Staying healthy doesn’t have to be complicated.

But let’s be honest, sticking to a workout routine is much easier said than done – especially when you’ve got little people to look after.

Getting caught up in life and putting your fitness goals on the back burner for a few days or weeks is easy. Many of us struggle with staying committed to fitness goals, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

If you’ve just started on your fitness journey or are in need of a bit of a boost, in this collaborative post here are five easy ways to stick to your fitness goals.

5 easy ways to stick to your fitness goals

1. Track your progress

If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there? Keeping a fitness journal is a great way to track your progress toward your fitness goals. Keep track of the type of exercises you’re doing, your progress in each, and any adjustments you might need to make.

That way, you can quickly look back at your progress and see what areas you need to work on, which will help you stay on track. Many apps and websites will also track your progress and allow you to set goals and track your calories and macros, which is great if you’re trying to lose weight. Seeing your results and improvements will keep you motivated and help you stay on track.

2. Set small goals

There are many benefits when you set your fitness goals high, but don’t be discouraged if you don’t reach your goals immediately. Many people set their expectations too high and give up after a few weeks. Setting small, easily achievable goals will make you more likely to succeed.

Make sure you push yourself but don’t be afraid to re-evaluate if something is too difficult. For example, if your resolution is to go to the gym three times a week, set a goal to go twice a week for the first month. Once you’ve reached your goal, set a new one. This is a great way to stay consistent and avoid getting discouraged.

3. Add fitness supplements for support

Healthy supplements can help boost your energy and improve focus, which is essential to achieving your health and fitness goals. Reading online reviews, such as these Gundry MD reviews, can help you find the supplements best suited to your needs. They don’t have to be expensive and can be bought online here or at your local pharmacy. If you’re trying to increase your energy and focus, add a pre-workout supplement to your routine. If you’re trying to lose weight, add a diet supplement to your routine that helps curb your appetite and promotes weight loss.

4. Find an exercise you enjoy

The best way to stay consistent in your fitness goals is to find an exercise you enjoy. Try to find exercises you enjoy and mix them up every now and then. You may want to start by trying yoga, pilates, or strength training. Many other activities, like rock climbing, hiking, or walking, can count as exercise. If you hate going to the gym, try joining a sports team or outdoor activity. You can also challenge yourself by upping your current routine and setting new fitness goals.

5. Find an accountability partner

Having an accountability partner can make all the difference in staying committed to your fitness goals. Find a friend or family member who shares your fitness goals and holds you both accountable. Find someone in a similar fitness level as you so you can push each other and share tips and advice that works for you. Having someone you can vent to, who understands what you’re going through, makes sticking to your routine much easier. Find someone who lives near you so you can meet up and work out with them, or at least talk to them a few times a week to keep each other motivated.
