There are many options for fitness if you’re making New Year’s resolutions. Many companies now offer equipment and programs for home exercisers, making it possible to have a high-quality workout at your own pace.
The trick is to set yourself up for success. If you aren’t feeling like exercising, it’s easy just to put off getting on the floor.
Stott Pilates has these tips to help you start a home exercise program that you can stick with.
You should establish a schedule for exercise and then follow it. You can create a schedule that suits your life and preferences. You can do your workouts at night if you have the energy. If you are an early bird, exercise before work starts.
Make sure you have enough space. You need to have enough space for your exercise. By extending your arms and legs diagonally, you can make a snow angel laying on the floor. If you don’t bump into anything, then you have enough space.
Start slow. It’s likely to quickly turn you off if you insist on an hour-long workout, when you’re only used to doing 10 minutes at a time. Begin with 20-30 minutes twice a week. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can get your body ready for more.
Variegate your exercise routine. Get a few exercise DVDs to keep you interested and able to change your routine often. Try Pilates as a low-impact exercise that can increase strength, flexibility, and reduce stress.
Multi-tasking fitness accessories are a good idea. Flex-bands, stability balls, and toning balls can all be used in multiple ways. This gives you more bang for your buck.
– Be patient. It may take several weeks for your body to start seeing results. However, every workout is beneficial.
