Here’s the “catch-22” so many of us run into…
You know that taking a walk or getting in a workout would give you more energy…
But you don’t have enough energy to do it in the first place!
As fitness coaches, our usual solution is to suggest starting small- commit to just 5 minutes a day! Or add in a short walk at a time that works with your busy schedule.
But we want to throw in another tip for you that most people overlook — and that tip is to HYDRATE.
Why drink more water?
Because sometimes, our lack of motivation has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with the fact that our brain needs more water.
Bet you didn’t think we we’re going to say that. 👆
Studies show that 75% of adults in the U.S. are chronically dehydrated and only drink 2.5 cups of water per day on average…
And when we’re dehydrated, we’re more likely to have:
- Less energy
- Low moods
- Trouble focusing
- Fuzzy memory
- Poor reaction time
- And even lower self-esteem (yes, really!)
No wonder it feels harder to get up and take your walk or get that workout in.
So instead of throwing in the towel because you’re just not feeling it…
Drink some water first.
We know you were probably hoping for a more exciting answer…
But it really CAN be that simple!
That’s why when our caring Method3 Fitness coaches work with clients on establishing a new health and fitness routine, we start with other “bite-sized” improvements that build a solid foundation for bigger changes.
Like sticking to a consistent bedtime routine…
Writing in a daily gratitude journal…
Or even simply adding an extra serving of vegetables to their meals.
It doesn’t have to be all or nothing all at once!
In fact, you have a better chance of sticking to the master plan when these “little things” feel as natural to you as brushing your teeth.
