If you dream of maintaining the figure you flaunted at the beach this summer, we have news: it’s possible! With the proper support, you can achieve it.
The key to changing our habits for a healthier life is always to make good and consistent decisions. The path to success is choosing the proper diet and exercise routine and permanently incorporating them into your life. Of course, it’s easier said than done.
At Yes You Can!, we know firsthand the difficulties this represents. That’s why, in this article, we help you answer the question, “How can I stay consistent with working out?” Keep reading for tips on maintaining your figure and health from January to December.
Whether it’s because time slips away with daily activities or because fatigue—or laziness!—wins, exercising consistently is the most complex challenge for most people trying to improve their lifestyle. And yes, it’s tough, but not impossible. By applying the following strategies, finding a routine that suits you and is sustainable in the long run will be easier.
Firstly, you need to understand that aiming to train two hours daily, seven days a week, all year round may be the quickest way to fail in your fitness efforts. Setting unrealistic goals fueled by initial enthusiasm only leads to frustration.
The ideal approach is to design a workout plan based on your available time, always allowing recovery periods for your body. It’s not about exhausting yourself for a few months and then quitting for another few. It’s better to maintain a moderate routine over the long term than to have bursts of intense physical activity a few times a year.
While repetition and effort are the pillars of any workout, that doesn’t mean your routines have to make you suffer or become dull. There is an excellent variety of exercises for every imaginable goal, and you can choose the ones you find most enjoyable.
Additionally, it’s advisable to vary your routines to keep your whole body constantly challenged. Even if your main goal is, for example, losing weight rather than building muscle, it’s best to incorporate strength training from time to time into your primary cardio routines. This will help maintain muscle tone and skin firmness and improve your endurance.
If one of the issues you face when trying to stay consistent with exercise is a lack of motivation or boredom, exercising with a partner or group may be a way to overcome those obstacles. You can do this by going to a gym, joining group classes, or inviting a friend to do the routines with you, whether in person or virtually.
According to the Better Health Channel site, having someone else who shares your goals and witnesses your efforts is an effective way to stay motivated. Plus, the company and conversation can make those moments much more enjoyable.
Related to the first point, to make exercise part of our daily life, it’s crucial to be able to adapt to unexpected circumstances. Did you have a social commitment and couldn’t do your workout today? Too tired to complete all the reps? Give yourself a break! A day without exercise is not the end of the world and won’t have the overwhelming impact your mind might suggest.
It’s better to skip a day than to work poorly or risk injury. Don’t overwhelm or stress yourself over these minor setbacks; instead, adjust the rest of your week to stay on track.
Like with exercise, many people hope to take shortcuts in nutrition to lose weight. However, relying on extreme diets is often counterproductive and unhealthy. If you want to achieve a comprehensive change, look at these recommendations.
Reduce your portions rather than completely sever your relationship with certain foods. No one wants to say goodbye to sweet treats forever, but perhaps eating oversized desserts after every meal won’t be the best approach. Controlling portions is easier than cutting something out entirely.
A big help for portion control is Yes You Can!’s appetite suppressant. This supplement promotes satiety and helps reduce cravings and anxiety. Made from natural plant extracts like chamomile and lemon balm, just one capsule in the morning is all you need to help you feel less hungry and manage cravings.
Another way to improve your eating habits permanently is by substituting some ingredients for healthier options. For example, if you consume dairy, you can swap cow’s milk for a plant-based product like coconut or almond milk. Flour tortillas can be replaced with cactus tortillas, sugar with natural honey, and animal fat with vegetable oil, like olive oil.
You won’t have trouble finding hundreds of recipes with these kinds of options, and many more, to make every meal a healthier moment. We recommend looking at Alejandro Chabán’s Nutrition Guide for some ideas to get started.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, increasing one’s intake of fiber, calcium, vitamin D, and potassium is a key measure of healthy eating.
Fiber helps maintain a healthy digestive system and increases the feeling of fullness. Vitamin D and calcium aid the skeletal system, and potassium helps the kidneys, heart, muscles, and nerves function properly.
With a healthy body that gets all its required nutrients, it will be easier for you to abandon negative eating habits. And the best part is that these nutrients are easily found in natural and delicious foods like salmon, sardines, leafy greens, mushrooms, soy products, bananas, whole grains, and fruits.
Finally, if you already have a personalized exercise and meal plan, all that's left is to work on motivation and consistency. Yes You Can! products, designed to boost your efforts and improve your results, are the ideal companions on this journey. Here’s why.
