Photo 1 of 3

Whether you’ve taken a long break from the gym or have never really been that into fitness, it’s never too late to start getting back into shape. Some people do it for aesthetic reasons, but the top reason is that movement is one of the best forms of self-care. Getting your body in shape makes you feel better, and there are some tips to help make that journey.

1.Stay honest and accountable

Staying accountable and being honest with yourself is the first step. Be honest about what works best for you. Are you naturally a morning person who prefers to work out in the AM? Or do you prefer playing sports or doing an activity like swimming to a more structured workout in a gym environment? This honesty extends to your diet as well – rather than trying to fully cut out guilty pleasures, allow yourself treats in small portions but try to establish generally healthy habits.

2. Be realistic

Although it might be tempting to find shortcuts to lose 20 pounds in a matter of days, slow and steady wins the race, and being unrealistic can also be downright dangerous. Don’t set an insane weight loss goal or attempt to go cold turkey from certain entire food groups. Moderation is key, and there’s actually some proof that overly obsessing over a diet can backfire. Instead, set attainable goals. This can be committing to a certain amount of physical activity per week or having a smaller dessert portion than normal. You can always set a meeting with a personal trainer or nutritionist for more guidance regarding your goals.
