HOW TO CONTINUE PROGRESSING YOUR FITNESS
Did you complete Evelyn’s 4 week Spring Into March Fitness Programme? - if so, congratulations!!! We hope you’re feeling stronger in body and mind, fitter, and more energised. If you missed it, don’t worry, all workouts can be found on the on-demand library.
If you completed the benchmark at the beginning of the programme it's now time to repeat it. Make sure you repeat it feeling fresh (i.e. not after a live HIIT class) and use the same exercise options as before. How did you get on? We would love to hear how you progressed and found the programme.
Now the programme has come to an end you may be wondering what’s next?
At Balance + Glo we believe in taking a sustainable approach to our wellness, creating a movement routine that is realistic, has a positive impact on your overall health, and is holistic (e.g. includes different types of movements). We are not into quick-fixes and therefore we don’t want you to stop here. It’s time to dive a little deeper and really understand your motivations for movement.
Below Evelyn, Head of Fitness, shares how to continue progressing your fitness through understanding your movement motivations.
Movement Motivations
I want you to take some time to think about your top 3 goals movement goals. With each of these goals, I want you to question why you want it - do you want to move to feel stronger, fitter or more confident, improve your physical and or/mental health, get back to fitness, train for a particular event or something else?
I want you to really think about these goals, what they look like, and why they are important to you. Once you’ve done this, write down your motivations and put them somewhere you will see them on a regular basis. You are more likely to meet your goal if you can see what you have to do, rather than just think what you have to do.
Next break down these down into weekly mini goals - these should be easy to measure, keep on top of, and importantly be achievable (whilst still challenging you). These easy to achieve goals will help boost your confidence and increase the likelihood of meeting your overall goal.
Examples of mini goals to increase strength include:
Attend Evelyn’s live Strength Class on Friday (or catch-up on-demand)
Repeat Evelyn’s Spring Into March Strength on-demand series (option to increase the weight or intensity of the moves)
Attending a Live Yoga class - yoga complements strength training (it will improve core and upper body strength, endurance, and aid recovery)
Attend Evelyn’s Level-Up Strength outdoor Class
Examples of mini goals to increase fitness include:
Attend Evelyn’s live HIIT class on Monday
Complete a HIIT class on the on demand library
Attend Evelyn’s Power-Up HIIT outdoor Class
Go for a run
Try an energising yoga flow from the on demand library
Write down you mini goals for the week and add them to your calendar. By scheduling them in you are more likely to meet them and hold yourself accountable. Importantly, however small celebrate achievement of the small goals - shout about it, tell a friend or partner, and write down how it makes you feel!
Remember YOU HAVE GOT THIS! And if you ever feel like you haven’t reach out. We are hear for you!
