The First 3 Habits to Focus on When You’re Out of Shape (and Overwhelmed)

The First 3 Habits to Focus on When You’re Out of Shape (and Overwhelmed) If you’ve been out of your routine for a while, getting back into shape can feel… impossible. You think about all the changes you should make (workouts, meal prep, cutting out sugar, going to bed earlier) and suddenly it feels so overwhelming that you don’t even start. Here’s the truth: you don’t have to change everything at once. In fact, trying to overhaul your life overnight almost guarantees you’ll quit. Instead, start with 3 simple habits that give you the most impact for the least stress. 1. Strength Train 2–3 Times Per Week Why? ....

Why Routine Isn’t Just Helpful. It’s Powerful

Why Routine Isn’t Just Helpful. It’s Powerful Life feels easier when you’re in a rhythm. You wake up, know what needs to be done, and feel a sense of momentum throughout your day. You don’t have to think about every little decision because your routine carries you. But when your routine slips? Everything feels harder. You start overthinking. You second-guess. You delay decisions. Your workouts, meals, sleep, and energy all get thrown off track. And before you know it, you're stuck in that frustrating cycle of “trying to get back into it.” The truth is, routine is more than a schedule, it’s a system for success. And ....

You’ve Saved the Workouts, Followed the Influencers… So Why Haven’t You Started?

You’ve followed all the fitness accounts. You’ve saved the reels. You’ve watched the YouTube videos titled “Strength Training for Beginners.” And yet…you’re still not doing it. You’re not alone. In fact, studies show that up to 89% of people who say they want to start working out never get past the planning stage. But it’s not because they’re lazy. It’s not because they don’t care. And it’s definitely not because they’re not trying. It’s because they’re missing something far more important than motivation: clarity. What No One Tells You About ....

3 Reasons We Love GLP-1s (and 1 Thing Everyone Needs to Know)

3 Reasons We Love GLP-1s (and 1 Thing Everyone Needs to Know) There’s a lot of talk right now about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, and for good reason (Ozempic and Wegovy are brand names for semaglutide , a GLP-1 receptor agonist.) We work with real people here in Naperville who have tried everything. And for some, GLP-1s have been the breakthrough they’ve been waiting for. Here are 3 reasons we love them, and one major thing you should keep in mind: 1. GLP-1s help reduce hunger and cravings, without relying on willpower. For many people, hunger isn't just about "eating too much." It’s a biological feedback loop that’s ....

The Top 5 Reasons You’re Tired, Foggy, and Frustrated

If there’s one phrase I’ve heard more than any other during my recent intro calls, it’s this: “I just want to feel better.” That’s it. Not lose 20 pounds. Not get shredded. Not run a marathon. Just feel better. And honestly, I think that’s the most honest and powerful goal you can have. Because when you feel better, everything else gets easier. You have more energy. You’re more patient with your family. Your confidence starts to return. You finally start to believe that change is possible. Strength training plays a huge role in that. We’ve seen it time and time again here at Beyond Measure Fitness, especially with ....

Don't Slash the Other 3 Tires

Have you ever started adding a new positive habit into your life (maybe you finally started working out, eating better, reading more) and then almost immediately, life throws one of its famous curve balls and knocks you off track? Yeah. Same. It’s crazy how the universe works sometimes. You could be a month, a week, or even one day into your new routine… and suddenly life happens. Something breaks, something derails your schedule, or something stressful demands your attention, and just like that, you miss the new habit. Sound familiar? That’s because it happens to everyone sooner or later. And it’s exactly why adding new habits is so ....

Why Even Set Goals?

Why Even Set Goals? Most people don’t set goals because they’re miserable. They set goals because they know they’re capable of more, even if life right now feels “fine.” You might not be in crisis. You might be holding it together. You might even be doing good. So… why push for more? Why set a goal, add more to your plate, or challenge yourself to change? Because “fine” isn’t the same as fulfilled. And comfort doesn’t always mean contentment. The Mental and Emotional Benefits of Progress When you set a goal- something that stretches you- and you start making progress toward it, something ....

What to Do When Motivation Disappears

What to Do When Motivation Disappears At some point, it’s going to happen. You wake up and just don’t feel like it. The goal you were so fired up about last week suddenly feels far away. You’re tired. You’re busy. You’re not “feeling it.” And that voice in your head starts whispering, maybe I’m just not cut out for this. Here’s the truth. That moment? It’s not a sign you’ve failed. It’s not proof that something’s wrong with you. It’s not a reason to quit. It’s just part of the process. Motivation was never meant to carry you all the way. It’s not designed to be there every ....

How to Stay on the Pickleball Court and Out of the Doctor’s Office

Pickleball is a blast. It’s competitive, social, and a great way to stay active. But if you’ve been playing for a while, (or even if you’re just starting out) you’ve probably heard about someone getting hurt on the court. Maybe you’ve even felt a few of those tweaks or aches yourself. The reality is that injuries like ankle sprains, knee issues, rotator cuff pain, and “pickleball elbow” are incredibly common. And while not every injury is preventable, a lot of them are avoidable with just a few simple habits. The good news is that staying injury-free doesn’t require hours in the gym or a complicated training plan. In fact, two simple ....
