Belinda regularly shares health tips and tricks on social media, and recently unveiled her secret ‘5 Step Routine Reboot’ to encourage Australians to make a lifestyle overhaul.
1. Write a to-do list every day
“Having a daily routine has been proven to reduce stress,” Belinda explained.
“We tend to fill our brains with ‘to-do lists.’ When this repeats itself in your head, it can be incredibly overwhelming.”
Once you’ve written down your list, gym teachers recommend sticking it up in a visible place for the whole family to see.
This keeps the list out of your mind and helps everyone understand what they need to do.
The second thing Belinda swears by is 30 minutes of cardio in the morning. This helps me get ready to go out each day (morning walk photo).
2. Start the day with cardio
Belinda next pledges to do 30 minutes of cardio in the morning. This will help you be prepared.
“Start each morning with a sunrise cardio workout (walking, running, skipping, or biking) 30 minutes before breakfast,” she said.
“Studies show that disrupted body clocks are associated with many physical and mental health conditions, including depression, diabetes, obesity, and cancer.
“A routine ensures that you feel productive and fulfilled with your daily routine, even if it’s unpredictable.”
Make this morning move a non-negotiable part of your routine and reach your health goals in just one week.
3. Write down your thoughts before going to bed
The third thing Belinda says she does religiously is to record her thoughts every night before she goes to bed.
“Creating goals and to-do lists for the next day really helps to keep me motivated,” she said.
“Write down your moments of gratitude that day and what you plan to do tomorrow.”
Then, make sure you get 7-8 hours of sleep each night to maximize your rest.
Writing a weekly dinner menu is one of Belinda’s favorite habits (pictured is one of her dinners).
4. Write a weekly dinner menu
Creating a weekly dinner menu is one of Belinda’s favorite habits.
“Put it where everyone can see it and keep the menu in rotation for two weeks to really save mental space, time and money,” she explained.
If possible, get into the good habit of pre-prepping a healthy snack, meal, or muesli every Sunday.
This means you’re far less likely to reach for something unhealthy when you’re tired and short on time during the week.
Finally, Belinda reveals that a fixed exercise and training regime can help you stay “motivated, mobile, and coordinated.”She does her 30 minute strength training three times a week.
5. Do strength training for 30 minutes three times a week
Finally, Belinda revealed that a fixed exercise or training regime can help you stay “motivated, mobile, and coordinated.”
“Our mobility is our health,” she said.
“Time is the biggest barrier to exercising, but you need to make moving your body a priority for your health.”
For best results, be sure to do strength training for 30 minutes three times a week and cardio every day.
“Add some stretching and a fun, passionate outdoor fitness activity to create a truly balanced body routine,” Belinda said.
