Life is, after all, only lived once
What a week it has been!
I decided that it was time to honour some of my goals. Here’s a little bit about what I have to share about my latest fitness journey: Starting a new exercise routine can be both exciting and overwhelming. If you're like me, you may be eager to see results but are still determining where to begin. However, gradually easing into a new exercise routine can help you establish a healthy habit that you can maintain long-term.
To get started, finding an activity you enjoy is essential. Experiment with different workouts until you find the ones you like the most. This could be jogging, yoga, weightlifting, or anything else that increases your heart rate and makes you feel good. I chose walking on my treadmill. Once you've found an activity you enjoy, start slow. It's essential to ease into a new exercise routine gradually. Trying to do too much too soon can lead to injury or burnout. Start with shorter workouts at a lower intensity and gradually increase the duration and intensity over time. Setting achievable goals is also vital when starting a new exercise routine. Make sure your goals are specific, measurable, and realistic. Whether you want to run a mile without stopping, lift a certain weight, or exercise a certain number of times per week, make sure your goals are achievable and realistic. This will help you stay motivated and focused on your progress. Consistency is vital when establishing a new exercise routine. Try to exercise at the same time each day, whether in the morning, at lunchtime, or after work. This will help you build a habit and make exercise a routine.
Additionally, getting support from friends, family, or a workout partner can be helpful. This can help you stay motivated and accountable and make exercise more enjoyable. In summary, taking small steps towards your fitness goals can help you establish a healthy habit that you can maintain long-term. Following these tips and staying motivated, you can achieve your fitness goals and lead a healthy, fulfilling life.
One last thing, though: be flexible with yourself. Life is, after all, only lived once. So, occasionally, have a piece of cake, or better yet, one or two butter tarts. Stop worrying about that little voice telling you to stay away from sweets and just take a big bite out of them. You'll be fine - I promise. (At least, that's what I believe! )
I'll keep you posted on my progress and share my best butter tart recipes in a future column!
Have a beautiful week! Anne
