Finding Your Fit
by Kathleen Trotter
Finding Your Fit by Kathleen Trotter is perfect for those of us that want to get on track and actually stay on track. Kathleen recognizes that getting there & staying there are two totally different things. The million-dollar question is: how do we find the inner motivation to go from thinking about a healthier lifestyle to actually adopting one? How do we get off the sofa and out the front door? Kathleen addresses these questions and more in Finding Your Fit. Kathleen is a compassionate Trainer and in this guide she gives us her insights into making fitness a lifelong habit. Kathleen provides us with practical tools that allow us to connect the dots between wanting to make a health and fitness change, and actually making it- and staying there when we get there.
Some Tips from the Book:
How Can You Make Movement and Healthier Eating Non-Negotiable?
First, try to implement the concrete steps I outlined in chapter 1. To review:
1. Stop aiming for health and training perfection. Perfection is not possible.
2. Remember the two Cs. Make your workouts convenient so that you do them consistently.
3. Work toward finding your exercise bliss; find things that you LIKE to do so that training no longer feels like an obligation.
4. Find your health dream — the emotional reason WHY you want to move.
5. Flip your negative thoughts; turn “I don’t want to train” into “I am so lucky that I get to train.”
6. Find your inner athlete; learn to be proud of what your body can do, not just of how it looks.
7. Mindfulness + Preparation = Success. Become mindful of your particular health pitfalls so that you can prepare solutions in advance.
