The closing of gyms & a new year begins.

With the closure of gyms, we can feel lost mentally and physically without being able to work out. What can we do to feel our best selves during these next few weeks without a gym?

It’s like you’ve heard me say the following before, but nutrition is the foundation to seeing results. When I educate and help people become the healthiest versions of themselves, I ask them to remove the gym their first week and focus solely on their nutrition. In all the success stories I’ve had with people, I get them to take the stress away of doing it all at once. We are designed by nature to think all or nothing, but I am here to help you understand that taking things one step at a time will actually help you with long-lasting results. Here are three things you can do to get started on your nutrition goals.

1. Have a plan of action with your nutrition. DO NOT WING IT. This has never worked for anyone in the past. If you are entirely new to knowing what you need nutritionally, you will need to seek out what is best for you to see results.

2. Set small obtainable goals that you can achieve weekly. You will feel successful when you hit those goals. Making goals like “hitting the gym five days a week and being perfect with nutrition” will be close to impossible to achieve. Instead, focus on your nutrition being 60% to start and moving your body daily (which could be a walk).

3. Ask for guidance when starting. It can be overwhelming to do it on your own. Most people who have been successful with their health journeys will tell you they had a coach, mentor or trainer for them to see their true protentional!

As we leave 2021 behind and enter a new year, ask yourself if you are shedding all the things that have held you back from seeing results. Get rid of your excuses and start what you need to do to see the best results in 2022. Let 2022 be YOUR year in fitness and health.
