Identify healthy movement and exercise habits as we enter the final phase of the Be Badass with Me mini challenge! In this episode, I give you 15 ideas and tips for choosing a movement, fitness, or exercise habit that works best for you and your goals.
Identify and Implement a Healthy Movement Habit
- Identify where you’re at now, mentally and situationally.
- Identify where you want to go and how you want to feel.
- Review the list you made of general healthy habits or actions that have worked for you before and potential habits that may be worth trying, or trying again.
- Select one healthy movement habit you want to practice that supports where you want to go and how you want to feel.
- Identify what this habit looks like under the worst case scenario, when you’re in crisis mode or just off your normal routine—create your plan B for these moments.
