It’s about that time of year when people begin to slack off on their New Year’s Resolutions and forget about being “Your Best Fit”.
What does being “Your Best Fit” mean anyway? It’s different for everyone. My best fit will be completely different than your best fit. We all have different goals, body styles, former and current injuries, and life challenges.
So perhaps this is the perfect time of year to reframe the definition of your best fit. Take a look at your current situation and establish goals that are truly realistic for where you are in your life right now.
For example at the beginning of the year if you vowed to exercise every day but simply haven’t found the time to do so, then perhaps you should consider a goal of two to three times a week. Once you master that then you’ll feel confident about a more challenging goal. Not only that, but having accomplished exercising two to three times a week will make you feel so good both mentally and physically that you’ll actually WANT to do more.
What many people don’t realize is that exercise is mostly psychological. The first step is deciding that you want and need to exercise. The second and most difficult step is actually doing it!
So what ever you do, make it realistic. Don’t attempt to exercise for one hour your first few times out the gate. Try 20 minutes and see how that feels. Invariably you’re going to feel a little soreness. The trick is to feel enough to feel good and not so much that you cannot move and forever ban exercise from your life!
So you can be your best fit in no time if you approach the process sensibly with positive thoughts and understand that you really can do it!
