Wondering what to do when are ready to start working out? Or maybe you just want to switch things up? Do you need help figuring out how to get motivated? Let’s dive into ways to bring more fitness into your life. Also- check out my week of workouts! The programing my husband and I are doing right now is a mixture of using a couple different Crossfit gym’s posted workouts and modifying them to work for us, putting together EMOM’s on our own, and some activities (like adventure racing and doing active things outdoors like biking, hiking, walks and now stand up paddle-boarding!) In a previous post “How to make an EMOM workout”, it takes you step by step on how to create your own workout! It’s a great way to plan a workout that is customizable to the time, movements and space that you have! I have learned a lot about working out, fitness, and how to fit it all in to a busy schedule.
What to do when you are ready to start working out:
- Get a check up from your medical provider, especially if you are new to working out. You want to make sure that everything is good to go before you dive into something!
- Think about what your goal is- be specific.
- Start small and meet yourself with grace. Keep it simple!!
- Make a plan! Figure out what days you will workout and for how long & then write it on the calendar
- Consider it a meeting or appointment with yourself and treat it just as you would if you scheduled it with someone else.
- Have fun- do something you enjoy! There are so many options, don’t limit yourself to a certain workout because you think you “should” be doing it. Find what you love.
