Struggling to be consistent with your fitness routine? Try these easy hacks to stay on track!
We get it, it’s easy to procrastinate exercise during the holiday season and regret it on January 1st when panic sets in. Then you’ll try the next fitness fad and ditch it in a few weeks. Sound familiar? It’s time for a more sustainable way to get fit and keep fit: make exercise a part of your lifestyle instead of an on-again, off-again habit. Think it’s easier said than done? Fret not – here are seven easy fitness tips that’ll get you moving even while you enjoy the festive season.
1. Do what you like
There’s no need to force yourself to commit to 30 days of yoga or 15 days of squats if that’s not your thing! Our biggest fitness tip is to find a workout that suits your interests. Whether it’s HIIT, yoga, dance, strength training or something else, find a type of sport or exercise that makes you excited to get moving.
2. Make it convenient
Going for a workout doesn’t sound enticing when your gym is located an hour away. When you wanna eliminate the excuses, flexible and convenient options are a godsend. That’s why we like the new Power Pack Supercharged from PURE (read on to find out how you can win one!), which gives one month’s access to all eight of its locations on the island, as well as PURECAST online live-streamed classes. This means you can choose to work out from your nearest location, or just take a fitness or yoga class from home to shed some calories before your next festive gathering.
3. Dress the part
Call us crazy, but a chic workout attire gets us up and going in the morning. So here’s an underrated fitness tip for when you’re in a lazy mood: put on your best gym wear and lace up your fave sneakers. If you’re on the hunt for a functional and stylish outfit, the Power Pack has you covered with $40 worth of PURE Apparel vouchers. Shop away!
4. Seek out the pros
Starting a gym routine can be discouraging when you’re struggling to get your form right, or you can’t figure out how to work the machines and you’re too self-conscious to ask a stranger for assistance. It’s a good idea to start your fitness journey with the help of a pro. Begin with the personal training ‘Taster Trio’ package (add on $272.85 with purchase of Power Pack Supercharged, U.P. $369.15) that gives you a session of personal training, kickboxing and stretching, each under the guidance of an expert.
5. Get a workout buddy
Working out is way more fun when a trip to the gym doubles as a chance to meet your pals. Knowing that you’ll grab a coffee (or a smoothie) with a friend afterwards makes the workout go by faster. And we’re speaking from experience! Our fitness tip? Make use of the two seven-day guest passes in your Power Pack to invite a friend, stat.
6. Try something new
Sign up for a spot of yoga if you’re used to pumping iron. Hit the running track if you’ve been all about studio classes. Switching up your workout is a great motivation booster when you’ve plateaued. Plus, you might find a new workout that you fancy. Psst: if you’ve been meaning to try yoga, sign up for three private yoga classes (add on $408 with purchase of Power Pack Supercharged, U.P. $503) for more one-on-one guidance.
7. Eat healthy the easy way
Beyond the gym, eating well is a huge part of staying fit, too. And we know it’s tough to spend hours cooking or meal prepping when you have all those festive plans on the agenda. Turn to nood food for ready-made, organic, unprocessed goodness – you get $40 vouchers in your Power Pack! Not sure if your nutritional needs are being met on the reg? Get three nutrition consultation sessions (add on $260 with purchase of Power Pack Supercharged, U.P. $353.10) to discover the optimal diet for you.
