How long have you thought about cutting excuses and dialling into a regime that is goal focused and kicking your health and fitness goals once and for all? Health and fitness goals aren’t going anywhere, but in the same breath - if you had the opportunity to turn a new leaf in your life and become the BEST you could be, why wouldn’t you do it now?

You’re never too old, too late, too busy, to commit, double down and SUCCEED.

If you’re wondering where to start, start here, today, with your environment, work schedule, daily routine, workout plan and meal prep. Here’s our 5 tips to turn a leaf and become the best version of yourself, better health, better wellness, better mindset.

1. Write a schedule and plan the week

Plan everything ahead of time so it acts as not only a schedule to keep you in check but also like a goals list too - achieve, check and succeed your way through it! Keep realistic with these goals and try and not bite off more than you can chew when it comes to planning. An example of going too much too soon is if you’re currently not training at all and then aim to work out 3 times in your first week of easing in not 7 days. It’s important to have a perspective of what is sustainable long term.

2. Declutter

Go for gold and declutter your environment, start with your pantry and move onto your wardrobe and slowly declutter your environment ready for a fresh slate of motivation to kick start your journey. Your pantry is a really important place to start to get rid of the things that don’t align with your goals. Are you time poor? Then have high protein, low calorie, nutritious options handy. Every pantry needs Hey30s so don’t forget to make sure you’re stocked up.

3. Diet and Exercise regime

This doesn’t need to be a rigid schedule and restrictive diet but you should start your health kick with a focus on these two aspects of your wellness ensuring you have a plan and you’re set up for success in order to see results. Start your day with daily movement even if it’s just a 30 minute walk, and make healthy swaps in your diet focusing on 80% wholesome and nutritious food - high protein, fibrous and nutrient dense food; leaving 20% for treats and food you love.

4. Food prep

Meal prepping is such an integral part of keeping your nutrition in check and keeping you goals on route. The best way to prep your food for the week is to plan your meals and dedicate Sunday evening to getting organised. Don’t forget to always make sure you get a wholesome and filling breakfast in. Even if you’re time poor you can still make nutritious choices - check out our quick healthy brekkie ideas here.

5. Keep yourself accountable

Find ways to keep yourself accountable while beginning your journey and making these changes towards more healthy habits. A great way to do this is through weekly check-ins with yourself, having daily check lists to tick off a list and creating incremental milestones that you can reward yourself for. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day - don’t give up!
