#5) Ways to Enhance Your Fat Loss…in 10 mins!

💪Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT): HIIT workouts involve short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief recovery periods. This type of training can help burn more calories and increase fat loss in a shorter amount of time.

Studies have shown fat loss benefits in as little as 10 mins of HIIT 3 times a week. To maximize the fat loss benefits of HIIT, work towards 30 mins, 3-5 times a week.

Not only do you burn more calories and increase fat loss, but it’s less jarring on your joints than 45-60 mins of exercise. HIIT style workouts tend to be functional movements as well, which helps the body keep muscles activated that are needed for daily life and aging better.

If you haven’t tried one of the HIIT workouts we put in the WELLNESS WEDNESDAY emails. Check them out! Little by little, a little becomes a lot!

Set Your Weekly Intentions

🫡🫡Clarity and Specificity: Clearly define what you want to accomplish during the week. Vague intentions can lead to confusion and lack of focus. Be specific about your goals, tasks, and desired outcomes. For example, instead of saying, "I want to be more productive," specify, "I will complete the first draft of the project report by Friday."

🥅🥅Alignment with Values and Priorities: Ensure that your weekly intentions align with your values, long-term goals, and priorities. Reflect on what truly matters to you and tailor your intentions accordingly. When your intentions are in sync with your values, you'll feel more motivated and fulfilled as you work towards them.

🥅🥅Realistic and Attainable: Set intentions that are realistic and attainable within the timeframe of a week. Consider your current workload, commitments, and resources available. Avoid setting overly ambitious goals that could lead to frustration and burnout. Break larger goals into smaller, actionable steps to make them more manageable.

📐📐Measurable and Trackable: Make your intentions measurable and trackable to gauge your progress throughout the week. Define clear metrics or milestones that indicate whether you've achieved your intentions. This could involve setting targets for tasks completed, hours spent on a project, or specific outcomes achieved. Tracking your progress allows you to stay accountable and adjust your approach if necessary.

🧠🧠Mindfulness and Reflection: Approach setting weekly intentions with mindfulness and reflection. Take time to connect with yourself, assess your needs and energy levels, and consider any potential obstacles or challenges you may face. Reflect on what worked well in previous weeks and what areas could use improvement. Incorporate lessons learned into your intentions for the upcoming week, fostering continuous growth and development.

By incorporating these five points into your practice of setting weekly intentions, you can enhance your clarity, focus, and effectiveness in pursuing your goals and priorities.
