Follow Progress Not Perfection

Making progress towards fitness goals means hard work and dedication. But it also means working out smart and staying on your routine. If you’re unsure if you are making progress in your fitness journey, consider below points.

Consistency with days — Try to work out at least 3–4 days in a week without having more than a day gap. Create your own work out that mixes with cardio and high intensity training in a way that it will allow to meet your goals. Have a rest day. Recovery is as important as working out.

Make smart and small goals initially to see progress. It will help you to understand your body and its strength. Compare your progress every week to make sure you are improving. Take notes or maintain a diary.

Eating habits — Don’t deprive your body and mind. Start adding 20–30 percent veggies in your meal to develop a taste. Once you start enjoying it, you will automatically see the results in your skin, body and in your fitness routine.

It is all right to have a cheat day or eating a cake or drinking your favorite wine, do not feel sorry for yourself. Enjoy it when you are having those special treats and get back to your routine next day. We all have good and bad days. We all are learning.

Self care — I think, it’s most underrated thing in our life. As a mother, daughter or a partner we are function to care for others.

Take some time off for yourself. Do not feel guilty when you are having a self care time. Reflect your goals, aspirations and take a little “me” time. It is never too late to take care for yourself. Cherish these small moments, keep a journal and write what you’re feeling (happy, ambitious, sad, low or anything).

Always remember, you can concur a mountain with small steps and it is never too late to have a “first” day.
