Imagine how different your life would be if you made 52 fitness changes. Of course, most of us cannot even imagine such a thing. It would be too much.
But what if you broke that down? Instead of making 52 changes at one time, you made one change per week?
Now that sounds a bit more doable, doesn’t it? Well that is going to be my challenge for you in the next five blogs. I am going to provide a breakdown of changes you can make each week.
My suggestion is that you print these blogs, so you have them on hand. Then start next week with making just one change. You can do it in the order I give, or switch things up.
So let’s get started right away. This first blog is going to challenge you to make five changes. Again, these are designed to be done on a weekly basis.
Week 1 change is to replace your soda, milk, juice or whatever beverage you drink at meal times with water. So in that first week, all you do is replace your mealtime beverages with water. Simple enough, right?
Week 2 change is to start walking five days a week for at least 15 minutes. If you need a walking buddy, ask a family member or friend. Walking is the first step toward becoming more physically active.
Week 3 change is to cook at least five healthy meals each week. This is the week you stop bad habits such as eating out every-other-day or running through the McDonald’s drive-through three times a week.
Week 4 change is committing to getting at least seven to eight hours of sleep. Sleep deprivation can cause serious health problems and make it difficult to engage in exercise or other physical activities. It is important that you get enough sleep each night.
Week 5 change is to start eating breakfast if you don’t already. This is an important meal to kick-start your day. But make sure you are making healthy choices.
After five weeks you will have already started to create a healthier lifestyle. But you will also notice a difference.
In my next blog we will look at the next five weeks and implement new changes.
