I don’t know about you, but mentally…I’m preparing for Spring!Since we’re (hopefully) getting to warmer weather soon, this is a great time of year to start preparing for a ‘cut’. I’ve found that this is something many people think about too late though, so let’s talk about it (and plan for it) NOW, before summer arrives!Before you even *think* about doing a ‘cut’, you need to consider 3 missing pieces: your habits, preparation, and intentionality. You’ve got to be both flexible AND realistic with your goals, and make sure they’re attainable for you in this season of life. I can’t stress enough that you should be building habits that are SUSTAINABLE - especially before you do a ‘cut’. We’re not trying to constantly do 30, 60, or 90 day challenges, and then start back at square 1 - no thanks!There will be sacrifices (usually short-term), when you’re in a ‘cut’ phase. Ultimately, it’s up to YOU to make sure you’re truly ready to commit to those changes. If you’re ready to build a body (and life) that you love, I’d love to support you in doing so. There’s no better time, so let’s GO!!In this episode, we cover:Thinking and planning ahead of time vs. waiting until the last minuteSetting yourself up with sustainable habits BEFORE you start a ‘cut’ phaseBeing flexible & realistic so you CAN be successful with your long-term fitness habits5 things to really consider when going into a ‘cut’ phaseBreaking down what your ‘trade-offs’ can look likeWhy you need to make sure you’re *actually* serious about your fitness journey BEFORE hiring a coach or starting a workout program Links/Resources:Ep. 152 | Effective Strategies for Transitioning Through the 3 Fitness Phases: Surplus, Maintenance and DeficitJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!
