7 Tricks to Achieve Fitness Goals

It is important to note that achieving fitness goals is not always easy. It can be hard to find the motivation and willpower to keep going, especially when you are feeling tired or sore.

However, there are some tricks that can help you stay on your path to fitness success. Here are seven tricks that will help you achieve your fitness goals:

Find a workout buddy

Working out is not always the most enjoyable activity. It can be hard to stay motivated and get into a routine. That is why it helps to have a workout buddy. Having someone else there with you who is also trying to stay fit can help motivate you and keep you on track. You will also have someone there who understands what you are going through and can offer support when needed.

Start small

There are two main reasons why starting small is the best way to achieve fitness goals. The first reason is that it's easier to start with a small goal rather than a big one. When you start small, you can focus on the smaller tasks and slowly work your way up. The second reason is that it's more sustainable to work towards a smaller goal, instead of giving up after only a few days or weeks of working towards your goal.

Create a workout playlist

A workout playlist is a compilation of songs that can help you get energized, moving, and motivated. There is no right or wrong way to create a workout playlist. It all depends on what you like, what genres you prefer, and the type of activity that you are doing.

Reward yourself

The best way to motivate yourself to exercise is to reward yourself for achieving your fitness goals. It’s important that the rewards are realistic and achievable, otherwise you will just end up feeling disappointed.

Make fitness fun by making it social

Talk about your fitness goals with others who are also working towards their goals and make it a point to meet up at least once per week for some healthy competition!

For example, someone might offer $20 worth of gift cards to their favorite restaurant as a prize for completing their workout routine three times in one week. Such an incentive would make working out more enjoyable and rewarding.

Subscribe to meal prep service if you don’t have time

Having a healthy diet is the key to achieving fitness goals. But it can be difficult to maintain a balanced diet, especially when you don't have time to prepare meals in advance.

Meal prep delivery service like Macrobite is the answer for people who want to eat healthy but don’t have time for cooking or grocery shopping. It helps them save time and money.

Use the "don't break the chain" trick

The don't break the chain trick is a simple but effective method for achieving fitness goals. It's all about keeping your motivation up by not breaking the chain of consecutive days that you work out.

It's important to note that this technique has helped many people achieve their fitness goals and it can help you too. The trick is to keep a tally of how many consecutive days you have gone without breaking your chain. Find an object that will remind you of your goal and put it somewhere where it will be seen every day, such as on your desk or on the refrigerator door handle.

The common denominator for all these tricks is their ability to help you stay motivated. If you are not motivated, it becomes difficult to stick with any fitness routine. Motivation is key to achieving your fitness goals.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
