Whether you’re a first timer or an experienced athlete struggling to get your routine down, it’s easy to fall off the workout train.
If you’re ready to be committed, follow these simple rules, and you’ll be on your way to a regular routine that will keep you in shape.
Start Small
One of the biggest obstacles to consistently working out is overdoing it. Individuals that are severely out of shape may try to fix their fitness problems by going all out too fast.
Make up your mind that you are in it for the long haul and start with a simple routine that you can commit to.
Plus, putting too much stress on your body in a short period of time can lead to injury and a burnout feeling. This strategy also leaves you mentally defeated, which is counterproductive to your long-term goal of getting in shape.
Shorten Your Workout
A lack of time can be the greatest challenge in working out on a regular basis. To counter this problem, try shortening your workouts. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to stay in the gym for hours to lose weight and get toned. The proper high-intensity routines can produce the desired results in as little as 15 minutes. Check with your trainer to determine what type of intense regiment works best for you.
Avoid Gym Fever
You don’t have to get a gym membership to stay in shape. There are a plethora of exercises that you can do in the comfort of your own home that will whip you into shape in no time. Invest in a few pieces of affordable equipment. You’ll end up saving more way more money than a gym membership that you barely use. Check out my articles on home equipment and home workouts to get a better sense of establishing your at-home routine.
Prioritize
