With the biggest goal of the new year being to lose weight, everyone's exercise and diet efforts increase. With the over saturation of the market with wellness products, consumers are spending on average £554 a month on looking and feeling better. We are all here for celebrating the importance of self-care but in the cost of living crisis in the UK spending that much on injections, supplements and ‘life changing’ products needs to be kept under control. You need to return to basics, follow a simplistic structure and work hard to see lasting results.

Getting and Maintaining the Right Plan
Formulating and keeping up a workout or diet plan are two completely different ball games. Formulating is easy as you're probably going to think of the most extreme ways to achieve your goals, however actually maintaining this would be extremely difficult and a complete shock to your usual lifestyle. Setting yourself realistic targets and easy to implement healthy habits is the best way to stay consistent, if you build on these you can naturally progress your efforts to reach your long term goals. The routine you follow each day becomes the life you end up living, if your daily habits are poor your life will feel the same. Add purposeful movement and nutrition to your day to build the life you want to create.
