A few months have passed since we rang in the new year and while we were good at getting back into our workout routine after the Christmas break, there is no denying we’ve lulled as of late.
But now we’ve found some inspiration in the upcoming Afterpay Day sales!
Once we update our wardrobes with new leggings, jackets, sneakers, and cute accessories like yoga mats and hats, we’ll be all set to work out like Kim Kardashian.
Well… maybe not quite! While some new digs and good intentions can get you into the gym, they don’t necessarily make you stay.
Luckily there are some strategies you can implement to ensure your workout success.
You can start training with a friend for motivation and some company to add a little fun and banter to the otherwise serious venue.
After you can reward yourself with a chocolate protein shake, a bite of black chocolate, or anything that sings to your heart’s content – look, health fanatics and gym bros don’t encourage sweets, but everything in moderation is always worth it! Life’s too short to ignore your sweet tooth.
If you’re worried about too many fellow gymgoers ruining your workout, ask your gym when they are quiet during the day and strategically plan to pop in when everyone else is gone.
They say knowledge is power, so keep track of your progress to see your results in real-time by downloading apps like Basic-FIT and Virtual Coach to measure your success.
Working out at your own pace will yield the best results.

Finally, be realistic! Working out isn’t a competition, nor have you failed if you go from working out every day to every now and then.
By moving through your fitness journey at your own pace, the more you will enjoy the journey (which has no destination) and keep at it.
Shopping counts as cardio, right?
