It’s Not About Perfection, It’s About Progress

Woman working out

"When I started my fitness journey, I focused on small, consistent steps - like walking 20 minutes a day or drinking more water. Looking back, those little changes added up to big wins!

Celebrating each milestone, no matter how small, keeps me motivated and reminds me how far I’ve come. It’s not about perfection, it’s about progress." – Jamie, YMCA Member 🌟

Shine On Inspired Health and Fitness Goals for 2025

Move with Purpose Daily: Find joy in movement by committing to 30 minutes of activity each day - whether it’s a brisk walk, yoga flow, or dancing to your favourite tunes. Every step counts, and every movement helps you shine brighter!

Hydrate to Thrive: Keep your energy up and your body happy by drinking more water. Set a goal of 8–10 cups daily, and let hydration fuel your glow from the inside out.

Discover Something New: Try a new activity like swimming, a group fitness class, or outdoor cycling. Exploring new ways to stay active can ignite your sense of adventure and build community along the way.

Celebrate Rest and Recovery: Rest is a key part of thriving. Prioritize 7–9 hours of quality sleep and include active recovery, like stretching or gentle movement, to stay balanced and energized. Your body deserves care, too!

Nurture Healthy Choices: Make one small, meaningful change - like swapping chips for crunchy veggies or soda for infused water. These little choices show self-care and set the stage for bigger victories.

 

These goals will help you feel stronger, healthier, and ready to Shine On in 2025!
