We all know that if you want results–whether it’s better fitness, eating healthier, or simply starting a new workout, you should work hard to change the habits you’ve spent a lifetime forming.

Starting Is Hard–Here’s How To Make It Easier

We all know that if you want results–whether it’s better fitness, eating healthier, or simply starting a new workout, you should work hard to change the habits you’ve spent a lifetime forming.

Yet, how many times in our lives do we start something, notice the results, then stop doing the thing that gets us those results and eventually fail? The next thing you know, we are back in our old habits and feeling guilt or shame for failing.

Most people have enough resilience to fail at something a few times. But, few of us will allow ourselves an opportunity to fail every time. The constant starting and stopping is what we begin to fear and dread the most.

Eventually, we just stop starting, and we give up.

We’ve often been told that the best way to start something is to “just start it.” But what if the reason we stop and eventually fail is that we didn’t set ourselves up for success at the start?

The Keys To A Successful Start

Understanding what it will take to succeed is paramount to a successful start, then finish.

As Benjamin Franklin said,

“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.”

When you start a new fitness routine, wouldn’t it be great to know what you will be doing, the results you’ll get from doing it, and the pitfalls you’ll need to overcome?

The good news is that you can. No matter what you’re trying to accomplish, the keys to success are tracking your progress, inner or outer accountability, and motivation.

So, how do you get those things? One way–we think the best way–is by joining the world’s strongest  fitness community through the BodyFit Fitness App.

What Is The BodyFit Fitness App?

The BodyFit Fitness App is an all-in-one solution that serves as your digital workout trainer and so much more. It’s designed to not only help you get started but to help you continue down the path to success and develop lifelong healthy habits.

It offers tools for progress tracking, accountability by connecting you to the community, and motivation through access to trainers, programs, and transformation guides.

It also takes the guesswork out of finding a fitness routine that works best for you. Let’s face it, few people have the time to read fitness books, develop a working knowledge of the human body, and then build out a specialized workout plan. At the end of the day, most people need to show up and be told what to do so that they can see the best results.

That’s the goal with the BodyFit Fitness App. It’s an all-in-one solution for fitness that serves as your digital workout trainer.

In the app, you’ll find:

• 90+ workout plans and programs from industry experts
• Full transformation guides to reach your goals
• Meal plans and nutritional information
• Workout tracking and other features
• 2,500+ curated workout articles and videos
• 3,500+ exercises in one easy-to-use database

It’s everything you need to not only start a fitness routine but to continue it for a long time.

Find The Best Path To Build Your Body

It’s important to understand that no two bodies are alike. Because of this, you need a program that fits your needs and helps you build a path for your goals. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, you need a fitness program that caters to the individual.

Build Your Body will help you find it. With a few clicks, you can get instant recommendations to help you start whatever program makes the most sense for you. Whether you’re a seasoned workout vet or just getting started, check out the tool and see what insights it may offer you.

After you choose your workout goal, it offers advice and resources for workout routines, nutrition, and supplements to make getting started as easy as possible. There is no fee to access this library of knowledge.

How Supplements Can Help

If you’re unfamiliar with supplements, you may think that they are only for people who are either already fit or bodybuilders; however, supplements can be used by anyone and offer a variety of benefits. Dietary supplements are just that: supplemental products for those already on a healthy diet and exercise regimen.

Whether you want to lose weight, have more energy, or gain muscle, supplements are a great way to help you get there.

Protein

Protein is the most popular supplement for fitness, and for a good reason. Protein provides amino acids, which are the building blocks for muscle growth. It also helps you recover quicker from workouts and build more muscle.

Protein comes in many forms, including ready-to-drink shakes, powders, and bars. This makes it easier than ever to ensure your body is getting enough.

Pre-Workout

A pre-workout supplement is designed to provide your body with energy, endurance, and stamina support. It helps you last longer during your workout and maximize your performance. Pre-workout typically comes in powder form and should be taken with water 30 minutes before your activity.

Multivitamin

Unless you closely monitor your diet and vitamin intake, you likely have micronutrient gaps. Multivitamins are a great way to eliminate those gaps and support your overall health, wellness, and immunity.

Amino Acids

BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) and Amino Acids enhance athletic performance and promote muscle health for optimal recovery. Amino acids come in powder form and should be consumed 30 minutes after a workout, or they can also be sipped throughout the day.

Starting a fitness routine is hard, but hopefully, this article and the tools we offer can make it a bit easier for you.
