What might they have for breakfast? Chances are it wouldn\u2019t be sugary cereal or a huge fried breakfast every day.

Thinking this through and writing down some of your thoughts before you start might help when things get tough (which they probably will at some point; after all if it took no effort to get in amazing shape then everyone would do it!)<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9151f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f9151f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Set up your goals<\/h5><p>If your ultimate aim is to lose 20kg then you might think you have only 1 goal. However, research (and our experience) shows that we need to break down any large goal into smaller , more achievable parts in order to feel good along the way and cement our commitment. So, if your goal is to lose 20kg, your first goal could be to lose 2kg. Then 5kg and so on, until one day you realise you\u2019ve reached your goal.If you want to \u2018start exercising\u2019, make it something tangible such as 3-4 gym sessions per week. Schedule them into your calendar as if they were business meetings and tick them off each time. Once you\u2019ve completed one week aim to do 3 sessions per week for a month, then 3 months.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8ce762 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a8ce762\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Plan to fail<\/h5><p>This isn\u2019t exactly what we mean, but almost everyone who has a weight loss or fitness goal will fall off the wagon at some point. Whether you plan to eat salad at a birthday party and end up devouring 3 slices of cake, miss a week of the gym due to work commitments or reach one of your interim goals and celebrate by drinking half a bottle of wine, the point is you need to have a plan for what to do when things don\u2019t go exactly to plan.Eating or drinking an extra 500 calories on one day is one thing, but the real key to success is not letting that turn into, \u201cOh well, I\u2019ve ruined everything, I may as well give up\u201d and then spending the rest of the week feeling guilty, eating badly and ultimately eating an extra 10,000 calories. Remember consistency always trumps perfection, so learning how to be flexible while sticking to your plan is a very useful life skill to have in your back pocket.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e299a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5e299a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Find healthy rewards<\/h5><p>If you reach your goal, or one of your smaller milestones along the way, we would encourage you to mark the occasion or celebrate in some way. However, because you\u2019ve broken down your goal into small achievable parts, you will be celebrating these fairly regularly. So it would not be a good idea to reward yourself with a 12 course dinner or big night out each time. Try to find rewards for yourself that might not be food or drink related, perhaps a massage or spa day, some new fitness clothing or tickets to the theatre.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb20d63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eb20d63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Action creates motivation, not the other way around<\/h5><p>Too many of us sit around and wait to feel motivated before we take action, but in fact just getting up and starting to do the task will motivate us to keep going. If you wake up in the morning and lie in bed thinking \u201cI really should get up and go for a run\u201d, then you\u2019re already procrastinating.Try just getting up before even touching your phone and putting your workout clothes on even while you\u2019re still half asleep.

If you have a huge spontaneous lunch, make sure you have a light and healthy dinner. If you don\u2019t make it to the gym one day then go first thing the next morning. It\u2019s much easier to get back on track the less time you spend off!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d2cde1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d2cde1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Something is always better than nothing<\/h5><p>Can\u2019t fit your hour at the gym in? Do 20 minutes instead. Forgot your running shoes? Take the time to meditate or stretch, or find another way to move your body. Busy lives and outside commitments mean that even the best plans sometimes become impossible to carry out, but if we learn to be flexible (see previous points) and do the best we can then we can still reach our goals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-383cc8c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"383cc8c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Do something you enjoy<\/h5><p>You may never have exercised before, so we would encourage you to try absolutely any kind of sport or activity that gets you out of breath and your muscles working, to find one that you enjoy (and will therefore stick to).Group fitness classes are a lot of fun for some people, while others prefer to lift weights alone. If you are very overweight then walking might be enough for you to begin with, as well as some resistance band work. As long as you have some form of resistance training and some form of cardiovascular exercise, the fitness world is your oyster!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-925aeb3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"925aeb3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Recruit a buddy\u00a0<\/h5><p>If you have planned to go for a brisk walk or jog at 6am and it looks a little overcast, you are less likely to cancel if you\u2019ve arranged to meet someone else. We humans seem far more worried about letting another person down than we do ourselves so we can use this to our advantage. Buddies can help hold us accountable and, if you and your friend share similar goals then you can also discuss recipes, try a new sport together or even just vent to each other if you are having a difficult day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82d6254 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"82d6254\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Move at the weekend<\/h5><p>Many people pick gyms near their place of work so they can workout at lunchtime or before\/ after work. But that means they end up being more sedentary at the weekend, and if they go to the gym 3 days per week that means they end up having more non-training days than training days!Every weekend, try to pick some kind of activity that you wouldn\u2019t usually do; try a mountain bike ride, kayaking with the family, zip-lining, a dance class or even a hiking trail. Getting outside reduces stress, and doing something active that lasts a few hours will mean you sleep better, feel happier, create a stronger bond with the people you go with and even burn more calories!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d45cb2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5d45cb2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Remember to schedule rest days<\/h5><p>Yes, we would like you to move more, but not all the time. Recovery time is just as important, if not more so, than the time spent exercising. Your body needs time to recover from the stress of exercise, and it is during recovery time that muscles are built. A rest day doesn\u2019t mean lying on the couch though; you can still get your 10,000 steps in. It simply means a day off from strength training or anything that counts as a lot of exertion. On these days (one or maybe 2 days each week), try a beach walk, some yoga or stretching.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c3e743 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7c3e743\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Prioritise your sleep<\/h5><p>Sleep is vastly underestimated by those who are not yet where they want to be in terms of health and fitness or weight loss, possibly because it seems counterintuitive that sleeping can help you reach your goals faster.Not getting enough sleep contributes to eating more, feeling more sad or irritable and even food cravings as you seek comfort from feeling tired.
