Start slow: trying to get back into a routine now that the sun is getting stronger? Go for a small walk, stretch your legs or back, do one set of squats. Fitness and health is a journey: the key to motivation is to try every day. If it doesn’t work, try again. You got this!

Today’s workout: one mother-daughter walk trying to keep them talking to me (limited success) and a shovelling session cleaning snow from ours and the neighbour’s driveway. #outside #snowday #goodneighbor #motherdaughter #personaltrainer #canada

How do I set aside the time or space I need to make healthy choices? It is a privilege to get to make this decision. But it is a choice we either make or it will be made for us. We take for granted our healthy bodies. Especially during this pandemic, it’s easy to push aside your goals for more appealing options in the moment. Even for 1 minute, ever day, make the choice. Do 10 squats whenever you sit somewhere. Do 10 push-ups against the stairs when you pass them. Take 5 deep... breaths once an hour. Cut up the veggies right when you get home and store in clear containers so you see them first in the fridge. Find yummy protein dips at the grocery store. There are many. And remember to reach out. Everyone needs an outlet even for a quick 10 minute chat. #newmarketpersonaltrainer #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #onlinetrainer #aurorapersonaltrainer #makegoodchoices See more

Let’s talk about options.....looking out at that snowy weather and wondering how to get in your steps? Or how you’re going to make it through this long winter? Embrace your Canadian weather!! Or don’t. The point is, do what feels good. Try a yoga or Pilates class online. Dance around the living room. Bundle up and walk, snowshoe, ski or sled. Then come in for hot tea and cuddles. Or.....try a session of personal training. Or bring a friend or two. Online, outside or hopefully soon, at your house. Customize your workout to achieve your goals and enjoy the journey. Fitness can be fun!!! #fitfun #newmarketmoms #auroramoms #doyou #healthylifestyle #healthyliving

Let’s talk about Accountability: We all struggle with motivation at some point or another. What helps you stay on track with your goals? My friends, clients and fellow coaches help me. When I’m not feeling like staying on track, it really helps me to focus and stay accountable when I see other people out doing their thing, staying fit, eating well, living life. Humans are meant to be social, connect and communicate. Shout out to all you warriors making changes, being accountable and loving your life!! And shout to all of us just trying to get through the day. Every day is a new chance to get passionate, make healthy choices and be the change you want to see out there!! #motivation #womeninspiringwomen #newmarketmoms #auroramoms #fitnessmotivation #fitmom
