2023 is peeking round the corner and so it’s a great time to look at ways to improve your fitness routine or infuse some newness in some way, shape, or form. Everything is about change and progression; stagnancy always leads to a plateau or a leveling off in your fitness if you don’t inject some creativity into what you are doing! Fortunately, there are many avenues to consider when looking at what changes to make to enhance what you do to be a better, happier, and healthier version of yourself. Here we explore some ways that you can ‘pump up the volume’ to set clear goals and get the best fitness progressions from what you do!
Assess your current situation
Ok, it sounds obvious! Think in terms of where you are now and where you would like to be. When you can look at things honestly it allows you to make the right decisions and choices to make the necessary changes. Know where you are to get to where you want to be!
What do you want to achieve?
Once you establish your start point for changes you want to make, begin to think in terms of what you want from your fitness routine; is it better legs, increased cardio, weight loss, better muscle tone and definition, or just to really feel good? Try to always be clear when you think about your fitness objectives so that you can find a clear and consistent route toward them.
Write Goals down!
When you write your goals down you begin the creative route toward them; you plant that seed in your mind of what you want to achieve. Writing goals down in a clear and concise way is a little step with a big impact toward your fitness aims. Never neglect the little things on your route to a happier and healthier you; all the little steps add up to greater things. Keep your goals written down and placed where you can see them daily to serve as a mental reminder of what you want to achieve and aspire to. Connect mentally and emotionally to what you want to achieve, how will reaching those goals make you feel?
Be realistic and keep things simple!
Sometimes we can jump too far ahead and lose ourselves in the good intentions. It’s great to have good intentions but they need a solid plan of action behind them that needs to be both realistic and simple. Don’t confuse and complicate what you want to achieve with too much detail! Be clear about the time you have available for workouts and how often you can commit to them. A conscious commitment is more valuable than a good intention.
Take action!
Once you have made a firm commitment to how you will improve your fitness the next step is to take action toward it! Plan your workouts ahead of time and stay motivated to get them done; always make sure that you enjoy what you do. We are always motivated to action by things we love doing!
Have a plan B!
Life is not always smooth running and sometimes things come up unexpectedly that may interfere with your training routine. When you have a plan B in place it means that you are always prepared! As an example, a good plan B is to have a home workout session you can adjust or adapt to when needed. You may even really enjoy home workouts as you can cater them to your individual need; but always make sure that there is some progression involved, either in terms of frequency, time, intensity; or the type of exercise that you are doing. Adding new things to your fitness plan always creates a bit of a ‘jump start’ to your muscles and metabolism when you work them in a way they aren’t used to!
