5 Tips to Prioritize Your Movement Habit

​

1. Create a Plan & Connect it to your ‘Why’

• Plans are empowering, they help us feel confident that we are moving towards our goals.

• If we don’t have a plan, chances are much higher we won’t do anything as it’s often 1 more thing to think about on our already busy schedule.

• Always come back to ‘Why’ a specific habit is important. This will help with motivation when things are hard.

 

2. Schedule It

• Keep it as an appointment with yourself.

• At the beginning of the week look at your calendar and block off times to ensure you are prioritizing movement and exercise for yourself.

• If we haven’t taken the time to create space, more often the space will get filled with something else.

 

3.  Tell Somebody: Create Accountability

• If we tell someone what our intentions are, we are more likely to follow through.

• Better yet, find a friend to join you on a walk or exercise class. Having to show up for someone helps hold us accountable.

 

4.  Choose an Activity you Enjoy

• We are far more likely to engage in movement we enjoy regularly than forcing ourselves to do things we hate.

• At the end of the day, consistency is key in seeing results. We are more consistent if we enjoy the journey, not just the end result.

 

5. Make it Easy

• Prepare your environment to work out: Lay out your athletic clothes and shoes, have a gym bag ready to go, post-workout snack handy.

• Perform the steps above! They will help make movement easier to follow through with.
