A Minimalist Approach to Fitness

Simply + Fiercely

Minimalism is about getting rid of the things that don’t matter so we can focus on the things that do.

Adopting a minimalist lifestyle allows us to reduce clutter, save money, and live more simply.

The same principles that can be applied to decluttering our homes (and our budgets) can be applied to fitness.

I hate running and I’m terrible at sports, but I love spin class, yoga, and Zumba. You’ll never know if you like something until you try it! Find what works for you. Whatever you choose, keep moving.

DO EXERCISE YOU ENJOY

Instead of following a fad diet, try changing your lifestyle. Eat more fruit, vegetables, and other whole foods, and eat less processed food.

REPLACE FAD DIETS WITH LIFESTYLE CHANGES

Focusing on the image is demotivating, and ultimately, meaningless. Instead, focus on health. Think about all of the things that you can do now that you couldn’t do a few weeks, months, or years ago. Notice how much stronger you are than you used to be.

FOCUS ON HEALTH

If you want to get in shape, all you really need are some comfortable clothes and a water bottle. If you’re going to work out at home, you might want to purchase some handheld weights or a yoga mat.

BUY ONLY WHAT YOU NEED
