Exercise Right Week

This year for Exercise Right week 20-26 May 2024 the theme was JUST MOVE!

In line with the theme, we sat down to discuss “The secret to ongoing fitness success in 2024 is about being flexible, changing intentions to behaviour and taking a long-term approach that is tailored to your lifestyle.” with our Exercise Physiologist Sheryn.

The secret to ongoing fitness success, in my opinion, lies in consistency, adaptability, and enjoyment. Here’s what that means to me:

Consistency: Making movement a regular part of your routine is key to long-term success. Whether it’s 30 minutes a day or longer sessions a few times a week, staying consistent with your exercise habits helps build momentum and ensures you continue to reap the benefits of physical activity.

Adaptability: Life is unpredictable, and our schedules and priorities can change. Being adaptable means finding ways to incorporate movement into your day regardless of what life throws at you. Whether it’s adjusting your workout time, trying different activities, or modifying your routine to fit your current circumstances, flexibility is essential for maintaining fitness over the long term.

Enjoyment: Finding activities that you genuinely enjoy makes staying active feel less like a chore and more like a rewarding part of your lifestyle. Whether it’s hiking, dancing, swimming, or playing a sport, choosing activities that bring you joy increases the likelihood that you’ll stick with them over time.

Ultimately, the secret to ongoing fitness success is finding what works for you and making it a sustainable part of your life. By prioritizing consistency, adaptability, and enjoyment, you can create a fitness routine that supports your health and well-being for years to come.
