Over my years in the fitness industry, I've seen people really overcomplicate their health and wellness journey, from super-specific foods to cook and eat at certain times, to detailed workout routines that were too extreme to maintain long term.

Here's a shortlist of Do's and Dont's to help you on your own wellness path...

 1-If you don't like it, don't do it.

Aside from when I was a kid, I've never liked cycling. But I got certified as an instructor because it was the hot thing. I hated it, every single second of it. My body doesn't like to cycle. I'd rather put a bike on my shoulder and run up a hill than cycle up a hill. No biking for me = check!

 2-If you aren't where you want to be- do something about it!

7 years ago I was 20 lbs heavier than I am now and felt AWFUL in my own skin. I had had enough. I faced the scale and was dedicated to logging on myfitnesspal until I lost the weight. Taking action is the only way something is going to change, complaining about it doesn't ever change a thing.

3-Try something different.

I can't tell you how many clients have said over the years, xyz used to work for weight loss and it doesn't anymore.

This could go towards movement or your food. There are endless videos you can try on YouTube- zumba, yoga, bodyweight workouts, walking at home, dance and the list goes on and on. Point is, our bodies are meant to move- find something that brings a smile to your face and do it daily for 10 minutes. Start there and see what happens.

You CAN change your health by changing things up! How you want to feel in your body day in and day out is 100% up to you. It's a daily decision. I'd LOVE to know if this inspires you to try something new!
