Remember fitness is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the process and celebrate you progress!
Tip #1 - Set goals
Set specific goals for yourself in the short and long term, and keep track of your progress as you go.
Tip #2 - Work smarter
Adapt your workout to your goals and pair the right exercises together to get the most out of each session.
Tip #3 - Don't forget to rest
Make sure you are taking enough rest days to give your body a chance to refuel for your next workout.
If you are constantly injured this could be a sign of overtraining or bad technique. It might be a good time to take a break and do some other forms of activity such as yoga, stretching and trigger sessions.

Tip #4 - Challenge yourself
As certain exercises become easier, start progressively adding a little more difficulty or changing your routine to shock your body.
"After about 16 weeks or four months, there's a point of diminishing returns. If you haven't changed up your workouts, the body will stop responding." – Paige Waehner, CPT
An easy way to know it's time to change up your routine is when you hit a plateau and stopped making progress and your bored with your workouts and no longer looking forward to them.
Tip #5 - Enjoy the journey.
Remember fitness is a journey, not a destination. If you don't enjoy the process and celebrate you progress you are unlikely to stick with your routine so make sure it works for you!
