Three Things You Can Do NOW To Reach Your Fitness Goals!

Are you upset that the summer is coming to an end?

Has stress caused you to make choices that you wish you did not make?

The past is the past, so here are three things you can do right now to help get you back on track!

#1: Stop thinking about what you did wrong and start focusing on what you can start doing right.

If you enjoyed a few to many milkshakes over the summer, those drinks are already down the hatchet. Worrying about that will only cause you to have a few more. How about you shift your mindset to focusing on what you can do now that helps you get healthier and feeling great about yourself.

#2: Stop watching the news!

A reported metric stated that if you watch 3 minutes of the news in the morning, the likelihood of you saying your day was bad increases by a lot. Start your day off the right way with movement, whether it is going for a walk or working out with a friend.

#3: Hire someone to keep you accountable.

Guess what!? When you have skin in the game you will be that much more committed. Hire a fitness coach or invest in a membership that forces you to show up and guarantees you 45-60 minutes of organized movement to help you reach your goals.

Fit Strength Performance focuses on helping you set SMART goals, meets you where you are at, and helps you stay on track, because consistency will always lead to success!

COVID Forces Another Event Cancellation

Another event cancellation due to COVID. This is the second fundraiser cancellation for Embrace Your Sisters (EYS) this year. It would have been their 10th annual walk in Pittsford, along the canal. Year-to-date, EYS has helped 17 breast cancer patients with everyday bill paying, totaling $24,000. Donations are needed to replace their canceled events to continue their financial outreach across 13 counties, with an all volunteer staff: https://www.embraceyoursisters.org/ways-to-donate
