When it comes to healthy eating and fitness routines, many people are looking to form new habits or re-form habits that may have been lost during the pandemic.
Stephen Hitt of Crossfit Industrious shares some tips for starting fresh:
- Stay away from popular “fad” diets. They’re often not sustainable and can lead to a scarcity mindset.
- Focus on an abundance mindset and remember consistency is key. Add in fruits and vegetables to your diet, and avoid skipping meals.
- The abundance mindset and gradual changes can help you get started without immediately putting you in a restriction or scarcity mindset.
As for fitness, Hitt says the key is to start small. Everyone is coming into their fitness journey at a different place, so take into account where you are and don’t do too much too soon.
“I do recommend choosing an environment that you feel is going to both motivate you and keep you safe,” Hitt said. “And an environment that you feel you can connect with.”
