Having a fitness plan, helps keep me balanced and aligned. Everyone’s fitness journey is personal and looks different. Unfortunately fitness and working out can all tie into body image issues, how much do you weigh, and other things that can be negative for people. It’s easy to get them mixed up! When I think about what it means to have be healthy and fit- it’s a lot more than what my body looks like or what the scale says.
Fitness, is about moving my body in ways that make me feel good and eating things that nourish me. It’s also finding out how to balance movement and rest, making sure I eat my vegetables, but also not being afraid to have dessert. There have been times in my life, and still are- that this balance gets out of wack, and one side or the other becomes more prominent. Being able to give myself grace when I am at either end, and coming back to what is important, helps restore the balance. So if you are new to working out, or even if you have been working out for a long time, I find that it is good to stop and reflect on what working out means to you and what you want to accomplish.

Using my fitness plan printable fill in these questions:
- this is the time to define what fitness means to you
- Mine is: Fitness means that I am strong and healthy.
- What is your why for working out?
- Maybe you had a physical and aren’t where you want to be with blood sugar or cholesterol
- Maybe you are sick of feeling tired and like you can’t keep up
- Mine is: Being fit is important to me because I want to be healthy and stay that my whole life.
- This could be something like- run a 5K or half marathon, lifting a certain weight, being able to run around with your child or grandchildren. Whatever it is that you want to accomplish- define it here!
- Really get creative and think about things that you enjoy doing
- You don’t have to go to the gym or lift weights to be fit
- Walking, riding a bike, yoga, pilates, HIIT class, cycling, running, Taekwando,
5. Make a plan:
- Making big plans can feel really exciting, but if you aren’t able to keep them up, it can end up being really discouraging and could lead to quitting all together.
- Start with where you are and give yourself grace! If you don’t have a fitness plan right now, start with something simple, like walking around the block once a day and then build up from there!
- I remember when I couldn’t run a lap around the track at the gym. It really frustrated me, and that frustration became motivation. Pretty soon I was running a lap and then walking a lap, then running 2 laps and then walking a lap. Guess what? I went on to run 3 half marathons- running the entire way! It was something I couldn’t even imagine before, but I worked up to it by starting small.
- Write out- how many days a week do you want to workout, and for how many minutes
- Then put it on your calendar!
