3 Tips for Motivating Fitness into Your Life
Fitness Lifestyle | April 5, 2016
Motivating yourself into a healthy diet slash workout routine when you’ve taken time off is intimidating. Trust me I’ve been there. It’s especially challenging if you’re constantly on-to-go or traveling!(#SazanEats) If you’re looking to ease fitness back into your life but need some healthy motivational tips – I’ve outlined a guide to help you. Just remember: It’s all about baby steps!
Tip 1: Diet is Key
Start paying attention to what you’re putting into your body. Avoid super salty, sugary, and processed foods! Whether you’re eating at home or going out to eat – practicing self-control is the hardest part. When I quit buying the potato chips and soda at the grocery store, I noticed the late night munchies had to disappear. Look for healthier snack choices – like raw almond butter and celery sticks! I also love lunch meat from the deli dipped in Sriracha. heh! Get creative. Try adding a green smoothie to your breakfast instead of a sugary orange juice.
Tip 2: Whether it’s 10 minutes, or 1 hour – get it in!
Release those endorphins! In the beginning you’re going to hate every minute of it because you’re not used to it. No matter how fit or out of shape you are, working out has to become a part of your lifestyle versus a chore. The more you do it, the easier it gets – I promise. I remember feeling like I should be working out but would never listen to that voice in my head. I finally had it with my diet and the way I felt when I looked at myself in the mirror that I learned to find motivation for working out. I began to obsess with that after-you-workout-feeling. I wanted more! I joined an indoor cycling class that challenged me and kept me motivated! Sometimes that’s what you need to do – find a class that challenges and intimidates you. When I’m not doing my indoor cycling classes for cardio, I love clearing my head with a jog around the neighborhood. Even if it’s 10 minutes!
Tip 3: Get a Boost of Energy!
If you love working out but it’s challenging for you to stay focused and give it your all – maybe you need a pre-workout powder to help you out! I’ve always been so skeptical about powders and stuff but I finally found one at Whole Foods that’s health friendly. It’s the Energizer from VEGA. I’ve been taking it for years now and it’s my absolute favorite!!!
I’m no where near my #BodyGoals but I definitely feel more confident than before. Looking forward to sharing more fitness posts with you guys! What do you want to see next?
cheers!
I love this advice, the first two are exactly what I have to do to keep myself on the right track. I definitely need to check out that energizer though!!
How much do you exactly weigh and how tap late you?do you know the what is the exact proportion of height and weight?
Your so perfect Sazan! I love your youtube channel and blog. I watched your “best foundation” video and wanted that lipstick from Sephora but can’t find it anywhere. I’ve been to every Sephora store here in my country 🙁 Can you maybe check the number of it and let me know? Because “muted sandy pink” doesn’t exist. They say that they have number on ther lipsticks. Hope you can answer. Xx Jennifer
its called Mmmm..17. I was going crazy at the store looking for it and the girl at Sephora and I figured it out.
You’re perfect! My boyfriend and I love watching you and Steve😊😊😊
You look great! And those are very good tips, thanks for sharing!

I have been hearing that little voice in my head for weeks. I have to start working out and this inspired me even more!
Great tips Sazan! I’m interested in what your favourite go-to healthy meals are as it looks like you love good food!
thanks for the tips Saz! A healthy lifestyle really does make a big difference in how you feel-really need to check out a pre-workout boost. I workout at 6:45 am every morning so the energy is definitely lacking at times.

I love this post! It’s funny because I just started swimming few weeks ago and I realize that doing an exercise that you like helps because I tried running and I always quit exercise. Thanks because this motivates us even more. You definitely are a role model Sazan! Greetings from Costa Rica! Pura Vida!
