that will stick.
