Lent is a tradition that takes place every year in the lead up to easter as part of the Christian religion, however many people get involved and challenge themselves to give something up for 40 days and 40 nights. The most common thing given up during this period is chocolate and sweet treats, and no doubt over the years you have considered doing this too. 

But here at Fitness Flex Bootcamps Basingstoke, we think it is a great chance for you to be able to create new habits and perhaps give something up that you struggle to go a day without, or change it up and take on something new for the 40 day period. Some examples of this are below as to what we have seen over the past few years: 

– Completing 10 minutes of mindfulness each day 

– Achieving  10,000 steps per day 

– Increasing vegetable intake by 2 more pieces per day 

– Giving up chocolate 

– Turning of mobile phone at 8pm each evening 

Have you been a victim of having all good intentions of starting a new habit and then a week or so after dropping this off and going back to your old ways? Well it actually takes on average 66 days for a habit to become an automatic daily behaviour, and 66 days can be a long time! But this is why at fitness flex basingstoke we think that lent is a great time to get started on a new habit.
