One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned while trying to reach my goals is the importance of Mastering the Fundamentals. Mastering the Fundamentals is like building the foundation for a house. A solid foundation can be built upon, but a poor foundation can lead to many problems down the road. 

Having a solid foundation by mastering the fundamentals can lead to amazing results and aid in reaching fitness goals. Plus, they are great in personal growth and development. This makes mastering the fundamentals an amazing part of becoming Routinely Fit. So, what are these fundamentals? Well, I created my own list on what I think the fundamentals of health are to me, but they are things we hear about all the time. Here is a list of some of the fundamentals to master when on a fitness journey. 

The Fundamentals to Master When Starting on a Fitness Journey

• Stay hydrated and Drink Enough Water

• Nutrition

• Movement

• Managing Stress

• Getting Enough Quality Sleep

• Exercise

• Calories in vs Calories out

• Social Activity 

These are just some of the fundamentals that I found extremely helpful in my personal development and reaching fitness goals. There are more basics to master when trying to reach fitness goals, but this is a good starting point. Keep in mind that just because the fundamentals have been repeated many times over the years that it doesn’t make them any less important. These fundamentals can be challenging and take time to create good habits with but if practiced consistently over time they lead to a more solid foundation. Plus, when I started to work on these fundamentals, they lead to significant changes in energy levels and overall, results that I was seeing. 

My Personal Experience with Mastering the Fundamentals

Let me paint a picture of who I was to better understand why these fundamentals are so important in many parts of life. There was a point in time when I was pretty strong BUT was overweight, had no idea what my calories were, was very shy, had a bad sleep routine, didn’t move around much, and pretty much felt lost in life. Then, I decided I could be better and that I would be better. I hit the reset button and focused on these fundamentals I discussed in this fitness post, and these fundamentals have made massive changes on my fitness journey.

Mastering the Fundamentals of Health is one big step on the journey to becoming Routinely Fit.
