How we are staying consistent this winter

by Bronte Holding

Let’s be real—forcing yourself to work out because you have to is not the vibe. But what if your fitness journey felt like a main character moment instead of a chore? What if you actually looked forward to moving your body every day?

Enter: romanticising your fitness journey.

It’s not about making things perfect—it’s about making them enjoyable. When you shift your mindset from “I have to work out” to “I get to move my body,” everything changes. Here’s how to make your workouts feel fun, aesthetic, and something you actually crave.

 

 

1. Create a vibe before you even start 

Your workout starts before you step into the gym. Set the mood to make the whole experience feel ✨ elevated✨.

🎶 Pre-workout ritual ideas:

  • Put on a cute gym fit that makes you feel confident.

  • Sip an aesthetic pre-workout drink (iced coffee, matcha, an energy drink in a cute glass, pre-workout in a wine glass).

  • Blast a hype playlist that makes you feel unstoppable.

  • Romanticise the little moments—lacing up your sneakers, stretching in the mirror, or walking into the gym like the main character you are.

 

 

2. Make your workouts feel aesthetic

Yes, you’re here to sweat—but who says you can’t look cute doing it?

💖 Here are some ways to make it cute + fun (after all, we are literally just girls):

  • Pick a gym aesthetic you love (color-coordinated outfits, sleek water bottles, cute resistance bands).

  • Choose a workout space that inspires you—whether it’s a vibey gym, a peaceful park, or a cozy at-home setup 

  • Film your workouts for progress videos (you don't even have to share them, they can be just for you). Seeing yourself get stronger is so rewarding! 

 

 

3. Romanticise the pain (yes, really) 

Instead of dreading soreness or tough workouts, see them as proof that you’re evolving.

💭 Mindset shift:

  • Sore muscles? A sign you’re trying something new, challenging yourself or getting stronger.

  • A tough workout? Your body showing up for you.

  • Pushing through discomfort? You’re building discipline & resilience.

Think of every rep, every drop of sweat, and every deep breath as part of your character development arc. It’s all worth it gf! 

 

 

4. Romanticise rest & recovery

Fitness isn’t just about going hard—it’s also about slowing down and taking care of yourself.

🌿 Make recovery feel luxurious:

  • Take a hot bubble bath with Epsom salts after a workout.

  • Light a candle, grab your journal, and write about how proud you are of yourself.

  • Nourish yourself post workout with something high in protein and carbs—a smoothie bowl, a cozy bowl of protein oats, avo + eggs on toast, or a nourishing, colorful plate of food.

 

 

5. Shift your focus from ‘results’ to ‘enjoying the process’

We all want to see progress, but the secret to sticking with it? Fall in love with the journey.

🌸 How to enjoy the process more:

  • Try new workout styles (pilates, strength training, dance, hiking—whatever excites you).

  • Stop stressing over the scale & start celebrating small wins (more reps, heavier weights, better endurance).

  • Move in a way that feels good, not just in a way that burns calories.

 

 

6. Make fitness feel like self-love, not punishment

The biggest shift? Stop seeing workouts as something you have to do. Instead, see them as an act of self-care.

💖 Affirmations to keep in mind:

  • “I move my body because I love it, not because I hate it.”

  • “Exercise is something I get to do, not something I have to do.”

  • “Fitness is not a punishment—it’s a celebration of what my body can do.”

  • “I don’t have to train, I get to train” 

 

 

Final thoughts... 

Your fitness journey should feel good. It should be something that adds joy to your life—not stress. So, find what makes it fun for you. Dress up for it. Romanticise the little moments. And most importantly—enjoy the process. Because when you love the journey, the results will follow.
