Recently, everyone had a blast during the Tempo Fitness Journey. Last week was Leo’s story.
Today, let’s buckle up as we amplify another story by one of our managers, Jerrica.
Many of us start a serious fitness and diet regimen to mainly keep fit, to lose weight or to stay in shape. However, we should never neglect the value of our well- being: to always feel good and to be in great mood.
This wonderful reminder is something that we will learn from Jerrica’s motivation.
For her, starting the fitness challenge should have a sense of purpose. Her motivation is to have more energy, more focus, to feel great and be happier in life!
Everyone of us get so fed up with work, personal problems or having anxiety. Our mood is also affected if we are not in great shape. So, working out is a must as it stabilizes our mood and improves our wellness too.
The Tempo Fitness Journey has ended successfully but it was also a bit bumpy for Jerrica.
Her greatest challenge was cutting of snacks on her diet. She limited herself to two snack days but found it especially hard when she felt tired at the end of the day.
We have to admit that it feels so good to eat snacks! It is also very satisfying if we have granted all our cravings. However, it may hinder our fitness goals.
According to Jer, the best way to keep healthy while snacking is to use healthier alternatives (mainly protein, yoghurt and fruits) to replace the unhealthy snacks we are all used to. She emphasized that drinking more water helped to suppress her appetite also.
For her workout, she added that using the stretching app helped her recovery and performance during her workouts. She usually only stretches a few times a week but managed to stretch almost every day during the challenge. This is something that she will definitely keep on doing as it helped her a lot.
Then, another great thing she did was doing more Calisthenics exercises. For her, it was difficult at first but eventually have progressed!
Indeed, the Tempo Fitness Challenge is not the end but it is just the beginning, especially for Jer.
She signed up for the half marathon in October! She shared that her main goal was to run 18km as the furthest since she had run 14km before the 4 weeks. The best part? She ended up completing 20km in just over 2 hours! So, she’ll continue to keep increasing this until she can complete the full half marathon a few times.
Moreover, she added that having more challenges for the Tempo tribe can be a good reminder for us to always keeping fit a topmost priority. Step Challenge and Diet Challenge are some of her great suggestions to do in the next months to come.
So, let’s get be fit everyone and watch out for more Tempo Fitness stories in the coming weeks.
