Revaluate Your Diet

At the beginning of your journey you were probably a lot stricter with what you were eating, but now that months or years have passed, you’ve probably become more lenient. This isn’t a bad thing, but it may be derailing your progress. To get back on track, start paying more attention to what you’re eating and make sure you’re drinking lots of water.

Switch Up Your Workouts

Your body has probably gotten used to your workouts, so it’s time to increase the intensity, try something new, or exercise for longer.

Make Sleep a Priority

It’s amazing how much sleep impacts every aspect of your life. When you don’t get enough of it, your body releases the stress hormone cortisol, which can lead to body fat accumulation.

Get Rid of the Scale

We get that the scale is the easiest way to track your progress, but it’s not the most accurate. Instead, look at before and after photos and how your clothes fit you.

Your Ultimate Goal is to Look Good

Looking great can be a perfectly good motivator for embracing the fitness lifestyle, however, it shouldn’t be the only goal. Looking good and being healthy aren’t always the same thing. Becoming and staying healthy and feeling your best is the goal you should always have in mind.

Everything You Read Online is True

No matter how hard someone tries to persuade you that the latest diet is just the thing you need, you should be careful about believing things you read online. We live in the age of information when all the knowledge is freely available, but so are many things that simply aren’t true.

You Need to Be Perfect All the Time

Nobody’s perfect all the time, not even your fitness role models. There will be days when you’ll eat too much and when you won’t feel like working out, and that’s completely okay. Understanding that you’re a human who goes through a lot is important.

TRX Plank

If you are already a pro with the plank, why not add an extra element to challenge your stability. Put your feet in the stirrups of a TRX and hands on the floor to hold the plank. The feet are off the floor so you have to work harder to hold the plank.

Exercise ball Plank

Another variety is to use an exercise ball to put your forearms on, your feet are on the floor, and you have to hold the core to stop the ball moving.

The Military Plank

Start with your arms straight, feet on the ground and your core tight and lift one arm off the ground straight forward in line with your ear. Hold for 2 seconds and swap to the other arm.

Weighted Plank

Adding weight on your back whilst you plank really gives you some added resistance. Whilst the plate is on your back brace your lower back to engage the lower core. Squeeze the glutes and hold for as long as you can. Make sure there are no gaps between the back and the plate.

Morning Push-Ups

No one wants to wake up early to go for a run before you start your day, and you don’t necessarily have to. Although exercise does wake up your brain, so even a bit of blood flow could help you throughout your day. If you’re just starting to exercise, take it slow by doing 5 pushups when you first wake up. If you can’t do real pushups, do them on your knees.

Afternoon Plank

When you feel like you’re crashing a few hours after lunch but there are still a few more hours left in the day, don’t turn to coffee! Drink a cup of water and do a plank. Time yourself and try to do at least one minute. You’ll hardly lose time off your day but the impact will be seen.

Evening Stretch

After a long day, stretch out your muscles. Take just 5 minutes and stretch your legs and arms and over time, you will become more flexible which helps muscle mass.
