What Matters Most is CONSISTENCY

Embracing Strength and Fitness: A Guide for Mature Women

Today, I want to talk about the importance of being consistent in your fitness journey as you gracefully embrace aging. Taking care of your body and mind is crucial at every stage of life, and it becomes even more essential as you mature.

The most important gift you can give yourself is consistency. Making time for your well-being every day is the key to achieving long-lasting results. The cumulative effort leads to significant and positive changes in your body and mind. Investing just 30 to 60 minutes per day in activities you enjoy is a valuable gift to yourself for your longevity.

Here are a few tips to keep you consistent in your daily life:

1. Find activities you enjoy. Whether it's dancing, swimming, yoga, or strength training, discovering what brings you joy and fulfillment is invaluable.

2. Keep the time consistent. Incorporating your fitness routine into your daily schedule helps form a habit that supports your overall well-being.

3. Add it to your calendar. Treat your fitness time as a non-negotiable appointment, just like any other important commitment in your schedule.

4. Invite a friend. Sharing your fitness journey with a friend not only adds enjoyment but also provides accountability.

5. Make it easy/accessible. Ensuring that your workout space or equipment is easily accessible increases the likelihood of maintaining consistency.

6. Seek accountability. Whether it's a personal trainer, a group class, or a fitness community, having accountability partners aids in staying focused and motivated.

7. Celebrate wins. Every small step forward is a noteworthy achievement and deserves recognition.

8. Start small. Focus on being consistent for 3 days, then focus on being consistent for a week, then 10 days, and so on. Setting too big of a goal at the start can feel daunting. Set small attainable goals and incrementally increase from there.

9.Enjoy the journey. Embrace the process and find joy in the moments of movement and strength-building.

10. Understand the impact on your long-term health. Prioritizing your fitness not only benefits yourself but also enhances your ability to support and care for the people you love.

By prioritizing your health, you equip yourself to show up for others with more energy, strength, and gratitude. Commit to aging with strength and vitality through movement and strength training. Remember, you are training to be strong, not skinny.

In addition to exercise, it's crucial to support your strength and movement through nutrition. Eating to fuel and nourish your body is an essential component of your fitness journey. Strong muscles create strong joints, and the mind-muscle connection during exercise helps maintain mental acuity. Exercise supports healthy cognitive function, aiding you in aging gracefully.

So, let's get you moving for the life you want. Embracing consistency in your fitness journey will undoubtedly lead to a life filled with energy, strength, and joy.
