Too often I hear people talk about it is hard to keep consistent with their fitness or nutrition. โฃ
โฃYes I have been there too…โฃ
โฃHere I share 4 things you can do, which has helped my clients and me (yes I use them too!) overcome inconsistency.โฃ

โฃGo through your daily schedule, keep a record for a week. Then work out what time of the day you feel most energized and also is realistic for you.โฃ
โฃIf setting aside 30 mins for yourself a day is not possible, can you break it down into 2 x 15 mins workouts throughout the day?โฃ
โฃThe point is ….you need to find a way that works for YOU…and schedule it in.โฃ
โฃDo not rely on your willpower. We know that when life gets busy, willpower is usually the last thing on our minds!โฃ

โฃYou need to incorporate at least 80% of the workout that you love doing in your program. โฃ
โฃIf you do not enjoy the type of exercises you are doing, chances are, you are not going to stick with it.โฃ
โฃThe workout should not be like ‘torture’ for you. Yes, there might be some ‘off’ days and it is completely normal. But most of the time, it should be something you look forward to, enjoy, and feel good about it afterwards!โฃ

โฃForget about the quick fix. You can only follow a shake or grapefruit diet for so long. You can only follow a no fat, no carb, no sugar, no anything diet for so long.โฃ
โฃAsk yourself: โCan I see myself eating this way for the next 2, 5 or 10 years?”โฃ
โฃIf the answer is no, then whatever result you get, is not going to be sustainable.โฃ
โฃYour nutrition plan has to be practical. Life is short, there is no good food or bad food. โฃ
โฃFocus on the quality of food. Make sure to get all the nutrients your body need. Enjoy the favourite food you love and know when to stop. โฃ
โฃForget about calorie counting (unless you love it!). It is never accurate and depends on so many factors. It can be misreported by up to 25% or by 1000 calories a day! โฃ
โฃThere are many other ways to count energy intake. Learning portion control is the simplest and most effective way! โฃ

โฃHow many times have you made promises to yourself and broke them with all sorts of excuses?โฃ
โฃThereโs a huge difference between knowing what to do, and actually doing it. โฃ
โฃThat is where accountability and support come into play. โฃ
โฃRight support and guidance will get you to your goal much quicker! It will help you pick yourself up when you fall off track (and you know you will at some point). โฃ
โฃMost importantly, you will shape up your mindset, understand your deep ‘why’ and change your lifestyle habits. That is the key to ensuring you get a long-lasting result and live a healthy, fit and happy life!โฃ
