Complete Coaching Consistency Pillars: Five Habits That Will Change Your Life

Whether I'm personal training, nutrition coaching or encouraging online members, I always emphasize one principle over everything else: consistency. It doesn't matter what you do for cardio or if you prefer yoga to Pilates or if you hate deadlifts but love lunges. What matters is that you exercise your healthy habits consistently. Great things happen when you're consistent with simple disciplines over time. At Complete Coaching, we have five lifestyle habits that form the background of everything we do.

Minimum three workouts per week. The benefits of regular exercise are well-documented and include:

1. Improved cardiovascular health.
2. Stronger immune system & decreased risk of chronic disease
3. Strong muscles, bones & balance = injury prevention & hormone regulation
4. Better sleep
5. Better digestion
6. Increased energy, focus & mood
7. Reduced stress, anxiety & depression

Take 8,000-10,000 steps per day. Non-exercise activity throughout the day is a key to reaching and maintaining a healthy weight over the long haul.

Drink 80 oz of water per day. From flushing out toxins to keeping our joints lubricated, this simple discipline is SO great for you inside & out.

Spend 15 minutes outside every day. Get your daily dose of Vitamin D - just 15 minutes of natural sunlight will help reduce stress and boost your mood.

Eat at least 100 g of protein daily. Protein is essential to building and maintaining lean muscle, as well as feeling full and satisfied. Protein also helps build and repair almost all of our cells and regulates essential hormones. 100 grams per day is a great starting goal for most women.
