Making Fitness Easy from Douglasville Personal Trainer Dave Hansey
One thing I try to stress to anyone starting a new fitness routine is to find something that you like to do for your cardio. Do you enjoy the outdoors, then running the trails at some of Douglasville’s parks might be ideal. Do you hate cold weather, the rain, getting your shoes dirty, etc – then outdoor running is not for you. See where I am going here? Pick an activity that FITS YOU and your life rather than trying to force yourself to do something that you are not fond of.
Now — you actually have to DO IT. So be sure to pick something that time wise fits your lifestyle. Do you like to do things with other people? Then perhaps fitness classes. Although be wary of fitness classes whose schedules do not fit yours. You have to GO to be successful so if the fitness classes are at times that do not fit your schedule or that require a lot of rescheduling of the rest of your life, then that might not be for you.
Ok — now something that works for your fitness level. While personal training will be UNIQUE to you and is the ideal, some people cannot afford it. So if you decide to do a fitness class, pick one that meets all the scheduling criteria but ALSO is one that you can go at your own pace. The class at the Douglasville Gym where I work that I recommend most is Ride, it is a spinning type class on bikes. Great workout and great for beginners because you go at your own pace.
So remember these 3 things to make fitness a HABIT and a great change to your health
- FUN (you love it)
- FITS (into your schedule)
- FOR YOU (right for your fitness level and unique needs)
