Runners High, Post-workout glow, Post-yoga zen.....these are all feelings tied to the effects that movement has on our brain. It's been a challenging year for our health so start small and enjoy the little wins. As little as 3x10 min walks🚶 3x/week can provide the mental and physical health benefits your body needs. 🌠⠀

If you are unsure where to start or are having issues with your home fitness routine, try a Telehealth 💻 Physio session and we can review your movement plan and give you in-home tips to set you up for success and ease any aches/pains. ⭐️⠀

How to make a Habit stick? 🤔⠀
+⠀
Setting goals and resolutions are one thing, but creating a system and changing your habits is another ballgame altogether. As 2021 is upon us and you start to reflect on your health and wellness, finances, friends/family life, work, etc., we wanted to help support you as you embark on new goals for yourself. 🚀⠀
+⠀
+⠀
Try following these habit tips to help keep you on track towards your goals: ⠀
🔹 Define your Motivation: how would achieving this goal make you feel, why do you want it?⠀
🔹 Create systems that set you up for success: i.e. what time and location will you work on this goal, how often, who will keep you accountable?⠀
🔹 Be consistent: show up every day for yourself and your goals if even for a little bit. ⠀
🔹 Remove barriers: increase friction to bad habits like removing the trigger that stimulates you to do it.⠀
🔹 Give yourself an immediate reward: what is immediately rewarded is repeated. Just make sure the reward doesn't negate your goals!⠀
🔹 Track your progress: how do you know if you are on the right track if you don't measure it?⠀
🔹 Never miss twice: breaking a habit doesn't matter if you reclaim the happen quickly.⠀

Share your goals and resolutions with us below - our goal is to help you reach yours! 🙏⠀
