Regular exercise is a cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle. It boosts your mood, improves your sleep, and strengthens your body. However, despite knowing these benefits, many of us struggle to make exercise a regular habit. As an NSCA Certified Personal Trainer, I understand these challenges and have designed online fitness and nutrition memberships to help you overcome them to make working out a habit. This blog post aims to provide practical tips and strategies to help you make working out a regular part of your life.
Understanding the Importance of Regular Exercise
Regular exercise is not just about losing weight or building muscle. It has a profound impact on your overall health. It can reduce your risk of chronic diseases, improve your mental health, and even extend your lifespan. On the other hand, a sedentary lifestyle can lead to weight gain, heart disease, and a host of other health problems. Therefore, making exercise a habit is one of the best things you can do for your health.
The Psychology of Habits
A habit is a behavior that we do automatically, without much thought. It’s formed through a process called the habit loop, which consists of a cue, a routine, and a reward. Understanding this process can help you create a habit of regular exercise. With our online fitness membership, we provide complete video workouts that can be done anywhere with minimal to no equipment, making it easier for you to establish your routine.
Setting Realistic Goals
Setting achievable fitness goals is crucial for maintaining your motivation. These goals should be SMART – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. As a personal trainer, I can help you set these goals and provide the guidance and support you need to achieve them.
Creating a Workout Schedule
Having a regular workout schedule can make it easier to stick to your fitness routine. Our online fitness membership allows you to workout at a time that suits you, making it easier to fit exercise into your busy schedule.
Making Exercise Enjoyable
Exercise doesn’t have to be a chore. In fact, one of the keys to making it a habit is to find a form of exercise that you enjoy. Our online fitness membership offers a variety of workouts, allowing you to find something that you love and look forward to doing.
Overcoming Obstacles
There will always be obstacles that get in the way of your workouts, whether it’s a lack of time, a lack of motivation, or something else. The key is to anticipate these obstacles and come up with a plan to overcome them. Our online fitness membership is designed to be flexible and adaptable, helping you overcome these obstacles and stay on track with your fitness goals.
Empowering Yourself with Knowledge
Our online fitness membership includes Onboard 101, a 12-module course that gives you a basic understanding of how your body functions. With this knowledge, you can make informed decisions about your health and wellbeing.
Nutrition and Meal Planning
A healthy diet is just as important as regular exercise when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Our online fitness membership includes meal plans written by Registered Dietitians, helping you fuel your body with the right nutrients.
Tracking Progress and Celebrating Success
Finally, it’s important to track your progress and celebrate your successes, no matter how small. Our online fitness membership includes a mobile app that makes it easy to track your progress and celebrate your achievements.
Making working out a habit may not be easy, but it’s definitely worth it. Remember, it’s not about making drastic changes overnight, but rather about making small, sustainable changes over time.
