I love the way you say ‘I refuse to be someone that can’t run more than a few seconds without a break’ I refuse to be someone that can’t lift anything heavy’ 🙌🙌 I AM active 💕💕. I got really fit for the first time in a decade over the past few years and it feels so good. My identity is a fit, active, healthy person❤

3:34 “Behavior naturally follows identity.” 👏

This is 100% my experience. I'm finally a person who is in the best shape of my life. Thank you Jillz!

The timing of this cracks me up because I’ve been cheering myself on for 3 power yoga classes followed by a walk every week this month and I was just thinking how I feel so much more fit right now than when I was constantly telling myself that it wasn’t enough!

[kimberlylilfox]

So I channeled my dark feminine energy with amazing playlists and putting myself first (not me in reality) and home girl started losing weight and rocking the workouts!

I was just reading atomic habits by James Clear today and then I watch this video. Feels like im receiving messages from the Universe ❤❤❤

[Becksnnc]

Thank you so much! This video has really changed my perspective on things. One of my goals was to try and get 10k steps every day and when you said "I am a walker. I hit 10k steps every day!" something just flipped in my brain and I actually went on my treadmill and got to 10k steps. I haven't been focusing on this goal for weeks so my steps are just whatever they may be that day but you've inspired me to get on with it.
Literally paused the video and did those steps haha.

❤ Ah Jillz, another amazing video! If I may add, for reducing friction, YouTube is a huge huge (free) help. Lots of free 28/30 day programs to make you consistent. I started with 28-day HIIT challenge from Growing Annanas. It helped building the habit to keep doing it everyday and I didn't need to think about what to do, what to wear, how to use tools, etc because it was done from home. I just had to prep a sports bra and shorts every single morning and dedicated 30 mins to exercise (10 mins stretch for resting days). After 28 days, I started to explore and try different home workouts, then moved on to different studios for group classes and now I'm proud to say I identify myself as a movement lover. I found a very supportive fitness community at a gym with amazing teachers. I train for strength, mobility, gymnastics (love learning handstand), barre, and yoga for 10-12 hours per week. I love it so much.

Great video Jill! It’s so true! Once I saw myself as a Pilates girl ❤ I was no longer dragging myself to workouts. I’ve been pretty consistent for a year now 🙌

[cambria]

🍷 Thank you Jillz. Starting today I am a "Pilates Princess". Sometimes the delulu IS the solulu 💖

I found your Channel while scrolling on my phone THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME TO CHANGE TO A BETTER MR

I love the idea of saving your favorite podcast for a workout! I do the same thing with cleaning….no YouTube during the week, but once Sunday rolls around, I get to watch all the videos I want as long as I am cleaning house ha ha. It makes me look forward to it and carry on for longer than I would without it. Thanks for the tips! I always learn something from you. : )

Thank you for such a thorough and practical dive into this important topic. While aesthetic shifts are valuable, our overall wellbeing is truly the biggest benefit from a consistently active lifestyle. Managing stress better, improved sleep, increased energy, and mental clarity are things you experience quickly….and the body gradually transforms over time.

I would love to encourage women of all ages that it’s never too late or too early to create the identity of a fit and active person. I like to believe that every age is my “next level” self on all levels. After having kids and living 5 decades….I am still as fit and slender as when I was in my early 20’s….and I am a woman who keeps transforming on the inside, too.

Seeing our healthy habits as a gift to our future self is a motivating mindset. What kind of a body will your 50, 60, and 70 year old self wake up daily in? Each day you “invest” in your retirement, so that you can experience the joy of a healthy body where your health span = your life span. 

Who wouldn’t want to keep aging, if they knew they were going to retain their happy, healthy self and just keep adding enriching experiences to the mix? 

It’s time to uplevel our expecttions and then create habits that help us actualize those dreams. Whoever you are, I am cheering for your success!

Another great video. I really appreciated how you spoke about not feeling the same everyday, and the importance of just showing up And changing your workout to your cycle.

[Darkstar]

🎈 your videos have helped me more than you could ever know. I have been able to change my identity into the person. I have always wanted to become and it’s only up from here and I couldn’t have done it without you and others like you so I just wanted to say thank you and please keep doing what you’re doing!

[teenytinyxtina]
