Have you hit a plateau in your exercise routine? Or perhaps you’re new to the game, and are wondering about the best ways to proceed? Or maybe you’re just feeling sort of icky every day and are wondering why? Whatever it is, let’s take a look at a few habits you can troubleshoot to 1) break out of your plateau 2) get started in your journey or 3) feel better in your day-to-day! Dial in your nutrition. Eat lean protein at every meal and include as many colorful fruits and veggies as you can. Choose healthy fats and hydrate well. Practice good eating behaviors. Eat slowly and mindfully. Recognize your hunger and fullness cues and honor them. Move often and move well. Exercise is practically useless without proper form and progressions. Get regular physical activity and manage your training loads. Don’t forget to rest. Resting is just as important as exercising. Purposeful recovery in the form of rest days (where you still eat well!) is key to your fitness journey. Create a supportive environment. Get a fitness buddy or ask your partner/roommate/friend to help keep you accountable. Feel your feelings. Have a self-care routine in place so you can process your emotions healthfully, without resorting to stress eating or self-medicating.
It can seem like a lot of variables to juggle. The key is to take each piece one small step at a time. The more “little” wins and habits you can change, the better you’ll feel, and the more you’ll be encouraged to keep going. And if you need help, you know where to find me! Click the button below.
