About this episode
Welcome back to 13 ways to make moving your body consistently EASY part 2, if you haven't yet listen to part 1 I highly recommend going back and listening to that episode either before or after this one. Moving your body consistently can be hard — whether you're just not motivated or you don't have the energy, or life just feels way to busy. Whatever the reason may be, I have a BUNCH of ways to help you make it easier. In part 1, I discussed: Finding movement you love doing Creating a schedule. Treating your workouts like appointments or work meetings. Having a plan. Setting yourself up for success. Having a back up plan Okay let's dive in to part 2: Don't overcommit Be realistic about what you can actually do weekly and daily. Don't set an expectation for yourself to workout 6 days a week for 60 minutes if you haven't been working out at all. Be open minded about movement. Movement isn't just going to the gym, movement can mean ANYTHING and honoring your body with any kind of movement daily will change your relationship with fitness! Find a way to hold yourself accountable. Get an accountability buddy or a workout partner, or ask your significant other or your best friend to help hold you accountable. Track your progress Sometimes we can't see the changes in the mirror every single day and we think we aren't making any progress when if fact, we are making LOTS of progress. That's why I think it's so important to track your progress so you can see that your hard work is in fact paying off. Track your consistency See how many days and weeks you can go honoring your body with movement. You're going to become so motivated to not break your streak! Set specific and actionable goals for yourself It's also hard to stay consistent when you don't know what you're working towards. So figure out WHAT you are working towards EXACTLY. Focus on the process not the results. If you focus on the results ONLY you're going to struggle to see results.
