You and I are human. We want to be pain free and have a killer body at the drop of a hat. But let's be honest- that's not realistic. Ever heard the expression, "easy come, easy go." Yea? Well, that applies to health and wellness as well.
You COULD do barre and Pilates every day. It's entirely possible and it's not bad for you. But like I said, we're human and it's not realistic to do it every day.
It's important to set a practical exercise schedule that you can maintain rather than set a target of exercising every day and then not doing it.
Accomplishment is a great motivator, and setting realistic goals is VITAL to that success.
Here is the insider's guide to setting up a workout routine that will actually stick and not make you feel like sh*t about yourself.
Option 1: At home workouts
Set aside 10 to 15 minutes two times a week to do a quick workout. (You can try this one here.)
Once you have gotten into a regular routine of doing 10-15 minute workouts twice a week, try increasing the length of the workout to 20-30 minutes.
If you are used to exercising, but you have not figured out how to make it a regular part of your routine, increase your workout time to 45 to 60 minutes twice a week.
When looking to increase your workouts, you can find an ever-growing library of workouts on Barre Roots Online.
Option 2: Group classes
Sunday morning* look at your schedule for the week and look at the group class schedule on my website. Pick one class that you are able to come to that week, and then book it right away.
*It is important that you do this in the morning and not at night, because you will be tired come Sunday night, and the motivation to schedule a workout will be gone.
You also want to go ahead and book the class because that will build a level of accountability for yourself. Since you paid for it, you have to go.
Once you get a couple weeks of attending once class regularly each week, then move to on attending a second class. And once you start to attend two classes regularly, you can increase from there
Option 3: Private session
You have goals. A motivation as to why you want to work out. Maybe it's to fit into a smaller size. Maybe it's to live pain free. Whatever it may be, that is what is driving you.
Sunday morning, sit down and look at your schedule, and then book one private session that week, and for the next three weeks* after that. Just one day each week, no more. Again, it is important that you do this in the morning and not at night when you might lose that motivation.
*You are booking one session each week for four weeks because you will end up saving money.
Once you complete those four sessions, assess how you feel, and either book out another four weeks, or see if you can fit group classes into your schedule.
Barre and Pilates are nonimpact workouts that will give you remarkable results.
These workout modalities are the perfect way to start exercising or to add to your current workout schedule. The results will come fast if you are loyal to your commitment!
