On this blog we talk about habits a lot. And that’s because its your habits that are ultimately determining the results you are getting.
So if you aren’t getting the results you want from your workouts, change your habits.
Here are a few simple habits you can incorporate into your workouts.
Be Consistent
Get in the habit of being consistent.
That means showing up even when you don’t feel like it. You will never be successful with your workout plan if you don’t actually stick to it.
Its amazing how people complain about their lack of results when they consistently miss workouts. It just doesn’t make sense.
If you want results you have to be consistent. PERIOD!
One of the best ways to stick with your workout plan is to do something you actually enjoy.
Sounds simple, but most people completely overlook this.
If you absolutely despise going to the gym, then don’t go to the gym. Find a different way to workout. You can run outside, you can do at home workouts, you can ride your bike….
It really doesn’t matter what you do as long as you are moving.
Aim to get around 30 minutes of exercise per day.
Build Muscle
One of the biggest mistakes newbies make in the gym is spending all their time doing cardio. Yes, cardio is important and you should do it, but your main focus should be on building muscle.
The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn. Even when you are at rest.
So ladies, don’t be afraid to lift heavy weights. Doing so will help you get that lean, curvy physique you want.
If you don’t have any weights, use your own bodyweight as resistance. Squats, pushups, and lunges are all great bodyweight exercises that can help you build muscle.
Do Interval Training
High Intensity Interval Training, also known as HIIT, is the best type of training you can do.
It burns massive calories and will get you in tip top condition in a relatively short amount of time.
With interval training you will alternate between brief bursts of intense activity followed by a short rest period.
An example would be, run as fast as you can for 30 seconds, and then rest for 2 minutes. Repeat this interval 6 times. It may sound simple, but trust us, it is not easy.
And there you have it….
Three simple workout habits you can start implementing today!
