“I want to be healthy and stay in shape”
This week we’re helping you take action on what it means to be healthy and stay in shape.
Yesterday, the topic of discussion was EAT. What habits are you reinforcing to eat better to achieve the #1 goal we all have: “Be healthy and in shape!” Today, let’s create a habit in the MOVE category.
As a reminder, we categorize our health into these 5 areas:
Today, let’s create a habit in the MOVE category.
Day 2: MOVE:
What habits can you create that will help you improve your overall movement? Here is a list of example habits. Don’t limit yourself to these actions and habits, rather use this as a brainstorming tool!
- Attend 15 classes per month
- Stretch for 10 minutes in the morning
- Stretch for 10 minutes in the evening
- Schedule 5 workouts per week
- Participate in an intramural activity
- Spend 5 minutes after CrossFit class working on a weakness
- Track my perceived intensity during workouts
- Go for a lunch walk daily
- Go for a run 2x per week
- Take 4, 5 minute stretching breaks in my day
- Practice a new skill after every class
- Perform 3 fitness Benchmarks per month
- Schedule morning workouts
Which one sticks out to you? Or is there another habit you can think of that you can measure and track?
Your task: pick one habit for the next 90 days. Create a way to track your behavior. Use an excel spreadsheet, app on your phone, or a check box on your calendar.
Remember, the most important part is tracking your behavior and measuring it over time. “What gets measured gets improved” is true! So create a metric to track and a way to measure your progress over time!
