Challenge Yourself To Go Farther

While we are masters of our own body, we can surprise ourselves in so many ways. This comes up especially in physical prowess. If you’ve just completed a high-intensity 20-minute run, chances are you could’ve gone for three or five more minutes.
The idea about this is if you’ve already achieved a sizable record already, going for a few more reps or working on something for a few more minutes won’t hurt you. It adds that extra layer of challenge that you can be proud of.
Not only that, but doing those extra reps or extra minutes means you’ll be hitting your goals faster and offer yourself that extra nudge that you can feel proud about later.
Consider Apps To Enhance Your Life

As they say: there is an app for that. You’ll find food journals, weight loss trackers, and more through the app store. All of these things can help you in tracking your progress and maintaining a fitness plan. These can also help you in understanding more about what you’re eating and more about yourself too.
Some notable apps to consider are Happify, which focuses on games and activities based on the science of creating happiness. There’s also Lift, which enlists a coach that will track your improvements towards your health goals. Some other good fitness apps are MyFitnessPal, Map My Run, and JEFIT Workout Planner.
Always Be Prepared

Preparing for a healthy week sets you up for success, as they say. When reading that, most will think about preparing meals for the week over the weekend. And while that’s a good habit to get into as well, being prepared extends beyond the kitchen and home.
Being prepared also means having enough gym outfits packed and prepared. It’s also having enough snacks that will keep you full for the whole week.
Oftentimes, the hardest part of getting to the gym is actually getting to the gym. You can ensure you show up to the gym by making sure that you have everything that you could possibly want before leaving your house.
