New year new you! Well, maybe you’re not that extreme, lol, but the start of the new year IS actually a great time to recharge and refocus on your goals, especially those related to fitness. It can be hard finding motivation around this, but we all know that incorporating movement regularly into our routine is great for our health, so here are a few tips to help you out!

Fabletics Saddle Creek

Consider buying a few new workout pieces.
I don’t know about you, but nothing motivates me to workout more than getting cute workout clothes. I love wearing sets vs. just throwing anything on, so adding in a few new pieces is perfect for reactivating the excitement around going to the gym. Fabletics is known for their Subscription/Membership Program, but you can actually shop their looks in person at the Saddle Creek location.

Treat working out as a form of self-care.
Regardless of how you decide to incorporate more movement into your life, treating it as part of your self-care routine can help make it easier to do. Working out is not only good for your body, but it’s great for your mental health as well. It’s a lifestyle!

Focus on consistency vs. intensity.
Consistency means something different for everyone, but one thing to remember is that you don’t have to kill yourself in the gym in order to feel like you got a good workout in. Even just going for a 30 minute walk can help improve your health over time, so do what makes sense for your schedule and makes you feel food.

Fabletics Saddle Creek

Find workouts you actually like instead of what “everyone else” is doing.
You don’t have to be a Pilates Princess just because it’s the trend right now. One of the keys to enjoying working out and making fitness a normal part of your life is doing what you actually enjoy. I’m not saying working out should be easy, but it doesn’t have to feel like the worse thing in the world to do. You’re much more likely to stick with it if it doesn’t feel like a chore.

The start of the new year is the perfect time to reflect and reset some of the habits that you may have been struggling with. While traditional resolutions may be hard to keep because many of them are proclaimed as absolutes, goal setting and focusing on making changes to our habits over a period of time is a lot more reasonable (and easier to maintain).

They say it takes 20 days to form a habit, so if you’re ready to switch up how you do things, here are 5 healthy habits to bring into the new year that anyone can do.

Healthy Habits New Year

Move Your Body
While working out more is a habit that many people try to pick up at the start of the new year, it can be a struggle to maintain because we go overboard out the gate. We try to make going to the gym 5 days a week for hours at a time a thing, when it’s honestly not realistic for most people’s schedules or lifestyles. An easier approach is to focus on (intentionally) moving your body at least 30 minutes a few days a week. If you have time to go to the gym, AWESOME! If not, try going for a walk around your neighborhood after work or on your lunch break, or even having a solo dance party in your living room when you wake up. Whatever you want to do, just do enough to get your heart rate up and pumping!

Up Your Water Intake
Not everyone loves water, but staying hydrated is essential to staying healthy and feeling good. So many ailments stem from being dehydrated (fatigue, headaches, hunger, dry skin, etc.), so getting enough water daily is imperative to having good health. If you’ve been trying to figure out how to drink more water, try having a glass in the morning before that first sip of coffee, and also add more foods that are water-rich to your diet (watermelon, honeydew or cantaloupe, strawberries, pineapple, oranges, bell peppers and celery are just a few).

Healthy Habits New Year

Schedule Quality Time With Friends
Everyone is busy and wrapped up in our own little words, but it’s good to take time here and there and spend some quality time with close friends. Whether it’s a full blown meet-up for drinks and dinner, or a quick break to get your nails done, try to schedule in some dedicated quality time with those that you hold close to your heart. Your soul needs it.

Healthy Habits New Year

Limit Your Screen Time
It’s pretty amazing how much you can get accomplished when you limit how much you scroll. Being online is such a big part of our lives, but it can get in the way of relationships, work, and even affect our mental health when we spend too much time consuming data and content. Even if it’s only 30 minutes a day, try to pull back from being glued to your phone. Replace that time with reading a book, playing a game, going outside, or just having a conversation with someone without being distracted.

Get More Sleep
FOMO is real, so staying up late because we unconsciously think we might miss something is a habit that so many of us have. In return, however, many of us are also walking around drained and perpetually tired. 7+ hours of sleep a day is recommended for adults, so if you haven’t been getting that, nows the time to change that habit. 1-2 hours before bedtime, put down all phones and computer, stretch or meditate, and prepare yourself for bed. Some people like to shower and enjoy a cup of chamomile tea as well. It may take a moment to get used to this night routine, but after awhile, your body will adjust and you should be getting more sleep in no time.

Developing an overall healthier lifestyle is a journey and takes time, so don’t feel bad if you don’t get it right all of the time. Every day is a new day, so take your time and ease into it. Your health will thank you for it!

Summer body loading in 3, 2, 1…. but no, seriously! Now that the weather is starting to warm up and Summer is literally knocking on its door, what better time to get outdoors to move your body? Going to the gym to workout is cool and all, but working out outdoors in the elements so that you can also enjoy the sun and nature can’t be beat! If you’ve been needing a boost to help you get inspired to workout, I wanted to share 3 fun ways to move your body this Summer!

3 Fun Ways To Move Your Body This Summer

Zumba Class with David Quarles, IV
David is known as the Zumba king around Memphis, so taking one of his classes is a MUST this Summer! He teaches weekly Zoom classes that can be done in the comfort of your home (and no, you don’t have to turn on your camera if you don’t want to), but now that it’s safer to gather in groups outdoors, he will be hosting in-person classes periodically this Summer! Over the weekend he partnered with Athleta in Saddle Creek for a class, so expect to see him popping up at the center over the next few months. Click here to find out when he will be teaching a class, but word to the wise: his classes are so fun that you think they’re too easy, but your body will start to FEEL IT about 30 minutes after the class is done. Burns so good!

Bike Riding at Shelby Farms
