After much preparation and anticipation, the race is done, and you\u2019ve reached the finish line. So, what\u2019s next? Seasoned runners and health advocates will tell you that real victory isn\u2019t just a one-and-done deal. Turn that runner\u2019s high into progress and sustain greatness beyond race day by following these tips from your favorite wellness personalities.<\/p>\n
They say old habits die hard, and building new ones doesn\u2019t happen overnight. For Sam YG, celebrity host and fitness enthusiast, consistency is key.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m not saying it’s always a 10k run or a run for that matter. We\u2019re all caught up with work and life, so it’s actually the small things you decide to do every day that will help you develop the habit,\u201d he explained, adding, \u201cThere will be days where it\u2019s going to feel more challenging, but those will make you stronger and it\u2019s gonna be life-changing.\u201d<\/p>\n
RWP Run Club founder and coach Pat Rubin shares the same sentiments and recommends creating a simple routine that works for you, which can be achieved by allotting personal time in the morning and spending less screentime.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy staying consistent, we can also inspire others to do the same. It\u2019s a way to unleash greatness within ourselves, while also spreading it to others,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Looking good is one way to feel good and perform better. Take it from the Kapuso star Gabbi Garcia, who believes that showing up is already half the battle, but looking good doing it can make it twice as easy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always make sure that I look good at the gym, so I really invest in flattering and comfortable gym clothes that make me feel good and function well at the same time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
This is your sign to get that workout set or that new pair of shoes you\u2019ve been eyeing and start moving!<\/p>\n
Everyone strives for self-improvement, yet comparison with others’ progress demotivates them, halting.<\/p>\n
\u201cComparison is the thief of joy. It\u2019s only you versus you. As long as you\u2019re making progress and pushing yourself every day, you should be happy and content: content but not satisfied,\u201d said fitness coach Enjay Aba.<\/p>\n
Nutritionist Jo Sebastian echoes this, emphasizing that \u201cEveryone has a different journey. If you compare, you\u2019ll take away from your own success.\u201d<\/p>\n
Instead of forcing yourself into a dreary exercise program, why not spice up your routine? From low-intensity walks to a cooling swim, these fun outlets are how influencer moms Marga Banaga and Kath Figuracion are rocking fitness and parenting.<\/p>\n
\u201cFind a workout you enjoy and move your body in a way that you would look forward to, and start from there,\u201d Marga said. In her weight loss journey, she paired dynamic workouts with meal prep that led her to lose 60 pounds in 11 months.<\/p>\n
\u201cI realized that it\u2019s not only physical strength that I want to achieve but also mental and emotional health. That became my motivation. You have to find that within yourself,\u201d said fellow mom Kath Figuracion.<\/p>\n
