3 step to avoid coming up short. [Never fail at your health routine again!]
Recently someone was telling me about where they often fall short when it comes to a new health habit… well - guess what? They’re not the only one! 😊
We may have the best intentions… but going back to our old ways is easy to do. I get it… I’ve fallen back into old habits before too.
However, when I watch the patterns of the last 15+ years here’s 3 tips I’ve found really useful:
3 movements we use regularly to help enhance the strength of the back. Part 1 @gt_athletics Great to enhance the muscles you don’t necessarily see in the mirror but are important to help protect you in your day to day.Movement 1 - the letter Y on the bench.Great to be used as an accessory movement , to help support the other movements you do.Targeting the upper back, shoulders and mid-lower trap muscles.#georgetownontario #chiropractor #fitness #crossfit #gtathletics #chiropractic #backpain #gymlife #tndo
It can be easier to maintain, than attain. (That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t start, it’s never too late to start. - but it’s important to keep this in mond after laying all the ground work for your new habit).

Don’t let this valuable time be all down time.
Here’s some food for thought.
And how you too can get it all done.
Here's 6 ways to take advantage of your weekend when it comes to your health routine (in no particular order).
1) Wake up and walk, take a coffee with you.
2) Park as far as you can when running your errands. Simply step more.
3) Like working out? Take advantage of a weekend day a workout first thing in the morning (maybe before the kids are awake) :)
4) Like to eat dessert? Plan to have one (or two) on the weekend, just ensure you still consume your protein and other good foods FIRST.
5) Have a regular walking routine? Make it a social thing - meet up with friends.
6) Bed time routine (aka the recovery part) - keep your bedtime as close to your weekday time as possible (ideally 30 minutes or less).
Two things I tell myself when I’m thinking I don’t have the time.
A) “I’m lying”
B ) “it’s just not important, right now”
