5 Simple Ways to Kickstart Your Workout Routine

5 Simple Ways to Kickstart Your Workout Routine

The new year is well underway, which means many of you have been working towards your goal to live a healthier lifestyle. If you haven’t already started a workout routine, what are you waiting for? It’s time to push all of your excuses aside and commit yourself to some sort of exercise. Whether it’s taking a walk every day, lifting weights at the gym, or taking a fitness class, the most important thing is that you get active.

One of the hardest parts about making the transition to living a healthier lifestyle is finding the motivation to do so. The most important thing to remember is that you have to do it for you. You can’t do it for anyone (or anything) else. Sure, trying to get in shape for a vacation or to look good for your significant other will get you to the gym. But it won’t keep you there longterm. You have to do it solely because you want to look and feel good for YOU. That is where your motivation should come from.

Now that you’re motivated to get in shape, you’ll need to implement a workout routine that works best for you. Below you will find some simple tips to help you get started.

5 Simple Ways to Kickstart Your Workout Routine

1. Join a gym or sign up for a fitness class. This is the first step in committing yourself to a routine. If you’ve always wanted to try yoga and you like the idea of being able to work out in the comfort of your own home, you can get a free month-long membership to My Yoga Online with the purchase of any Stayfree® product.

2. Buy some nice workout clothes. Shop for clothes that you are comfortable in and that compliment your body style. You will feel more confident and excited to start a routine if you are sporting a new outfit that looks great on you.

3. Download a music app. Music is a great motivator! It has a way of helping you get “in the zone,” so that you can focus and push harder. There are many free music apps to choose from, such as Pandora and FitRadio. Of course, you’ll need to make sure you have a comfortable pair of headphones or ear buds as well.

4. Make a workout plan. You’ll be much more likely to stay committed and focused if you have a workout plan in place. You can always create your own, but if that overwhelms you, there are plenty of free ones you can find online. My favorite place to look is BodyBuilding dot com. They have plans from beginner to advanced and they even have at-home workouts as well.

5. Find a workout partner. It’s always more fun to work out with a friend. Friends are great motivators and they help hold you accountable.

Ladies, don’t let that time of the month get in the way of your workout routine! Working out can help alleviate cramps and other PMS symptoms, as well as improve your overall mood. Stayfree Ultra Thins can help you stay calm, cool, and collected during activity. Pick up a pack the next time you are at the store and keep a few in your gym bag for emergencies.

Stay calm, cool, and connected with Stayfree®. For a limited time, received a free 30 day online subscription to My Yoga on Gaiam TV with any Stayfree purchase! Keep your receipt and visit Stayfree.com/myyoga for program details.
