Fitness Influencer Shares Tips on Avoiding Derailment After Setbacks

Maintaining Fitness Progress: How to Get Back on Track After a Setback Staying consistent with fitness goals is a challenge many face. One common setback is the occasional weekend of overindulgence, which can lead to feelings of guilt and the urge to 'start over'. However, as fitness influencer Ivy | functional fitness (@ivisreynolds) points out, this doesn't necessitate abandoning progress entirely. In a recent video, Ivy shares her own experience of a work trip where she enjoyed a 'calorie and beer surplus'. She emphasizes that two days of indulgence shouldn't derail weeks of hard work. "Too many of y'all let two days turn into two weeks," she says, highlighting the common tendency to completely give up after a minor slip-up. Instead of starting over, Ivy advocates for a healthy approach. "We're just going to get right back into normal routine," she explains. Her advice focuses on accepting minor setbacks, enjoying them without guilt, and then seamlessly resuming the fitness plan. This approach is more sustainable and prevents the cycle of starting and stopping. Ivy's video has resonated with many viewers, offering a realistic and encouraging message. Her practical tips and relatable experience make it a valuable resource for anyone striving for long-term fitness success.
