If you've found it difficult to stick to a fitness program over the summer, you're not alone! There are so many reasons why the summer can send mums out of routine. Kids are home for the school holidays, meaning the house is always busy! There are family visits to fit in, work commitments to follow through on, more socialising and events than any other time of year, along with summer trips and family vacations. These are factors for everyone, but none more so than mothers. Being a parent at one of the most jam-packed times of the year can leave you falling behind on your own self-care routines, including health and exercise. It's completely understandable if you've reached the end of summer less fit than you were in May. However, according to fitness coach Rachael Sacerdoti, November is a great month to set new goals and reset your nutrition and fitness regimes. Unlike January, where there can be pressure to stick to a New Year's resolution, you can quietly get to work at your own pace.
THE POWER OF YOUR MIND
Coach Rachael, who was born to an Iraqi family and now resides in the UK, founded her business, It's So Simple, following her own transformation in 2019. It's So Simple is an online programme for the mind and the body. After losing 30 kilograms and with a stronger body to be grateful for, Rachael observed that the single most valuable change she gained during her transformation was the strength of her mind. She realised what an important and impactful role the mind has over our bodies and therefore, the goals we want to achieve, and how many fitness programs only focus on the physical aspects of getting fit.
