How Consistency Can Transform Your Fitness Routine

This week’s Fit Girl Magic podcast we’re discussing the power of consistency in achieving your fitness goals. As women, it’s really easy to overcomplicate your pursuit of self-improvement, making it feel like a complicated mathematical equation. But the truth is, you don’t need to have all the elements to align perfectly before you start working towards our goals. It’s about consistent practice and progress, no matter how small.

In this episode, I take a closer look at the benefits of consistency, share success stories, and provide tips for staying on track.

Let’s face it we all have busy lives, and finding time for exercise can be challenging. However, the key to achieving our fitness goals is consistent practice. Improvement takes time and practice, and starting with simple steps can lead to remarkable progress over time. Let’s take the story of one of my clients, who works hard and juggles many responsibilities from home. She often feels like her “me-time” is limited, with work and dinner taking up most of her day. However, by committing to just 20 minutes of exercise at least three times a week, she has already seen a significant improvement in her energy levels and overall well-being.

Scaling back commitments is also essential to avoid burnout. It’s okay to say no to certain things and prioritize your health. Sometimes, this means sacrificing other commitments, but the payoff is always worth it. When it comes to fitness, remember that it’s a journey, and change and trade-offs are necessary to achieve our desired results.

Nutrition is another area where consistency is key. Diet culture has taught us that it was all about following strict food rules, which can leave you feeling guilty and deprived. However, by simplifying our approach to nutrition and being more mindful about our food choices, you can get healthier, more sustainable lifestyle. This was me! And one day I finally just got tired of the obsessing, the 2nd guessing and the micro-managing. I wanted to finally go on vacation and not lose my shit! I went on a 30-day trip and gave myself 3 actions and man that was such a game changer! By making small changes to my diet and being more mindful about my food choices, I was able to maintain a healthy weight without feeling deprived.

It’s crucial to make a mindset shift when it comes to consistency. Instead of fixating on reaching perfection, your focus should be on consistent practice and progress, no matter how small. Whether it’s going for a walk, practicing yoga, or lifting weights, doing something every day is better than doing nothing at all. Elizabeth Gilbert once said, “Whatever is practiced will improve,” and I truly believe that.

Finally, remember that consistency is not always easy, but it’s worth it. Find a support system, whether it’s a workout buddy or an accountability partner, and celebrate your successes, no matter how small. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither are your fitness goals. But with consistent practice and progress, we can achieve our healthiest, happiest selves.

Consistency is the key to achieving our fitness goals, whether it’s in sports, nutrition, or your workouts. It’s important to remember that improvement takes time and practice, and starting with simple steps can lead to significant progress over time. When it comes to fitness, consistency is not always easy, but it’s worth it. By shifting into a mindset that focuses on consistent practice and progress, finding a support system, and celebrating our successes, you can achieve your healthiest, happiest selves. So, who’s ready to consistent practice and let the magic happen!
