Great! Have you made time to get started though?
Exercise is great for your mental health and a great way to give you back control of your life
However, it takes time, and I’m betting you don’t feel like you have a lot to spare at the moment
At least if you’re anything like the majority of our personal training and small group class members
Exercise (and eating well) is just another thing on a long to-do list
That’s why planning is such a critical part of the start of the journey
And simple planning at that
So, meal prepping and tracking food on MyFitnessPal is what you might think of when I say planning
However, that’s really end stage, and probably unnecessary for your goals
When we talk about planning it’s as simple as writing the days and times you’ll train this week
“I will train on Monday, Tuesday and Friday at 6:30am this week”
Rather than “I’m hoping to make it 3 times this week”
Seems small but it is a huge change (3-4 times more likely to show up using the first method)
And it’s one of the major reasons we book people into their sessions when they start
That spot is locked in, it’s your appointment to look after yourself, you’ve got it for as long as you want it
With nutrition this might look like a weekly menu
Take 10-15 minutes to write out your breakfast, lunch and dinner for the week
Include meals out and parties (obviously not the food you’ll eat, just that you’re going)
And that will also make you more likely to choose your food consciously
Even at those parties
Take some simple steps to create a plan for your fitness and nutrition
And you’ll create momentum and motivation to hit your goals
