It’s the perfect time of year to get moving.
In spring our inspiration levels are high. Whether it’s a big spring clean or picking up a new hobby – as the days get longer, we feel more motivated. Which is why it is such an important time for fitness. Especially if you are returning to exercise after a long winter break. So, take advantage of this natural energy boost and start moving. You’ll feel great and get to enjoy a healthier and happier you as we move into summer.
Excited to start your spring fitness but not sure where to start? Use these easy tips to jump back into exercise.
Work Out In Nature
There is something primal about working up a sweat in the great outdoors. But it’s much more fun as the weather begins to soften and you can experience the natural world coming back to life. And an outdoor workout can be as intense or as laid back as you choose. Just getting out and walking every day can be a great foundational step in your fitness journey. As you start to feel stronger, this can develop into a more challenging bike ride or simple bodyweight workout. An outdoor workout can get the endorphins pumping like almost nothing else.
Stop Making Excuses
It’s too cold. I’m too tired. I’m just not that type of person. These are excuses that most of us have made at one time or another. And the reason we can spend months or even years putting off what is good for us. See this spring as what it is – a new beginning, and allow yourself a clean slate. No excuses. No stalling. No regrets. Start doing the things that are good for your body.
Give Your Diet a Spring Makeover
Forget cold nights curled up with pizza. This spring calls for something lighter and fresher. Your workout starts in the kitchen, and no amount of sweat can outrun a poor diet. Fuel your body for spring with fresh, healthy meals and start to cut down on processed foods packed with refined sugars and fats. Aim to eat well 80% of the time to keep your spring fitness kick on track.
Escape Your Desk (Every Day)
If you have a sedentary job, it’s important to inject as much movement as possible into your daily grind. This means no more scrolling through Instagram at your desk as you eat your lunch. Get out and get walking. Explore your city and enjoy the chance to grab some fresh air every day. A little exercise can go a long way, turning movement into a habit that you won’t want to quit.
