046 | Be Badass: Healthy Movement and Exercise Habits

Identify healthy movement and exercise habits as we enter the final phase of the Be Badass with Me mini challenge! In this episode, I give you 15 ideas and tips for choosing a movement, fitness, or exercise habit that works best for you and your goals.

And in this case, I say “movement, fitness, or exercise” because I want you to choose a movement habit that is aligned with where you at and where you want to go.

Identify and Implement a Healthy Movement Habit

  1. Identify where you’re at now, mentally and situationally.
  2. Identify where you want to go and how you want to feel.
  3. Review the list you made of general healthy habits or actions that have worked for you before and potential habits that may be worth trying, or trying again.
  4. Select one healthy movement habit you want to practice that supports where you want to go and how you want to feel. 
  5. Identify what this habit looks like under the worst case scenario, when you’re in crisis mode or just off your normal routine—create your plan B for these moments.
  6. Finally, consider how you want to track this habit and how you know if it’s working.
