Your health and fitness goals don’t always have to be about fat loss.
Your health and fitness goals don’t always have to be about fat loss.
While I strongly promote educating yourself on how to lose fat sustainably with high-quality information, healthy habits and a long term plan, I also believe in setting a variety of goals that go beyond the scale and the measurements.
It’s easy to focus on “losing a few kilos” every time you set a new goal, but when that’s all you think about, you miss out on seeing how health and fitness can benefit your life beyond just changing your body shape.
What if you started focusing on what you’d like to gain instead?
Imagine being able to hike up a hill with a beautiful view you’ve always wanted to see, and having the power in your legs to be able to reach the top.
Or being strong enough to carry all your groceries in one trip, feeling a sense of accomplishment as you walk through the door.
Or hitting a personal best on an exercise that you never thought possible for yourself, and proving to yourself you can do it!
Or feeling comfortable and accepting in your own body to wear the cute gym shorts, or the sleeveless top on a night out, and feel confident and empowered?
These are the kinds of goals that truly enrich your life.
When you set goals beyond just fat loss, your journey towards health and fitness gains so much more meaning.
It becomes about building strength, resilience, and self-confidence. It’s about creating a lifestyle that supports your well-being, both physically and mentally.
And most importantly, it’s about feeling more at home in your body, every single day.
