Get Moving With Ann

I don’t know who needs to hear this today.... But from my own thoughts 💭 swirling in my head to the conversations that I’ve had with people and other coaches last week.... there must be something in the water that is shining light on every insecurity, fear, or failure many of us have had this past week and it’s beating us down.

Let me say this loud and clear...

YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE because you missed a few work outs last week.

YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE because you “fell off” your nutrition. In my world... there is not falling off...just remembering and aligning with what our bodies need to feel their best.

YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE because you {insert whatever you’re telling yourself}.

Ask yourself an empowering question to help you realign with where you want to refocus...

💕 How can I get back on track with my healthy eating?!—- I can make sure my next meal is balanced with healthy carbs, lean protein, veggies and healthy fats. And then take it meal by meal after that.

💕 How can I get back into the routine of working out?! I can grab my husband or kids and go for a walk and then make it a goal to all “push play” together tomorrow.

When we allow ourselves to dwell on what we “messed up” on... we continue down that dreaded rabbit hole of suffering. Who wants to suffer? I sure don’t!

So instead, forgive yourself for whatever happened and focus on how you can move forward in a positive way.

For whoever needed to hear this today... I got you boo 😘

Top tips for starting an exercise 🏋️‍♀️ routine during shut down & sticking with it!!

Starting any new routine is tough but when it comes to exercising for some reason that’s the TOUGHEST routine to stick to for most. Why is that?!

#1 the REASON or WHY for starting isn’t strong enough and #2 we try to make it way to complicated!

So let’s simplify getting started from home👌🏻

1️⃣ Pick a REASON for starting that is NOT tied to the # on the scale! Maybe you want to have enough energy to keep up with your kids or inspire your spouse to start taking care of him/herself. Whatever your WHY is... it needs to be tied to someone else other than YOU! We show up for others way better/consistently than we do for ourselves!

2️⃣ Pick a start date and schedule appointments into your phone for when you will be working out!! I prefer morning that way the rest of my day doesn’t get in the way of me doing it!

3️⃣ Find a routine that easily shows you what to do. YouTube & Pinterest have several options for work out ideas 💡 or if you want a plan that is already put together for 3 week, 6 weeks, 2 months, 90 days.. reach out to me! I’ll hook you up 👊🏻

4️⃣ Find a support system. Grab a friend or family member and hold each other accountable.

5️⃣ Remember progress over perfection. There are going to be days you miss due to life or are sick 😷 and can’t work out . THAT’S OKAY! Doesn’t mean you have to restart from the beginning!!! Just pick up where you left and keep going!

You got this! 👊
