Selene Yeager: The Evolution of the Fitness World-Ep.113
What’s Happening In Your Fitness World?
“Life is happening to you right now; you might as well embrace it.”– Selene Yeager
Before you jump into listening to my interview with Selene Yeager about The Evolution of the Fitness World, take a moment to think about what’s going on with your own health and wellness. Are you on the right track to reaching the goals that you want to achieve? Are you sticking to eating healthier and working out on a regular basis?
Why did you start this health journey and process? What was your own “a-ha moment” and fitness evolution?
Last week on Episode 112: Dr Jonny Bowden-Breaking Down Cholesterol and Nutrition Myths, Devon and I shared some tips on how you can begin to live a healthier life and we’d love to hear your progress! You can share it with us however you like including our new Open Sky Fitness Podcast Group on Facebook.
Take Baby Steps Towards Fitness Goals
If you didn’t start any of the healthy habit tasks that we talked about last week, just remember that you don’t have to complete the tasks perfectly. This exercise is just to help you get a good start on creating healthy goals and it’s all about taking baby steps.
We all go through different processes to get healthy and the length of that process will vary from person to person. If you only focus on the end result, you can get easily frustrated. Take it one day, one goal, one meal, or one workout at a time and before you know it, you will accomplish what you want to get done and be where you want to be!
