What was your new years resolution again? Something about getting in shape and being happy in 2019?
I found these tips to help you stick with it, because the worst part about resolutions is falling off the bandwagon. lol SALE NEW INSTA MENS FRANKIE'S LULI FAMA SAUVAGE Hey there! I thought we would skip our regularly scheduled bikini programming to talk about A. fitness B. life goals and C. cute workout outfits. Not sure if you knew this, but we actually have a secret Instagram account (ok not so secret) called @LuxeSweat, that's all fitness and health related. Give it a follow if self improvement & fitspo is your thing! If your resolution this year is to get in better shape this year (which let's face it, is kind of a forever resolution), make it more specific with one of these smarter resolution ideas: 1. Plank two to three times a week. Instead of resolving to just "get fit" (vague much?), target your core—the center of all your movements. Having a strong core translates to [strength in] so many other movements. To make it happen, work on mastering a high plank—holding your body in a straight, strong line for 60 seconds. Then take it to your forearms, maintaining good form for one minute there, too. Aim to do this once a day, two to three times a week, and you'll see great results in the long run. Try to do them in front of a mirror or take a picture or video of yourself to make sure you have good form. 2. Plan your workouts week by week. This one's easy: Choose a number of workouts per week you’d like tackle. (Think: three to four to start) Then, at the start of each week, plan your fitness schedule. This is a much easier goal to accomplish on a daily basis, compared to a long-term goal of weight loss. But in the end, you just might see the scale budge thanks to your newfound regular, consistent workout routine. While that can be as simple as: I'm going to do a Spin class on Tuesday, do an arm workout at the gym on Wednesday, and then go for a run on Saturday, you can also check out this 28-day workout plan if you need even more inspiration. 3. Walk 1,000 more steps a day. If you haven't jumped on the fitness tracker bandwagon yet, it's time. "I tell my patients to walk everywhere," says Nicole Weinberg, M.D., a cardiologist at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California. "Even if you live in an area where you drive to get from place to place, parked in the parking lot far away from the door and walk there." Walking won't just help keep your metabolism humming along—it's also great for heart health, brain health, joints, and more. Granted, you're not going to be able to go from couch potato to 10,000 steps a day overnight. Instead, aim for adding 1,000 steps to your daily routine. When that feels easy, add another 1,000—and see if you can get up to 10,000 or even a bit higher. 4. Spend nine minutes waking up your body. We’re not saying you need to go for a run every morning, but kick off your day with a little movement, and you’ll feel so. much. better—and maybe even more awake. We suggest doing what’s called controlled articular rotations (a.k.a. CARS), which includes arm circles, hip circles, cat-cow, or simply bending and flexing your joints. A good New Year's resolution idea: Two times a week, take time in the morning to do three minutes each of neck rolls, ankle rolls (both either standing or seated), and hip circles (from an all-fours position). This will hit all the typical tight spots, helping to improve mobility. While your New Year's Resolution is a great place to start moving in the right direction, don't forget to keep with it! If you find yourself falling off the bandwagon, and need a little reminder to keep on going (we all do sometimes) then give us a shout and we would be happy to send some motivational words your way.Happy Holidays!
