Struggling to be consistent with exercise? When in doubt do this.

Most of us think of our health and fitness efforts as an ALL-OR-NOTHING endeavour.

We picture the numerous things we’ll need to do to feel that we’re on track and satisfied with the situation.

Since this often takes a lot of time and energy, we put our health and fitness on pause until we feel we can do this without failing.

When we become ready and motivated to prioritize our health we create a game plan that will tick off all the boxes and we get excited.

Sometimes that excitement can blind us from the reality that sooner or later, life will get in the way… again. Because that’s just how life is.

The most important factor for fitness success after the age of 50 is your ability to be consistent.

It sounds simple, but it’s true. Consistency allows you to keep making progress through all the ups and downs that life brings.

On the other hand, inconsistency will prevent you from making any worthwhile changes.

When you commit to consistency (rather than perfection) you’ll continue to make progress, even in the face of set backs. This could (but doesn’t always) mean slower progress at first, which may not sound as exciting as a full sprint towards your goals. But the important thing to remember is that the health and fitness journey is a MARATHON NOT A SPRINT. 🏃‍♀️🙂

Confused On How To Get Out Of Pain? Learn The Approach Used By The Pros.

Do you find yourself with constant aches in your joints and unsure why?

Often the pain we experience can be pin-pointed to a specific area.

By understanding how neighbouring joints and surrounding muscles function, pain can be significantly reduced with relative ease.

The Joint by joint approach

The “Joint by joint approach” theory developed by Mike Boyle and Gray Cook, explains how joint pain is often caused by improper function at an adjacent joint. If a joint isn’t performing the way it should be, it adds stress to a neighbouring joint because of the muscles that attach them together.
