How to Start Exercising and Stick to It

“That’s it! This year, I’m going to start working out regularly!” Congrats! You’ve made the right choice. Now your mission is to stick to your commitment so that you can enjoy all the benefits of regular physical activity down the road. Get into new fitness habits and boost your motivation with these priceless tips from the FizzUp trainer. We guarantee you’ll manage to start exercising and stick to it!

START EXERCISING AND STICK TO IT BY CREATING A WORKOUT SCHEDULE

Is exercise part of your future plans? To make sure your commitment will last, the first thing you need to do is create a workout schedule. To start, ask yourself when you’d have time to work out. Don’t just think about a specific hour of the day. Remember, FizzUp workouts only last 20 minutes, so there’s a high chance you’ve got several opportunities to squeeze them in throughout your week. Wondering when the best time to work out is? The time that works for you, whether that’s at the crack of dawn, during your lunch break or when you get home from work. Anytime is a good time to work out with FizzUp!

Get a calendar and write down the exact days when you’ll do your FizzUp workouts and stick to that commitment. It’s hard to get results if you only work out every now and then. All it takes is three 20 to 30-minute workouts a week to make progress and feel the actual body benefits. With the FizzUp app, it’s so easy to track your activity from one level to the next. Then, set a clear goal to help you stay on course and measure your results along the way.

START EXERCISING AND STICK TO IT BY KEEPING YOUR MOTIVATION INTACT

Try this trick to stay motivated all year long and keep working out on a regular basis: think of motivation as a spark that drives you and gives you the strength to awaken your inner athlete. To maintain your motivation over the long run, you have to sustain and stimulate it in order for it to turn into a habit that you can’t live without. But what do you have to do to strengthen your motivation?

There are lots of ways you can get motivated and stick to your fitness commitments:

• No more hassles! With FizzUp, you can simplify your life and enjoy a fun, varied and personalized workout routine that’s right for your needs and fitness level. No level is too hard or too easy. We use an evaluation at the beginning of each one to make sure the rest of the workouts are adapted to suit you. Get equipment-free workouts at home for less hassle and more wellness.
• Relieve stress. When you do your FizzUp workout, you’re spending time focusing on your health. It’s an opportunity to escape, clear your head and relieve stress you’ve accumulated throughout the day. Keep this in mind and tell yourself that spending time having fun and improving your wellness will quickly pay off. It’s also a good idea to try some meditation to build mental strength of steel.
• Your wellness is vital. Exercising and sticking to your commitments is extremely gratifying. With regular physical activity, you’ll make improvements both physically AND mentally. A fit body, boosted self-confidence and the pride you feel when you follow through with your pledge are the keys to feeling incredible in your body and mind.

• Boost your mood. Regular exercise is extraordinarily rejuvenating. It triggers the production of serotonin, dopamine and endorphins, which are all hormones that have amazing benefits for your mood and wellness. After your workout, you’ll feel happy, relaxed and full of energy, so why pass these perks up?
• Turn to others for support. Need some extra moral support? FizzUp is all about cooperation, not competition. Find Team FizzUp right in your app under the “Social” tab. You’re never alone on your journey to a better body. The trainer is there to send you workout reminders whenever you happen to fall short of your fitness commitment or tips when your motivation takes a hit.

START EXERCISING AND STICK TO IT BY PUTTING AN END TO EXCUSES

After you decided to start exercising and stick to it, you probably asked yourself if you could really follow this through and find yourself in situations where you want to exercise, but you’re tired or don’t have time. Those are poor excuses! When they rear their ugly heads, be your own source of motivation. Don’t let the temptation of a sedentary lifestyle get the best of you by proving to yourself that you CAN succeed.

• “I don’t have time to work out”: Remember, your FizzUp workouts only last 20 minutes on average. That’s time spent focusing on no one but yourself without any distractions.
• “I’m too tired to work out”: What a coincidence! A lack of physical activity is actually the reason why you’re tired. Exercise boosts your energy and helps you outlast more physical demands throughout your day.
