🌻 Don't like strength training? Here's the good news
|
I was making it way more complicated that it needed to be... I kept telling myself I needed to strength train 3-4 hours every week. I mean I'm post menopause and we all know that strength training is super important to maintaining strong muscles and bones. So, I'd block out these big chunks of time, plan one hour strength training sessions... and then life would get in the way. Work calls, family stuff, you know how it goes...or I'd just get tired, lazy and unmotivated to work out for an hour - I mean I'm just not that disciplined. By the end of the week, I'd done maybe one workout. If I was lucky. Then it hit me: What if I just broke it up? Instead of forcing myself to find 60-90 minutes at a time, what if I did 20-minute sessions instead? Game changer. Suddenly I could fit regular strength training into my actual life. I started doing 20 minute strength training workouts right after I taught my 8 am Yoga class (also 20 minutes) so I was already warmed up ("habit stacking" strategy for creating new healthy habits). I finally started regular strength training on my own for the first time in months, just by making it simpler and shorter. (I also listen to my fave podcasts while I work out which I actually really enjoy and helps me not get so bored lifting weights). My struggles with consistent workouts has inspired me.... Something new is coming this month to help YOU move more with ease and consistency. It's designed for women who are tired of the start-stop exercise cycle, who think they don't have time to exercise, and want to finally find a way to move consistently without it feeling like such a chore.

Hey Reader, In my recent video about sticking to healthy habits, I talked about two game-changing tips: 1. Focus on just ONE goal (not ten!) 2. Start with one small action step (ridiculously small counts!) These two things alone can make the difference between quitting by February (most new year's resolutions don't last beyond February) and actually making progress. So I wanna know...What's YOUR one goal right now? And what's one small action step you could take this week toward it? Hit reply...

I thought I could just do it on my own...easy peasy. I recently stopped working out with my personal trainer (not because she's not awesome 'cause she is) but our schedules just couldn't jive anymore. So, I figured, I have weights at home, I can just work out on my own, no problemo! I had all the best intentions of doing my full strength training sessions 2 to 3 times a week for an hour. I had a couple of dumbbells, a dedicated workout space and told myself, “This time, I’ll stay consistent.”...
