Fitness is one of those things that you're either super into or you completely overlook. I have phases where I'm super into working out and eating healthy, and then suddenly I miss a day or two and I go back to eating family-sized bags of chips. The key to anything in life is consistency. Once you start something, you gotta stay consistent with it. And trust me, I get it. Constantly working out and having to avoid your favorite junk food is not easy at all, but it is SO worth. Not only physically, but you feel so much better mentally. We all have our cheat days, but what's important is that you remember your goals. Here are some tips on how to get back into the fit life for when you start getting lazy.
Make the gym a part of your everyday life
Working out before you start a busy day is the BEST feeling ever. If getting up early isn't your thing, try hitting the gym at the end of your day. Regardless of when you go, working out for at least 30 minutes a day will instantly improve your mood and even your quality of life. Remember, it only takes 10 days to form a habit.
Make healthier choices
Swap your favorite junk food for some healthier alternatives. Coming from an avid potato chip lover, I know hard this can be. However, your body will thank you. And hey, you are what you eat!
Find a workout buddy
Everything's better with a friend, even your dreaded workout! Let's be real, working out can get boring. It's great to have someone push you and keep yourself motivated.
Make goals for yourself
You can't get anything done in life without a set of goals. Knowing what you want to achieve/ having an end goal will help you stay on track. Whether you want to lose weight, tone your body, or just keep your body healthy, having a set of goals will keep you motivated.
Take a workout class
Like I said, working out can get boring. Try taking a class! Whether it be Zumba or whatever else your gym offers, classes are super fun and help build your stamina. These classes target all the major areas of your body and are a great way to get a full body workout.
Go shopping!
What does shopping have to do with getting fit? I don't know about you guys, but I feel much more motivated to work out when I like my outfit. So head over to mall and get some workout gear! Working out is much more fun when you have a cute workout outfit to go with it.
