My Top Tips for Getting Back in Shape in 2021! Let's START TOGETHER TODAY!!!

1.Get started – Stop making excuses and waiting for the perfect month or day to start––today is the perfect day! Join a gym, start walking, watch your diet, and make your health and fitness a priority! In three months, you will be glad you started!

2. Set a baseline – Look in the mirror, snap some pictures, record your measurements, set goals in writing, and start a fitness log. Using a fitness tracking device and sharing your goals with friends and family are also proven ways to help you stay on track. Signing up to run your first marathon or vowing to hit the gym seven days a week may happen down the road, but stick to something simple when starting—like working out 2-3 times a week for 30 minutes. Eventually, you will build up to more challenging goals as you make progress.

3.Do not let excuses overpower your commitment to getting healthy – If you cheat on your diet or miss a few days working out, get back at it! Your mind is your most powerful workout tool.

4.View nutrition as fuel – So many people offset a great workout by overeating and eating high sugar food as a reward for the workout. Moderation is key and start reading labels on the foods you eat; you will be surprised at the sugar and artificial ingredients in popular foods!

5.Listen to your body – Rest as needed but do not fall back into bad habits! Falling off the diet or workout regimen is NOT a reason to give up. You are the CEO of your health, so stay focused and keep yourself on track.

6.Variety will help keep you motivated – Change-up your workouts with HIIT training, cycling, lifting, hiking, etc. Working out can be fun and soon you will hate missing even one workout or overeating junk food!

7.Surround yourself with healthy choices – Take that blender out from under the counter and leave it out. Make low-sugar, high-protein smoothies instead of grabbing something unhealthy when you are hungry and lazy. Check recipes for smoothies as meal replacements and better meal preparations. I keep protein bars handy and travel with my supplements and everything I need to stay on track when I am running around. It takes some extra planning, but it’s worth it.

8.Celebrate starting and take pride in your progress – Share both your progress and struggles to help keep you on track. Join and follow fitness groups on social media and post up those selfies, diet tips and workouts. The fitness community is so engaged and supportive that you’ll stay inspired seeing others making progress! It also inspires others to see your fitness journey and that’s a great feeling. It’s proven that sharing your goals makes you more likely to keep reaching for them, so don’t be afraid to post about your healthy habits and ambitions on social media and tell your friends and family––you may even inspire them or find a workout buddy!

How Exercise Boosts Your Immune System
The process starts while you're sweating. The moment you start exercising, your body cranks up circulation while initiating the fight-or-flight response, which produces stress hormones epinephrine and cortisol. Let's keep that immunity up!

Is Your Lifestyle Too Sedentary?
Did you know one in four adults don't meet the global recommended levels of physical activity? If you feel fatigued all the time, your life might be a sedentary one. Fatigue comes from many things: stress, a low diet, hormone imbalance. The more you sit around, the more wiped out you're going to feel. That's because the body, heart, lungs, muscles—is being deconditioned, which can happen in as little as a couple of days.
The good news: Research shows that moving can put the spring back in your step. One study that looked at the effect of exercise on folks who reported persistent levels of fatigue found that both those who engaged in 20 minutes of either low- or medium-intensity exercise three times a week for six weeks experienced a 20 percent boost in energy levels.

Looking for a new way of working out that isn't long-duration cardio or weight lifting?
Resistance bands are the answer!
What are resistance bands?
Resistance bands are literally ‘bands’ that are either flat or tubular in shape. They are mainly used either in place of or to complement resistance training involving heavyweights. Resistance bands are great for those who want to exercise at home or who like to take their workouts along when they travel, but their value doesn't end there. There are many benefits to these simple exercise tools, including versatility, convenience, safety, and effectiveness.

HOW YOU SABOTAGE YOUR HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

RUN WHEN YOU SHOULD WALK

It doesn't just apply to running! We all tend to jump into whatever new health regimen we're excited about and go all-in on Day 1. Workout motivation is fantastic as long as you aren't absorbed by the mindset of "faster or harder is better."

TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH ANYONE (INCLUDING THE BEST BODYBUILDERS)

There are a few ways this can sabotage your healthy lifestyle. Maybe your partner is an avid runner, so you decide you'll start running with him every morning before work… But you're not an early bird, and his pace is killing you. What works for someone else may not be the right thing for you.

SUPPLEMENTING YOUR WAY TO HEALTHY

This isn't to say that supplements can't play a healthy lifestyle, but consider it a pyramid. At the bottom are the basics, like sleeping enough, moving our bodies, hydrating well, and eating healthy fuel for our bodies. Those are the pieces that aren't sexy but need to get done before supplements can do any good. And if you think you need a particular supplement, it's a great idea to check in with a doctor or functional medicine practitioner to get tested to see if you need what you think you need.
