Today we’re going to show you 5 strategies that are going to get your health and fitness journey to an amazing start. Do not ignore these tips or you will be ignoring the quickest wins that will help you achieve your goal body in the fastest way possible.
Strategy 1:- Taking progress pictures
You really need to get familiar with your body and the best way to do that is to take progress pictures. It may be scary to do this at the start but when you look back on those pictures and see how far you have come, you will feel motivated and confident. I recommend you to take pictures from the front, side and the back and make sure to do a progress checking photo every 4 weeks.
Strategy 2:- Set a small goal
This is important to do as so many of us set very high goals and when we don’t accomplish them we end up feeling de-motivated and don’t stick to our plan. What you need to do is set one small goal to focus on. This could be anything from giving up diet coke, drinking 3 litres of water every day or even giving up some sweets. Once you’ve accomplished a smaller goal then you can set up a momentum and start working towards higher goals.
Strategy 3: Do not count calories
Yes guys, you do not want to count your calories and end up obsessing over the number every single day. This can actually be dangerous and lead to an unhealthy relationship with your food. Instead, you can cut down on sugar and processed food and stick to whole foods and you will end up losing weight anyway. Just stick to a balanced diet.
Strategy 4:- Know your ‘WHY’
This is very important to keep you motivated and going. Remind yourself why do you want that body? Why do you want to lose weight? Or why are you eating healthy? Write it down, pin it up or set it as your phone wallpaper. Keep a reason for wanting to improve your life and look at it every day so you stay focused on your goal.
Strategy 5:- Identify your hurdles
If you tried to get in shape in the past and failed? That you need to ask yourself why? Did you go on a vacation? Did you get sick and gave up? Or did you not see the results you wanted? We’ve all been there before. When you start your journey think about your past pitfalls and come up with ways to avoid them so you can continue your journey and achieve your goal this time.
Hope these tips help you to start working towards your goals. Make sure to let us know which worked out the best for you.
