For many of us, the idea of exercising feels like a lot of work. After finding the right workout for you, you still need to complete the reps and sets or run a certain amount of miles which can be overwhelming. To create the perfect exercise routine, you have to listen to your body and find workouts that work for you. Here are some tips for creating a no-pressure workout.

Plan Your Workouts Ahead of Time

If you’re working out at home, planning your workouts ahead of time can help you stay committed to doing them. Find a YouTube fitness influencer you like and subscribe for updates when they upload new videos. Next time you want to workout, just head to their page and click on a video that interests you.

I’ve always been told doing workout for 1 hour in the gym or running outside for multiple days in a week is the most efficient way to go! especially when I was trying to lose weight… Well, when I started in 2016 to focus on my eating habits and physical activities, I slowly pushed myself to try different workouts from youtube and pinterest. I did go to the gym & going to the gym was great, still is, but I was not committed enough to make it at least 3 times a week… After trying multiple applications and blogs, I found out the the 30-minute planned workout a day is more effective than an hour outspread. Found out that no-one is watching or judging me if I drop a pound when the workout gets heavy. It was an ease of mind to know I can get an activity based on my fitness level and I can do it in the basement, living room, near the beach or even a hotel gym! Being on my own time and place gives the power to push harder and reach my fitness goals. Give me 30 minutes a day for 21 days and I'll get you on the path of healthier eating plans, routine exercise and a better attitude and outlook on life!

Can’t wait to learn more about you!💕 — همیشه به من گفته بودن که اگه میخوای وزن کم کنی برو روزی یک ساعت تو باشگاه تمرین کن بقیه روزها هم برو بیرون بدو😕 من از ۲۰۱۶ که تصمیم به رعایت غذا خوردن و ورزش‌م کردم کم کم خودمو راضی کردم برم باشگاه سرکوچه و ورزش کنم. از یوتیوب و پینترست حرکت میدیدم و حرکت میزدم واسه خودم. ولی انقدر منظم نبود و گاها میدیدی ۳ بار در هفته هم نمیرفتم باشگاه (با اینکه کار هم گرفته بودم اونجا). اپلیکیشن ورزشی زیاد امتحان کردم، وبلاگ زیاد خوندم تا به این نتیجه رسیدم که ۳۰ دقیقه ورزش مفید بهتر از یک ساعت پراکنده تو باشگاه چیزای مختلف و برم. تازه تو خونه که ورزش میکنم هر طور که دوست دارم ورزش میکنم هیچکس هم نیست که نگاه کنه یا بگه چرا دمبل و انداختی وقتی سخت شد😒مثلا… اینکه یه برنامه منظم تو دستم داشته باشم و بدونم میتونم برنامه رو هرجا چه تو خونه چه کنار آب یا تو باشگاه هتل هم ورزش کنم بهم این قدرت و میده تا دیگه دلیل نیارم و نگم باشگاه دوره، سرده سخته و اینا. 🔻🔻

Don’t Be Hard on Yourself

Not every day will be an amazing workout, as some days you’ll be able to run farther or lift more weight than other days. Any movement is better than none and if you’re off the couch, that’s a great start!

Time Yourself With a Playlist or Podcast

Instead of watching the clock for your workout to be finished, time yourself with a playlist or find a podcast to listen to while your run.

Eat What Makes You Feel Good

Putting too much focus on what you should eat and only eating protein and vegetables all the time, isn’t healthy and you’ll just crave junk food after a while. Find a happy medium and some smarter snacking options.
