The category of Wellness has to do with staying strong, healthy, and happy emotionally, mentally, and physically. A critical component to staying “Well” is putting yourself first by taking time aside to exercise, set goals, and partake in your hobbies. Everyone has families, but you won’t be able to take care of your family and friends unless you take care of yourself first as a priority!
It’s important to exercise at least once per week to ensure that your body is able to perform in your everyday physical functions and remain free of injury. Adhering to weekly exercise could be as simple as making sure to take a fitness class once a week, doing a quick exercise routine involving lower-body and upper-body resistance training techniques, or just taking a hike or brisk walk.
Another component of staying well is to embracing one of your hobbies and contributing to it at least once a week. This could be anything from writing in your journal, gardening, cooking a new recipe every week, or even watching your favorite TV show if you’re too busy to do so.

It’s very important to look at where you are in Your Life Time Fitness journey and see if the goals you have established are still conducive to positively influence your Wellness. If you’re not sure, take some time to think about where you would like to be in 4 weeks. A very serious question that we asked our personal training clients here at Napa tenacious Fitness is “What does success look like to you after this next month?”
Putting yourself first before the other mandatory stresses in life is a critically important component to Lifetime Fitness. Perhaps it would be a good idea to take some time aside to ensure that you are positively influencing your Wellness by making sure that you exercise weekly, contribute to your hobbies weekly, and really take some time to dig deep and assess your goals and make sure they are right for you.
