When I began my own fitness journey I made a lot of mistakes and one of them was not writing down how everything started. I’m talking more about measurements, goals, workouts and less about the emotions here. A fitness journal is like a diary but for fitness related information. Below, you’ll find a few tips on how to start writing your journal, why you should do it and how you can measure yourself.

If you are taking the time and reading this whole article means you are new to working out or just thinking about incorporating fitness into your lifestyle – which is amazing! Congratulations on making this decision and for taking a step in the right direction. I’m sure you’ve already heard about the benefits you can receive if you live an active and healthy lifestyle. From an improvement in your mood and decreased feelings of depression, anxiety and stress to better sleep quality.

Now we are getting to the trickier and a little bit more overwhelming part: Where and how do I start? With all different kind of talk about the magic workout to do or the perfect amount of time to spend in the gym, it’s hard to know where to start. And if you’re not clear about what you’re doing (or why you’re doing it), it can be easy to throw in the towel when things don’t go as planned. Let me help you by giving some general advice I would also give to my clients.

Personally, I love having workout gear which looks beautiful and flattering but it should also be comfortable and easy to take care off. I decided to share a few of my current favorite brands I love to wear.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We all know it, we all do it, every single year, over and over again: new years resolutions. Let’s be honest, how many times were you thinking about something and definitely planning on doing but then ended up not achieving it? I know it’s frustrating and we’ve all been there at some point. Many people actually plan on changing their life: trying to live a healthier and more active lifestyle, or signing up for a gym membership, etc…but when spring comes around the corner, well let’s say it is not our number one priority anymore, right? But how can we change something that actually lasts? Are we able to create new habits and how does it work?
