Just 5 Minutes Can Change Everything

Do you know one of the TOP reasons people have for NOT being able to commit to a regular fitness routine?

It’s because they say they “don’t have enough time.”

So in this email, I’m going to break down some ways you can find that time!

This quote pretty much sums up why this matters:

If you don’t make time for your wellness, eventually you will have to make time for your illness.

Even committing to JUST 5 MINUTES can help transform your routine. Over time, after that 5 minutes takes root, it can grow to 30 minutes that you enjoy and look forward to.

10 Ways to Find Time for Your Fitness

Get up first thing in the morning and go for a walk or do a cardio session.
Take a walk or do a workout during your lunch break.
Do strength exercises while watching TV at night (planks, bridges, squats, etc.).
Turn household chores into a cardio session by turning up the music and moving fast enough to get your heart rate up.
Turn your date nights into “fun” nights – go skating, hit the batting cage, go for a bike ride, or be active! (The same goes for family activity days.)
Have a plan for your nutrition AND your workouts. When you have a plan in place, following it is a no-brainer!
Make an appointment with your calendar every week and block time for your health & fitness into your schedule (workouts, meal planning, shopping, & prep, etc.)
Find things you love – whether it’s food choices or exercise choices. You’ll start looking forward to it.
Get support and accountability either in-person or online. Sometimes all you need is a cheerleader.
Wear a fitness tracker and set daily movement goals. Don’t go to bed until you meet those goals!

Another way to make the most of your time:

Hire an experienced Coach who can create a plan that works with your lifestyle, helps keep you motivated, and provides accountability and support every step of the way.

Our Lean Body 4 Life was created to help busy people just like YOU reach their body goals by helping you look better, feel better and have more energy to do the things you love..

Want to know more? Schedule Your Complimentary Session!

Quick assignment for today: sneak away for just 5 minutes and take action (stretch, crank out a set or two of push-ups/lunges, go for a brisk walk … just do ONE THING). You will feel accomplished afterward!

Committed to your health,

The Missing Piece of Your Fat Loss After 40 Success

The Missing Piece of Your Fat Loss After 40 Success Is this why your hormones are out of whack...? Macros. Strength training. These are undoubtedly crucial components of a successful fitness journey. But there's one more piece to the puzzle that often gets overlooked: sleep. Without sufficient sleep, even the most dedicated workout routines and carefully planned diets can fall short. When you're sleep-deprived, your body's hormones, which regulate metabolism and appetite, can become imbalanced. This can lead to increased cravings, reduced energy levels, and slower weight loss. So, how much sleep do you need? Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Create a relaxing bedtime routine, ensure your sleep environment is dark and quiet, and limit screen time before bed. By prioritizing sleep, you'll support your body's ability to recover from workouts, burn fat, and build muscle. So, next time you're feeling frustrated with your fitness progress, consider whethe...
