Does the idea of starting a fitness journey feel overwhelming? Does it make you think of an intense workout, complicated diet, and gym memberships you will never use?
If so, you're not alone. The truth is, starting is the hardest part. But it doesn't have to be complicated.
Welcome to The Fitness Hub, where we believe in taking simple, practical steps. In this first post, I'm sharing 5 easy things you can do today to begin your journey.
No gym required.
👉 Define Your Why
There is a saying that you must have a relevant reason to be consistently trying to achieve your goal; without a cause, you don't have any interest or purpose to continue on the path of, let's say, fitness. Your Why is your motivation for tough days. It's not just 'I want to lose 10kgs.' It can be like
- I want to have more energy to play with my kids/nephew.
- I want to be able to walk up the stairs without feelings out of breath.
- I want to improve my sleep and feel less stressed from my studies/work.
- I want to be the strongest of all
- I want to win a tournement and show off about it in front of my freinds, family, etc.
- I want to complete a 800 meter run to become flexible or fit enough to do some of the basic strenght work if needed.
And so, take your time and decide what " why can be for you, and if you wish, you can write it on a piece of paper and hide it somewhere you can't see it. This will be a personal reminder for the days when you need encouragement.
👍 Start Small
👉 Meditation
Try meditating for a while or as long as you can; it helps you relax and know yourself, and can make you calm for some time.
Just make 10-20 minutes from your busy schedule, and after that, you can do whatever you are doing/going to do
👉 Just Add Water
This is the simplest, most effective health change anyone can make, starting immediately. It boosts energy, helps skin, builds muscle, and supports metabolism.
You can keep water in a bottle/jar to remind you to drink water all day, or you will forget to drink even one sip of water in the whole day, just surviving from the water content of food you were taking recently just like the insect in the desert (I suppose it was a insect) who survive only on the water content of the food he/she was eating.
👉 Be Kind To Yourself
You will miss a day. You will eat junk food. This is not a failure; it is part of the process.
A healthy lifestyle is not about perfection. It's about consistency. If you have a bad meal, don't let it become a bad day or a bad week. Your next meal is a fresh start. If you miss a workout, just make sure you do the next one. One missed day is an accident; two missed days are the start of a new, bad habit. Just don't let it be two.
👉 Conclusion
