Dec 17, 2022Read time: 2 minutes
Here are four simple ways to help you care for your body this week. Making small changes to your daily routine can make a big difference.
#1 Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor
Building pelvic floor strength is one of the foundations of any good weight loss plan. Biology-based exercises like the “Mountain Pose” and “Butterfly Pose” can help you identify, strengthen and relax the muscles in your pelvic floor. This can improve bladder control and decrease urinary leakage, helping you better manage your weight and overall health.
#2 Make a Healthy Breakfast
To fuel your body for whatever your day has in store, it’s important to prioritize a healthy breakfast. Take the time to start your day off on the right foot with something nutritious and delicious like an egg-white omelet loaded with veggies, or some nutrient-packed overnight oats topped with your favorite fruits. By eating healthy breakfast options, you can kick start your metabolism and kick off the day right.
#3 Redefine Self Care for Your Unique Needs
Self care is so important to your overall health and wellbeing and should be tailored to meet your specific needs. For some people, self-care means going for a morning jog or taking a hot bath. For others it could mean taking five minutes to meditate or journaling in the evenings. Whatever it may be, take some time out of your day to do something that makes you feel calm, relaxed and balanced so that you can focus on creating healthy habits that will help you reach your goals.
#4 Improve Your Sleep
Sleep plays a critical role in our overall health, yet so many of us underestimate its importance in terms of achieving our health and fitness goals. Research has shown that those who get seven to nine hours of sleep each night have a lower risk of weight gain compared to those who get insufficient rest. If you’re not getting enough sleep, try making small changes to your nighttime routine. Turn off your devices an hour before bed and switch off the lights - this can help you get better, more restful sleep and wake up feeling energized and ready to tackle the day ahead.
By incorporating these four simple steps into your daily routine, you can start to see positive results when it comes to losing weight while also feeling healthier and more refreshed.
As always, it’s important to remember that everyone is unique and should approach their health goals in a way that is tailored specifically to them, so be sure to consult with a nutritionist if you’re looking for longterm guidance on how to reach your desired results.
