Achieving a healthy lifestyle is all about BALANCE. When your days get hectic and you feel stuck, following a routine can lead to a happier and more productive life. Scheduling time for workouts, rest, and relaxation is essential for prioritizing self-care. Check out our tips and find a routine that works for you.
WORKOUT
Set Goals: Whether it is going for a walk, run, lifting weights or pilates class, keep it simple and achievable.
Schedule It: Treat your workouts like an important meeting or appointment. Schedule them into your calendar and stick to the plan. Consistency is key to seeing progress and making exercise a habit.
Switch It Up: You don't have to do the same workout every day, instead try to incorporate a variety of exercises into your routine. Not only will this keep your workout routine well rounded but it will keep you motivated.

REST
Listen to Your Body: Rest is just as important as exercise. It allows your body to recover and recharge. When you feel fatigued take a rest day, so you are not over straining your body.
Don't Restrict: If you crave a sweet treat at the end of a long day or a glass of wine, go ahead and enjoy it. Over-restricting yourself can lead to breaking your routine. Reward yourself for your hard work and maintain a balanced approach to self-care.
Schedule Downtime: Just as you plan your workouts, allocate time for relaxation and recharging after a busy day or week.

RELAX
Prioritize Your Zzz's: Create a bedtime routine that helps you unwind, such as reading a book or taking a warm bath. This will prepare your mind and body for restful sleep.
Create a Cozy Space: Having an area in your home where you can escape and decompress is essential. Whether you are planning on catching up on your favorite show, scrolling on instagram or simply lounging.
Find Joy in Simple Pleasures: Dedicate time to engage in activities that you genuinely enjoy, like trying a new recipe, going for a walk, or painting. Finding something that brings you joy helps you unwind and de-stress.
