12 Fit Tips

November 7, 2014

Workout

 

Last week I wrote about my year end goals – work out a minimum of 4 days a week and get 7.5 hours of sleep per night. This week I wanted to share my fitness tips.

  1. Use a Fitbit to hold yourself accountable and make workouts easy to track. I have the Flex Fitbit and I wear it day and night. You can download the app and use the online dashboard to set goals and see your progress. I’m obsessed and never take mine off!
  2. Don’t rely solely on a scale; take your measurement to get a more accurate picture of your progress.
  3. Have the proper gear e.g., good shoes and workout attire (enough for a full week).
  4. Don’t allow more than two days in between workout, it’s easier to stay motivated if you’re consistent. Stick to a schedule, and pencil it in.
  5. Plan ahead and don’t workout hungry. Have a light snack an hour or two before to keep your energy levels up and avoid crashing. My go-to snack is an apple with string cheese.
  6. Create several playlists to keep you moving.
  7. Join a gym or create a home gym. You want to make exercise as convenient as possible. When we rented a house I purchased an elliptical and canceled my gym membership to better suite my needs.
  8. Get a workout buddy; this is another way to stay accountable.
  9. Take a class to keep workouts interesting and your body challenged.
  10. Try some of the many fitness apps available. I’m currently using the 5K Runner app and love it.
  11. Workout or go for a walk during your lunch break, I keep an extra pair of shoes in my desk drawer.
  12. Keep gym clothes in your bag so you can get straight to the gym. When I come home I’m exhausted and the last thing I want to do is work out. I don’t let myself sit down – I change into my workout clothes and head out the door.

What workout tips help you stay motivated?

      Hi Nessa. Thanks for stopping by. I think the fitbit and 5K app will help you accomplish your goal. You’re inspiring me to possibly do one myself. Best of luck!
