I understand that starting your journey towards better health and fitness can feel like stepping into a world filled with question marks.
The sea of information, conflicting advice, and jargon can be overwhelming.
But guess what? You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not stuck.
Let’s tackle this issue together – the lack of knowledge.
It’s like trying to build a puzzle without knowing where the pieces fit.
But here’s the thing: knowledge is power, and it’s the key to unlocking the best version of yourself.
Step 1: Seek Guidance from Trusted Sources
Start by seeking guidance from reputable and trusted sources.
You likely want information on:
- fitness exercises to optimize your workouts
- nutrition to help burn fat
- reliable sources of information for FAQs
Look for:
- Certified trainers
- Tee Major, GFT, TRX STC FTC, Military Fitness Coach
- Joe Holder (a Nike trainer and run coach and fitness nutrition specialist)
- Jeff Cavaliere, MS PT CSCS, got his start as the physical therapist and strength/conditioning coach for the New York Mets from the team’s 2006 National League championship season to 2008.
- Registered dietitians
- Rachel Paul, PhD RD @collegenutrionist
- Bari the Dietitian, MSc, RDN @barithedietitian
- Robyn Nohling, FNP, RD, MSN @thereallife_rd
- Reliable fitness platforms/websites
They’re like your compass in this vast fitness terrain, guiding you toward the right path.
Step 2: Start Small, Learn Big
Don’t try to swallow the entire encyclopedia of fitness in one go.
Break it down into manageable chunks.
Begin with basic exercises, understand fundamental nutrition, and gradually build from there.
It’s like learning to walk before you run – each step counts.
Step 3: Embrace Your Journey
Remember, it’s not a race, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Your journey is uniquely yours.
Embrace every hiccup, every small win, and every moment of learning.
Celebrate your progress, no matter how small it may seem. Because every step forward is a step towards a healthier, stronger you.
You’ve got this. You’re not just gaining knowledge; you’re gaining a whole new lease on life. Your body will thank you, your mind will thank you, and most importantly, your future self will thank you.
So, let’s start this journey together. The first step is already behind you – acknowledging the need for knowledge. Now, let’s build on it. The power to transform is in your hands.
