Get Healthier With Practice: Stop Chasing Fatigue and Restricting Calories

If you've ever started a new workout program or rapidly progressed an existing exercise routine, you've likely experienced the feeling of sore muscles. While some enjoy the feeling of soreness and view it as a sign of a good workout, others may be discouraged and view soreness as a negative response which creates a barrier to becoming more physically active.
The goal of exercising and eating better is to improve and become healthier over time. Emphasizing practice and skills as process goals is an effective way to achieve fitness results without always chasing muscle soreness and exhaustion. Using a similar mindset shift in nutrition can help avoid cycles of restrictive dieting by helping you learn to make food choices and eat in a manner that is enjoyable, keeps you satiated, and healthy.
