What are your tips for getting started and motivated?
• Ask yourself, “What is the one thing that I can focus on that would make the biggest positive impact on my health and take me closer to my goals?” Focus on making a positive habit change in this area and, as you gain momentum and confidence, you can build from there.
• Regardless of the time of year, it’s important to think about the “why” behind the intention to get in shape. Is there a time-bound goal (for instance, a birthday or wedding) that you’re working toward? Or, is it health-related, where you understand you must make a change so that you can be the best version of yourself for your children?
Where do people normally slip up?
An extreme change from “feast to famine” over the holiday period, when people decide to go on a New Year detox, can be unsustainable. Instead, the key to success is focusing on making healthy changes, understanding that you still need to fuel your body to perform optimally day to day and in the gym, and planning ahead.
Additionally, if you go “too hard, too soon”, it’s likely that you will bounce back negatively when you fall off the wagon. Therefore, mapping out a clear plan and having guidance and support in your journey can result in a much more favourable outcome.
