Motivation Monday !

Motivation Monday !

By starting the week on a positive note, you can feel more energized and focused, which can help you tackle your goals and challenges with more enthusiasm and confidence. How do you keep yourself motivated throughout the week ? I usually do spin class followed my 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna. The sauna is a great way to unwind and de-stress after a long day. The heat can help relieve tension in your muscles and improve circulation throughout your body. Additionally, spending time in the sauna can help you detoxify your body, as sweating helps eliminate toxins. Saunas have also been shown to boost your immune system, as the heat can help stimulate the production of white blood cells. Overall, the sauna can be a great way to improve your physical and mental health. Another way I keep myself motivated throughout the week is meal prepping. Meal prepping can help you save time and money. It also helps you make healthier choices and control portion sizes. Plus, having pre-made meals on hand can reduce stress and make it easier to stick to a healthy eating plan. Wishing everyone a happy & healthy week !

I can’t believe we are already at the end of May this has been my most active month so far this year I kicked of the beginning of the month with a 5k , I rode over 60 miles on my bike and with May being national mental health awareness month , I wanted to talk about how I manage my mental health through physical activity. As a person who has worked out consistently for the last decade I have learned so much about myself and my body through fitness , while weight loss is one of the the main goals , working out does so much for my mental health as well , I experience less brain fog and clearer thoughts when I am consistently working out. I experience an automatic boost in my mood , there’s been so many times I was having a bad day and simply going for a walk or light jog helped me care less about what was bothering me. Building up my stamina and endurance is also another major benefit for me , knowing I can go longer and work harder than my last workout is something I look forward to.
