How to be fit and sexy by summer? With the help of apps and easy home workouts, you can achieve your dream figure in just a few months
Seven Sloths
There are several tips for home exercises. For example, a real exercise for sloths - the morning seven-minute exercise. If you can't bring yourself to be active, we recommend starting from the woods like this. No artificial gaps in the daily routine, changing clothes or other complications. Check it off immediately upon waking - start right in bed. And in literally minutes, you'll move to the floor and... you're done!
Dance it out!
Did you know that many people have lost weight by shaking their hearts to their favourite music at home? Give it a shot. When cooking, cleaning or just during the day - dance! And do it properly, as if no one can see you. This exercise is not a brain-buster, but as a physical activity it definitely works!
Bring Sally up!
Do you know this song?
No?
Well, now you do. And it's a great motivator. You can do push-ups, squats, weights... anything you can think of. Her tempo is so catchy! Definitely recommended for working out with friends. You'll definitely have fun! It's no coincidence that several viral internet challenges have been created for this exact track.
Perhaps you can already think of another system that can be implemented in the privacy of your own home. There are countless exercises for those who haven't yet taken the plunge and are eager to stay in the comfort of the familiar while doing it. We have selected just a few examples for you. So let's get to it!
SOS, I can't do it alone!
You're not the only ones. If you still can't think of anything you'd be willing to organize yourself, how about a game that does it for you? It will guide you through the exercise, record everything for you, and the results will just pour in!
Seven minutes with the app
We've already talked about the seven-minute exercise. But did you know that someone can check it for you? Try Seven. It's free!
Smartomat dives deep in its article on app recommendations, recommending apps like Home workout - no equipments, 30 Day Fitness Challenge Pro, Freeletics, Fitify, Nike training club, and Adidas Running by Runtastic. So there's plenty to choose from!
Well, yes, but how to get motivated to exercise so regularly, you ask?
Don't put exercise at the bottom of your priority list
Too many people see exercise as something they'll do if they can find the time, which means physical activity can easily slip out of the weekly routine altogether. Work, social obligations, appointments and running a household can easily swallow up all your time if you allow them to. You need to give exercise the same amount of attention as planning anything else. Ideally, you should always set up this routine before the week begins.
Variety is key
You wouldn't want to condemn yourself to reading the same book or watching the same TV show over and over again, but do you do that with exercise? That's a big mistake! Try more, vary it up and have fun!
Create a great playlist
If you have a workout playlist, make sure you add new songs regularly - whether they're new hits or old classics. We all know it - the obsession with songs changes over time, and what we enjoyed in December may not work in January.
Don't always practice alone
Exercising alone is very comfortable, but it definitely helps if you can pull yourself out of the slumber with someone else - just make sure your workout partner is a person with determination and won't drag you down!
Don't overthink it
If you give yourself too much leeway, you're bound to find an excuse to skip exercise "for once" (and forever). Of course - if you're sick, injured or really can't get out of the office, there's no need to beat yourself up for skipping exercise, but beware of excuses! Just go. Don't relieve yourself by inventing new and new obstacles.
Is it slow or hard going? Don't get discouraged!
We all have days when we don't feel like exercising, and that's okay. Don't get discouraged by small setbacks. Every new day is an opportunity to start over. The important thing is to keep moving forward. Even if one step doesn't happen every now and then. Remember that minor and major failures happen to everyone!
Get a fitness tracker
There's nothing better than being able to compare your exercise performance to keep yourself motivated! If stats are doing you good too, go for it! Get yourself a little helper that will tell you exactly what you've already mastered!
Not tomorrow, not Monday, but today!
The best time to start was yesterday, the second best time is right now. Don't convince yourself that you need the perfect plan or the perfect equipment. Start with what you have and watch your life energy change.
The reward is certain!
Are you motivated yet? That's good! Welcome to the journey to positive change and a healthier lifestyle! It's easy to get caught up in the daily routine, but now is the time to start investing in your health. Exercise isn't just about physical fitness, it's also about how you feel inside - full of energy, motivation and joy. And that is undoubtedly a beautiful reward!
