Find a workout that you enjoy and that motivates you! “Exercise in a way that is sustainable for you. No one knows you better than you, so focus on YOU. What works for you,” says Cara-Lisa.
3. Listen To Your Body
“Your body is smart. It will let you know what it needs to eat, how it needs to move and when it needs to rest, so listen up! The more in tune with your body you become, the more you will start to look and feel the way you have always wanted.” She also suggests that on days that you’re feeling flat, opt for restorative exercise such as a gentle yoga or Pilates class.
