You know that old cliche 'every little bit helps'?

Its really true, only people have a hard time seeing it that way.

Find out how you can fit in more movement without the added stress

Work is really busy.

Or your kid is going through a “phase.”

Or it’s pie season.

Any number of obstacles, distractions, and competing demands can make it so easy (and understandable!) to put your fitness, nutrition, and health goals on hold.

Most of us have done this. We tell ourselves, “I’ll start that new habit when life calms down a bit.”

Problem is…

Things never really slow down permanently.

Are you over-processing your fitness?

Getting bogged down in details? Remember to keep exercise simple.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the sheer volume of fitness media and advice out there. Type “exercise” into Google and you’ll get scorched with the information blast.

It can seem like there are so many things to remember.

So many conflicting ideas. So many details.

Stop. Relax. And . . .

What should I do? you ask.

Oh, just listen to your body, comes the well-meaning response.

Seriously?

What does that even mean? Listen to your body?

So today, we’re going to tell you.

Let’s start by thinking about where you’re at with your workouts these days. On one end: An emerging athlete with a strong body and a confident attitude. Head held high. Every move is pure power and grace. On the other end: An overwhelmed, not-so-compliant, struggling-with-nutrition,dreads-training-so-why-would-I-want-to-push-myself-even-harder kind of person. Doing your very best, but feeling like it just isn’t good enough. Find yourself on the spectrum and ask yourself some questions.

Now that the weather is getting nice, you may be tempted to forgo your resistance training and head outdoors for some aerobic exercise in the fresh air. But beware: if you give up your resistance training, you will be giving up more than you bargained for.

What you do every day is more important than what you do every once in a while. It is important to realise that overtraining or under-recovery in fitness does not deliver faster and better results Find out more about the minimum dosage to help listen to your body and get better results

Fitness starts in the mind. Ask anyone who's been there. Be they an athlete or someone who works out. The number one secret to their success at fitness is a commitment And commitment means that you are in it for the long haul
