What does it mean to prioritize your health this September?

Those who are able to make their health a main focus of their lives do so by prioritizing themselves over others. This does not mean being selfish or not caring about anyone else. What it does mean is unapologetically making self-care an important part of your life, well worth your time and effort.

Why health is the first priority?

We often go through life with pain and illness, we don't even remember what it's like to feel well. We get so comfortable with discomfort, we think that it's just the way life is supposed to be. But it's not! People who put their health first feel good and strong and pain-free on a regular basis.

Working on Wellness: 5 Tips to Help You Prioritize Your Health

Keep a routine weekly.
Prep and Plan your Food.
Spend time each day doing nothing.
Keep a balanced schedule, remember too much of anything can become unhealthy.

Dont be too busy that you forget to live in the moment.

Well, my consistency formula for you guys is as always –
Prioritise your health and fitness just like you would do with your social life, you dedicate certain times each week to exercise, to prep your food, to go for walks.

Being consistent will lead to self-discipline, teach you and your family self-control, help build momentum and give you a sense of accountability.
A routine of consistency leads to a lifestyle of feeling Healthy, Happy fit and well, Saying no to fad training and yes to positive lifestyle changes.

Why consistency is important in training.
Consistency in Training, in life is arguably one of the most important components when working to accomplish goals, whether this being health and wellbeing goals or just goals in general, Without Consistency, Training becomes unorganized, Goals have no structure, The body has a harder time adapting and guess what forming habits will become a lot more of a challenge.

Why is it important to be consistent?
When we are consistent it instills discipline into our life and makes us focus and be more aware of how positive habits are formed, if we are looking to change and add personal growth into our life, then guess what it comes down to being consistent week in and week out.

Habits to help you increase your Consistency-

Book your Training sessions in for the same time each week.

Have a weekly purpose of what you would like to achieve.

If you are short on time, don’t cancel your training session, just train for a shorter period.

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘wellbeing’?

It is easy to conjure images of tree hugging and yoga poses but it has a much wider meaning that that.

It actually refers to the state of being comfortable, healthy or happy1 , which is something we all strive for.

What this actually amounts to will vary according to each individual and what gives them contentment, but one thing we can all agree is that it is important to try and maintain a sense of wellbeing, for the good of our mental and physical health.

Here, we take a look at why looking after your own personal wellbeing is so important and how we can make a conscious effort to do this.

So, let’s talk wellbeing this week-

Emotional Wellbeing -

Your emotional wellbeing can be one of the most important aspects of self-care.
It is focused on how you are feeling within yourself and how you cope with everyday life.
This is not a static thing, as it can change frequently and at any time2. This might be due to things that happen to us or for no obvious reason at all.
It is important to remember that out mental health and well being will affect the way we feel about ourselves and others, as well as the way we handle everything that life throws at us, so we should be making this a priority.
When we focus on our own wellbeing, we can be prone to less extreme reactions to certain situations and can make calm and rational responses to things.
Feelings of stress and anxiety can be reduced3 and your mood can therefore be improved.

Relationships-
When we feel good in ourselves, it affects those around us too. We might be easier to live with or in a better place to support someone else who might need it.
The happier you are, the more you can give to a relationship, whether that is a romantic one, a family one or a friendship.

Physical Health - There are many different types of well being, and they are not all focused on the mind.

Your well being will also have an impact on your physical health, so you need to concentrate on looking after your body too.
This can be done through something as simple as brushing your teeth every day, ensuring you get a good night’s sleep or starting a new exercise regime, We are GM-Fitness and we are online offering One to one personal training sessions to cater for your personal needs or log in and join us for a group session, We are at Sully Cricket grounds for one to one sessions in person or as a group.
If your looking to book in and Train at our studio in w2 pop us a message to arrange a time.

Happy Healthy July all.
