🌟 Bonus Tip of the Week – Fitness 🌟
As we step into the new year, it’s the perfect time to focus on your health and wellness! For this week’s “BTW,” I asked Latino fitness pros to share their top tips for making small but impactful changes to kickstart your fitness journey. Here’s what they had to say:
🕒 Start Small and Stay Consistent
My bud Marc Barron, owner of The Spin Factory and F1T Factory, keeps it simple: “Don’t get caught up in a crazy new goal. Just make it a point to move three times a week for 30 minutes. After that, you can add more time or another day. You got this!”
🚶♂️ Walk, Nourish, and Rest
Online coach Thomas Padilla of Thrive Coaching Academy focuses on sustainable habits:
- “Make a habit out of walking 7,000 to 10,000 steps per day.
- Nourish your body instead of restricting it—food is the key to health and your dream body.
- Prioritize 7 to 9 hours of sleep to boost your motivation, energy, and appetite control.”
💪 Find Your Reason and Just Move
My dear cousin and elite athlete trainer Ivan Orozco inspires with a holistic view of fitness: “Fitness is more than physical appearance. It’s your strength, your outlet, and the best medicine on the planet. Find a reason for your fitness, set a goal, and make it part of your life—like brushing your teeth or breathing. Just move: jump, crawl, roll, squat, dance, bike, climb, push, pull. Every time you move, you extend your life a little longer.”
🌱 Pocho Key Takeaways
This year, focus on small, actionable steps that are easy to stick with. Whether it’s moving for 30 minutes, walking daily, or finding your personal fitness “why,” these tips will help you build a foundation for lasting health and wellness.
Fitness isn’t about extremes—it’s about consistency, nourishment, and movement that supports your life. Start small and keep going!
