An accountability partner can mean many things depending on what you prefer. You should ask your family or friends if they have similar goals to you regarding health and fitness. If they do, establish them as a consistent gym buddy. Also, you can find someone with similar goals to you online or in person. Check in with each other and hold one another accountable to your goals. You can share what’s been working for you, your pain points, and successes!
2. Health & Fitness Journal
Obtain a notepad to keep as a health and fitness journal. You want to write in it on a daily basis. Record notes about your diet and workout. Write about how you feel so you can track and document what is and what isn’t working for you on this journey.
3. Reminders
Everyone these days has a smart phone. Utilize your smart phone to set alarms for different purposes. Set a reminder to eat healthy, go to the gym, or stretch. It’s nice to have little reminders throughout the day so you can remain focused.
4. Create A Schedule
