3 Golden Rules to Adopting Healthy Habits

3 Golden Rules to Adopting Healthy Habits

1.  Don't expect yourself to follow it at all times (allow yourself a day off, once in a while)
2.  Realise that adherence ebs and flows, don't give up because you broke your habit once.  Get 'back on the horse'.
3. Only try to adopt one new habit at a time.  ie. make small changes at a time.  Change one meal or one day or one component.  Once you do that regularly, take on another healthy habit

You should incorporate at least one lifting from the floor exercise in your weekly routine.
Funky socks are optional.
