142. Learning to Love Routine and Repetition on Your Fitness Journey


Listen Later

When it comes to our health and fitness, we tend to make it sooo damn complicated. 


This isn’t necessarily our fault. We are constantly bombarded with information from coaches and influencers on social media, to health and wellness companies trying to sell us the ‘next best thing’. It’s exhausting, overwhelming, and honestly..I’m OVER IT!


I’ve been on my fitness journey for over 16 years now, and I’ve learned how powerful REPETITION is.


No, it’s not the *sexiest* topic, or super exciting. It’s actually pretty boring..but that’s not a bad thing either!


We tend to overcomplicate pretty much everything with our health and fitness - simplicity tends to throw us off, because we always think we need to be doing something ‘new’ or ‘different’. Really, we’re just adding more to our plates, but it’s not *actually* helping us in the long-term.


Both your workouts + your nutrition don’t need to be ‘fun and flashy’ all the time - you shouldn’t be looking for a new workout program every month, or new recipes to make every single week! For your meals, find what works best for you and your family, and keep simple staple foods on hand (these have been a game-changer for me over the years)! 


At the end of the day, consistent, repetitive habits ARE what will lead you to success (this is applicable to many areas of your life). Stay focused, stop over complicating everything, and embrace the routine and repetition on your fitness journey!


In this episode, we cover:

  • Why our fitness journey has become so damn complicated
  • Keeping it ‘simple’ with our health & fitness + why we tend to always be looking for the ‘next thing’
  • The one MAJOR thing that simplified my fitness journey + made it doable for me long-term
  • Understanding that your workouts won’t (and shouldn’t) always be ‘fun and flashy’
  • Uncomplicating your meals and nutrition so it’s not such a struggle
  • The simple mindset shift I made regarding my food & meals
  • How staple foods can help you tremendously + my go-to staple foods
