Fix It Up: 21 Days to Stronger You Series - Day 5

Day 5: Excuses, Meet Reality

Too tired to work out? Funny how that works—because NOT working out is what kept me tired.💡

The truth? I used to let excuses run my life. “I’m too busy,” “I’m too tired,” “I’ll start tomorrow.” But one day, I realized those excuses were holding me back from feeling my best. So, I showed up anyway—and WOW, the energy boost is real! 💪

What excuse are you leaving behind today? Drop it below and let’s crush it together! 🚀

... Read moreIn the pursuit of fitness, we often find ourselves confronting various excuses that deter us from our goals. Excuses such as "I don’t have time" or "I’m too exhausted" may seem valid, but they can lead to a cycle of inactivity and disappointment. The reality is that exercising regularly can actually increase your energy levels and improve your mood. The physical and mental benefits of staying active are invaluable. In Day 5 of the Fix It Up: 21 Days to a Stronger You Series, we challenge you to identify and leave your excuses behind. Setting realistic goals and scheduling workouts as non-negotiable appointments can help you prioritize your health. Engaging with a supportive community can also provide the motivation needed to overcome these mental barriers. Consider journaling your fitness journey or sharing your progress with friends. Celebrate small victories, which can significantly enhance your commitment and accountability. Remember, the journey to fitness is not a sprint but a marathon, which requires patience and resilience. Let’s focus on consistency and riding the wave of self-improvement! Joining discussions with hashtags like #ExcusesDontWin and #NoMoreExcuses can connect you with others who are also aiming for personal growth. Together, we can turn fitness aspirations into reality.

2 CUES TO FIX YOUR PLANK
Although it may make your booty look better, arching your back in your plank is an ineffective and unsafe form. Not only does dropping your low back (and therefore dropping your core, leaving your glutes unengaged and lower ribs protruding) not work your core properly, but it will also cause low b
