As first buds of spring begin to bloom (and allergies attack with no remorse), there’s a sense of renewal in the air that can inspire us to breathe new life into various aspects of our lives. Why not let your fitness routine be one of them? Spring is the perfect season to shake off the winter blues, reevaluate your fitness goals, and inject some fresh energy into your workouts.
Embrace the Outdoors
One of the simplest ways to revitalize your fitness routine is to step outside. The warmer weather and longer days provide the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities. Consider adding one or two outdoor workouts each week. Whether it’s a run in the park, yoga in your backyard, or a bike ride through the countryside, outdoor exercise can improve your mood and increase your vitamin D levels.
Schedule an outdoor activity this week. It could be as simple as a 30-minute walk during your lunch break. Notice how the change of scenery affects your motivation and energy levels.
Try Something New
Spring is all about new beginnings, so why not apply that to your fitness routine? Trying a new workout can not only prevent boredom but also challenge your body in new ways, leading to better fitness results. Whether it’s a dance class, a martial arts session, or a different type of group exercise class, experimenting with new activities can reignite your passion for fitness.
Research a workout you’ve never tried before and sign up for a class or find an online tutorial. Approach it with an open mind and a spirit of fun. Need ideas? Follow us on social media or join our newsletter!
Set New Goals
Reflect on your fitness goals and consider setting new ones that align with the season’s spirit of renewal. Maybe you want to improve your endurance, increase your strength, or participate in a spring fitness challenge. Setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals can provide direction and keep you motivated.
Write down one new fitness goal for this spring. Make a plan outlining the steps you’ll take to achieve it, and track your progress along the way.
Refresh Your Playlist
Music can be a powerful motivator during exercise. Updating your workout playlist with new, energizing tracks can make your fitness routine feel fresh and exciting. Choose songs that uplift you and match the intensity of your workouts. This can not be understated. Changing up the music and playlists was overwhelmingly the most requested change when I took the helm at Shred 27!
Create a new playlist with songs that make you feel energized and excited to move. Try it out during your next workout and observe how it affects your performance and enjoyment.
Join a Community
Accountability and support from a fitness community can be incredibly motivating. Whether it’s a running club, a fitness class, or an online group, connecting with others who share your fitness interests can provide a sense of camaraderie and encouragement.
