Monday Tip: Living Healthy LONG TERM
Happy Monday everyone! Hate falling back into bad habits? Today I have some tips for maintaining your progress and living a healthy lifestyle LONG TERM!
#1 Keep Moving: Get your workouts in, and also get active outside of the gym! Take the stairs, go for long walks, and participate in activities that require you to move more.
#2 Be a Smart Eater: We can’t fall back into our bad eating habits and expect to keep making progress in the gym. Be smart, eat a variety of fruits and vegetables and be cautious of what you are putting in your body.
#3 Turn off the TV: The average person watched TV for 35 hours a week. Imagine if we turned off the TV and used all that time to be active and moving? Turn the tv off and get off the couch.
#4 Eat for the Right Reason: Emotional eating can have negative effects on your progress. It is super important that you view food as FUEL and use it give our bodies energy to do more activities!
#5 Forget All-Or-Nothing: No one is perfect. There are going to be good and bad days but keep on going. Don’t let small slip-ups get you out of your routine. Simply get back to your healthy lifestyle rather than letting yourself backslide into old habits.
With these tips you are giving yourself the best shot at maintaining the progress you have already made in the gym and living a healthy lifestyle long term!
