Fitness is a very subjective term. It can mean different for different individuals. For someone it can be losing weight, for someone it can be building muscles and having a certain shape, for someone it can be getting stronger, for someone it can be doing household chores and the day-to-day activities without being tired and having any pain, etc.

1. Before starting YOUR own fitness journey, you NEED to know what is your goal and what do you expect from your journey. WHY do you want to start your journey. Having an answer of the ‘WHY’ it gets easy to plan your journey and staying focused and consistent.
2. After knowing what your long-term fitness goal is then you should work on breaking them down to short-term and achievable goals and taking it ONE DAY at a time.
3. Making small changes in your lifestyle like instead of using the lifts, take the stairs instead. This will help you to lead a more active lifestyle. These small changes do make A LOT of difference in your journey.
4. Make sure your NUTRITION is in check. What you put in your body really makes a lot of difference. Depending on what your goals are, plan your meals accordingly. Make sure you get all the nutrients that your body requires to function well.
5. Work on managing your STRESS levels. Stress plays a major role in your day-to-day life and even on your fitness journey. Some amount of stress is good but too much stress can affect your health and your immune system as well.
6. Stay hydrated and make sure you are having about 3-4 litres of water on a daily basis. Knowing the difference between hunger and thirst is very important , so be mindful of the fact that if you are hungry or actually just thirsty.
7. Sleep and Rest are equally important. A LOT of people don’t focus on this but it is very important for a balanced and a healthy life.

These are some very important things to know before you start YOUR journey and these will surely make a difference in your Lifestyle and the way you live your life.

Putting these small efforts will surely make you achieve whatever YOUR fitness goal is. 

Starting with the correct MINDSET is equally important. For example, instead of starting with the thought that ‘I need to lose weight’ start with ‘How can I work on improving my lifestyle’. This is a much more positive outlook and mindset to start with. Make fitness a part of your life.
