Unzip your jackets and dust off your sneakers, spring is here! Your fitness plan may have fallen by the wayside during the chilly winter months, so now it’s time to spring clean your fitness routine. With a little bit of planning and some help from our personal trainers, this spring can bring you closer to your fitness goals than ever before!
1. Set Goals, No Matter How Small
Whether you’re looking to build strength, walk a certain number of steps each day, or have more energy to run around with your kids, setting a goal can keep you on track. Think about what you’d like to accomplish this spring and make that goal specific-- Instead of simply saying “I want to lose weight,” state how you will get there. “I want to lose weight by working with a personal trainer twice per week, jogging each day on my own, and eating fewer meals out.”
2. Fuel Effectively
Fitness goals start in the kitchen. Plan your meals ahead of time to make sure you’re properly fueling for your workouts and complementing your routine with a diet intended for your goals. Finally, always keep a healthy snack on hand, like a banana or a granola bar, to stay on track when you’re on the go.
3. Refresh Your Workouts
Some of us are creatures of habit, but others love the thrill of something new. If you can’t stand the thought of spending another 30 minutes on the elliptical, mix it up! Repeating your routine not only gets boring, but over time, your muscles will get used to the exercise and reach a plateau. Get out of the rut by experimenting with different cardio and strength training routines. Between biking, Pilates, yoga, strength training, Zumba, and plenty more, there’s no shortage of ways to work out at Asphalt Green!
