How to Build Good Fitness Habits

Building positive habits can be challenging. Any positive change requires some effort, consistency, and a positive and supportive environment.

Luckily for all of us, there are some easy steps we can take to stick with positive behaviors and make lasting changes that not only bring about health benefits but also make us more confident, energetic, and excited.

1. Begin With Small Changes

A lot of newcomers to fitness try to make drastic lifestyle changes from the get-go. After all, being more intense delivers positive results quickly.

But that’s not the best course of action in most cases because building sound habits takes time. You have to lay the foundation and slowly build them up. Otherwise, you risk burning yourself out and giving up soon after.

Focus on consistency rather than intensity in the beginning. Start with one or two healthy meals every day. Do only two to three workouts every week.

You can always scale-up your efforts later. But you first need to gain momentum.

2. Don’t Dwell on Slip-Ups; Get Back On Track Quickly

People from all walks of life slip-up with their habits, with their work, and with their schedules. Slipping up is a normal part of life, especially if you’re new to fitness.

So, rather than dwell on a slip-up (a missed workout, an unhealthy meal, or something else), get back on track immediately.

If you miss a workout, get back to the gym for your next one. Same goes for an unhealthy meal. Sure, you’ve had it. Get back to a healthy diet right away. Don’t mess up twice in a row.

This is not to say that you should expect to fail, but make a plan to overcome it quickly. 

3. Envelop Yourself In The Right Environment
