To accomplish any healthy goal you must focus on implementing healthy habits..
A habit is a learned automatic response. Forming new healthy habits, or breaking bad ones for that matter, involves a series of steps including making the actual decision to change, creating a new behavior to support that change, and staying consistent with the habits that create the change.
Research shows that building new healthy habits takes at minimum 21 days. “Commonly observed phenomena tend to show that it requires a minimum of about 21 days for an old mental image to dissolve and a new one to jell.”
Habits play an important role especially when it comes to losing weight and getting in-shape. A 30-day challenge can help to get the ball rolling so you can accomplish your fitness goals. Here is how…
Create Strategies for Success
Chances are if you are new to the realm of health and fitness creating a strategy for success may seem daunting. That’s just one benefit a 30-Day fitness challenge, the strategies for success are already written! Your fitness coach creates these strategies through proper fitness programming, customized meal planning and other standardized health and fitness strategies that will help pave the path for success.
While success strategies are essential for creating healthy habits, researchers have identified several other ways that can help boost your success and make those habits stick.
“According to the study authors, creating sub-routines in the middle of an existing routine can have a greater likelihood of habit formation. In addition, positive attitudes had a direct result on successfully making a new habit.”
Implementing this strategy in-regards to healthy habit building include:
- Drinking a full glass of water before your morning cup of coffee.
- Taking a mult-vitamin with your breakfast.
- Add a 30-Day Challenge to spice things up at the gym.
- Create your weekly agenda before your work week and pencil in every workout session for the week.
Have a Support System
Another way a 30-Day Challenge can help build and implement healthy habits is the support system you receive from your trainer and other challengers. Having accountability will keep you on point with your goals. Also using our 30-Day Challenge mobile app to track your goals is another way to create accountability so you can stay on track with your goals.
“A 2018 study published in the Journal of Biomedical Informatics found interactive digital support systems can help people establish healthier lifestyle habits.”
In this study, patients were able to lose 5-percent of their body weight by using an accountability software which provided motivation and reminders to monitor diet and fitness activity.
“The researchers suspect the digital interactions helped to reduce the mental load of forming a new habit and enabled greater consistency so the task becomes automatic.”
