Fit is Freedom with Kelly Howard

On Gear

Continuing from Episode 1 (De-cluttering), Kelly focuses on how to fill your life with the energy needed to accomplish the most important tasks, as well as how to build a foundation for the fitness goals you wish to achieve. With a firm foundation in place for your new habits, you can more easily find the time and drive to get your body to where you want it to be.
In this episode, we cover what else needs to be cleared away and de-cluttered, the exercise gear you have and need to acquire, and what food tucked away in your fridge best serves your needs.
The Finer Details of This Episode:
Choosing a dedicated, reusable water bottle or CamelBak rather than
disposable water bottles so you’ll always have something sustainable
for when you’re on the go.
The importance of relying on a few staple items of exercise gear.
For cyclists: make sure that everything is tuned up and in working
condition (submit your questions in the comments section if you have
any inquiries about what bike and cycling gear will work best for
you).
Focusing on the gear that you’re actually going to use, and making
sure it’s all charged up and ready for you to use as you walk out the
door.
Paring down your pantry contents, utensils and cookware lets you
focus on a refined, healthy menu rather than falling back on easy
junk food.
Finding guilt-free ways to get rid of the food you don’t want or
need. (Use the Three Piles method from last episode!)
The benefits of clear containers.
Quotes:
“It’s so much easier to manage your exercise and food when you can grab and go knowing that what you’re grabbing is exactly what you need, or what works for you.”
“Here’s to never messing around again trying to find stuff that fits, stuff that looks good, and stuff that works.”
“When you have gear that you like, and it works, you just feel better about your exercise!”
“The truth is that when you de-clutter, it opens up energy, it makes things feel good. You realize you don’t have to compromise or tolerate things that just weren’t working before.”

It's putting yourself first so you can create the energy, confidence, vitality, and freedom you need to turn that dream into a reality, conquer the corporate ladder, or change the world while changing diapers. Think about it as your ROA (Return on Action) and your investment on mindset. Listen in for a brand new, age-old take on health, fitness, weight loss, and a life of freedom and fun.
