Here is a fun fact that I always share with my clients to encourage more physical activity throughout the day: “Individuals who do not exercise regularly can lose up to 80% of their muscle strength by age 65”. With this in mind, there is no better time to start moving than now!
Although we are well aware that physical activity is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, it is not that easy to integrate into your routine on a consistent basis. Many of us are tired after a long day of work and simply do not have the energy to exercise, and some feel overwhelmed when it comes to following an exercise plan that they give up before starting. The solution to these common predicaments? Start small, and find someone to help you maintain accountability to these small changes. Build on your foundation overtime, and it will stick long-term.
