F45 Challenge | February 2024
We’ve all had those days where hitting the gym or sticking to our meal plan feels like an uphill battle, right? It’s totally normal to hit rough patches and feel like throwing in the towel. But guess what? Your small wins are here to save the day!
So, why are these micro-accomplishments such a big deal? Here’s the thing: achieving our larger fitness goals can sometimes feel like an eternity away. But when we break down those big goals into smaller, more manageable chunks, suddenly they don’t seem so daunting. Each small win becomes a stepping stone toward our ultimate success.
But what actually counts as a “small win”? It’s all about perspective! Maybe it’s hitting a new personal record on your squat, packing your lunch for the week, or simply making it to the gym on a day when you’d rather binge watch your favorite show. These are all victories worth celebrating!
Now, let’s talk about the fun part: celebrating! It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant. Treat yourself to a recovery epsom salt bath, make your favorite meal (pro tip: use the recipe library in the F45 Training App and thank us later), or simply give yourself a high-five in the mirror. The key is acknowledging your progress and giving yourself a well-deserved pat on the back.
Here’s the magical part: celebrating those small wins isn’t just about the momentary joy (although that’s pretty awesome too). It’s about setting off a chain reaction of positivity and motivation. When we recognize and celebrate our progress, it fuels us to keep pushing forward. It’s like giving ourselves a little boost of encouragement to keep crushing those goals!
And let’s not forget about the growth that comes from this cycle of motivation and reward. As we continue to celebrate our small wins, we start to build momentum. We become more confident in our abilities, more resilient in the face of challenges, and more determined to keep striving for greatness.
So, the next time you’re feeling stuck or tempted to throw in the towel, remember the power of celebrating those small wins. They may seem insignificant in the moment, but remember the impact incremental steps can make.
This week challenge yourself to document one small win per day in a journal, on social media or with a friend. At the end, share your stack of small wins with us @f45_training and let us know how you’re celebrating!
