Right Space

Right Class

You should put in some effort into your virtual workouts long before joining your first class. Picking the right one makes all the difference because you’ll struggle giving it your all if the class isn’t the right fit for you. Get all the information that you can beforehand and check out workouts with a free trial so you wouldn’t be stuck in a class that you hate.

Right Medium

The way you’re watching your virtual class can make all the difference. It goes without saying that phones and tablets are the worst possible option because you’ll barely see anything. Laptops are a better alternative, but a TV is your best bet if you can connect it to your computer because it’s the closest it gets to the real thing.

The post 3 Ways to Make the Best Out Of Your Virtual Workouts appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.

Using Your Phone

Most people use their phones to stream virtual workouts, but other devices are a much better fit. The tricky thing about phones is that you can get easily distracted by calls, texts, and social media notifications, and that’s why it’s better to leave it in a separate room during your class.

Camera Off

Turning your camera on during virtual classes can be scary and intimidating, but sometimes it’s the only thing keeping you accountable. It will inspire you to give it your all because you’ll know there are other people watching—just like in an actual fitness class.

No Communication

Communication with your trainer is crucial during both physical and virtual classes. You shouldn’t shy away from asking questions and addressing your concerns, especially if you’re dealing with pain and soreness and need modifications or help to properly do certain moves.

Set a Step Count Challenge

Need a way to stay motivated? Set up a weekly step challenge leading up to the holidays or see who can get the most steps on a certain day. You can even set prizes for the winner!

Do an Indoor Walking Workout on Zoom

If it’s too cold outside or it’s rainy, you can get a great walking workout indoors where you set up a live video chat on FaceTime or Zoom and participate with others. You can include stairs and bodyweight exercises.

Follow a Group Workout Plan

Are you one of those people who needs structure to stay consistent with your workouts? Then, set up a few weeks of walking workouts on a spreadsheet and share it with your friends and family. You can include goals and have everyone put in their progress each week.

Do Virtual Walking Events

Due to the pandemic, race organizers have started creating more virtual walking and running events. This year, you can do a holiday event like a turkey trot or Jingle Bell 5K virtually.

Fitness Level

Many people tend to give up their virtual classes after noticing they’re unable to keep up. You can avoid this by being true to yourself from the get-go, and picking the class that suits your current fitness level.

Right Fit

The more you like your virtual workout sessions, the less likely you’ll be to skip them. Before signing up for a new class, check if they have a free trial, so you can see what the class looks like and if it suits your needs.

Sense of Community

It always comes in handy to have a workout body—even during virtual workouts. Sign up for a class with one of your friends, or stay in touch with your virtual workout buddies on social media or in a group chat where you can motivate each other and share useful tips.
