Take Your Pet for a Walk
PURPOSE: Take a walk or take your pet for a walk on a different route. Enjoy the scenery (and possibly company) as you clear your mind, burn some calories, and exercise your body
Phone a Friend
PURPOSE: Have some motivation surrounding you while working toward your fitness goals. Find a friend or group with similar interests who will support and encourage you.
Increase Your Step Count
PURPOSE: Look for ways to increase your steps every day. Make it a competition with others makes it even more fun. Every step you take is one step closer to a healthier heart and better livelihood.
New Yoga Class
PURPOSE: If you ever took a yoga class that you didn’t like…KEEP TRYING. There are SO many class variations that everyone can find one that they will enjoy – no matter your goal.
Weekly Workout Routine
PURPOSE: Develop a weekly workout routine, write it down and post it in a place that you can see every day. Increase your chances of making it a habit. As we all know, what gets written down, is MUCH more likely to get done.
Take a Hike
PURPOSE: Get outside and breathe fresh oxygen in your lungs. Enjoy the many benefits of doing so – getting Vitamin D, releasing “feel good” endorphins, relieving stress, and doing a great thing for your body and mind.
Learn Something New
PURPOSE: If you are in an exercise rut and you no longer are seeing benefits of the workout or aren’t motivated to continue, change things up to reinvigorate yourself, work new muscles, and get you back on track.
Personal Trainer
PURPOSE: Create additional accountability, discover new routine ideas, and allow someone to push you to your limits. Get a personal trainer, even for 3-4 sessions to improve your routine, motivation, and mindset.
Join a Gym
PURPOSE: If you prefer to work out at a gym rather than at home, find a gym that works for your schedule. The social aspect, accountability, structure, schedule, music or classes might be just what you need.
Set Achievable Goals
PURPOSE: Set realistic goals so you don’t set yourself up for frustration and/or failure. Set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time Bound) goals to help you manage your expectations effectively.
