If you have taken to hibernating as your form of exercise during the cold, winter months now is the time to get up off the couch and start your spring workout routine! The weather is getting warmer and there are no more excuses for sitting indoors…besides, bathing suit season is right around the corner!
Here are some tips for being successful in your spring workout routine:
• Begin a workout journal, writing down goals, a workout routine, and sets/reps of weight lifting exercises. Also write down how you’re feeling, what is working well for you, and areas where you would like to see improvement.
• Start out light and work your way up to more intense exercise. Don’t kill yourself the first time out of the gate! You’re less likely to continue a routine if you are too sore to get up the next morning…
• Find a workout buddy! Working out with a friend is more fun and can serve as great motivation to continue a routine (as long as you aren’t hitting the breakfast buffet after a morning jog…)
• For best results, incorporate weight lifting and cardio into your workout.
• Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Especially with the weather warming up, make sure to be drinking water throughout your workout and throughout the day.
• Have fun! Choose exercises and activities you enjoy and remember to change up your routine often enough to keep it exciting and enjoyable!
