At-home workouts don’t have to be tedious.
I was that person that if the fitness instructor on the video was too cheerful, I got irritated because I couldn’t see past the pain of the moment.
Now, I have fallen in love with my routines with 5 steps:
1. Have a Vision: Have a vision for what you want to experience in your body, and write it down in the present tense - as if it has already happened. For me, that means “I have abundant energy.” “I can do the splits.” “I feel at ease in my body.” This gives me a clear picture in my mind when my workouts get tough. In my mind, I tell myself I am already strong.
2. Enjoy What You Do: This is so important. I would be that person who would do fitness videos because I felt I had to in order to be “tough.” Turns out, I hated my workouts! So, I started doing more dance-inspired workouts. Not only do I love them, but I don’t feel the “pain” as much because I love to push through. Find what you enjoy and do it!
3. Stretch!: I stretch in the morning and currently working on stretching more at night. This has helped my alignment and simply feel more at “ease” in my body.
4. Focus on core strength: I have committed to abs and back strengthening workouts - just 10 minutes everyday. This helps warm up my core for the day so I can maintain and gain better posture to prevent issues down the road.
5. Take supplements to support energy levels and body’s response to inflammation: This is vital! Exercise is incredibly beneficial to your body, but if you’re not replenishing it with nutrients and vitamins it needs pre-and-post workout, you can seriously wear your body out overtime. I invested in a beyond-organic antioxidant drink that not only supports my body’s needs pre-and-post workout, but supports my general wellness.
