If you see me in a braided pony tail, it can only mean on thing….IT’S CARDIO DAY 😉
Tip of the Day: There is nothing stronger than a habit! The scary part is that habits can be constructive or destructive. Just think…before you go to bed each night, it requires very little effort to remember to brush your teeth and we always remember that when we encounter our front door, we must reach for our keys to unlock it: both constructive habits. These examples show the strength of a habit. Fortunately, habit formation is quite easy and it just takes a little practice. Practice makes perfect!
Here are a few ideas for healthy habits to work on this week:
(1) Getting in the workout zone
Allot yourself 5-10 minutes before every workout to get in the zone. Maybe that means blasting some pump up jams, watching a motivational video, reading inspirational quotes, or catching up on your favorite fitness blogs. Warming up mentally for a workout can be just as beneficial as doing some stretches!
(2) Starting your day on a positive note
Our waking moments are so important because in a tough world, it’s easy to find things to accumulate to a bad day. When you start the day on a positive note, you feel invincible all day long! Remind yourself of a few things you have to be grateful for, spend some time with your kids or significant other, read a chapter of a good book, enjoy a cup of coffee….engage in a positive, rewarding activity within 20 minutes of waking.
(3) Schedule meal times
I do believe in eating when you’re hungry instead of force-feeding yourself, but 80% of the time (when you really are hungry), it’s helpful to schedule meal times. For instance, breakfast @730am, lunch @1130am, snack @3pm, dinner @530pm, snack @9pm (give or take ~20min each way). This simply helps get you on a schedule to prevent unnecessary snacking.
