How to Stay Motivated in Your Fitness Practice
X˙CORE Pilates and Versaclimber are fantastic forms of exercise that can help you build strength, flexibility, and balance. However, just like with any exercise routine, it can be challenging to stay motivated and committed to your practice over time. That's why we've put together some tips to help you stay motivated in your practice with us!
Set Goals
One of the best ways to stay motivated in your practice is to set goals for yourself. Having a clear idea of what you want to achieve can help you stay focused and motivated. When setting goals, make sure they are specific, measurable, and achievable. For example, you could set a goal to do X˙CORE three times a week, hold a plank for one minute by the end of the month, or aim for 3000 feet climbed on the Versaclimber.
Find an Accountability Partner
Having an accountability partner can be a great way to stay motivated in your practice. This could be a friend or family member who is also interested in Pilates or the Versaclimber, or it could be a professional instructor who can keep you on track. Having someone to share your goals and progress with can help keep you motivated and accountable.
Vary Your Routine
Doing the same routine every day can quickly become boring and demotivating. To keep things interesting, try varying your routine. You could try Pilates one day for strength and the VersaClimber on another day for cardio. Changing up your routine can keep things interesting and help prevent boredom. AND, not only does changing your routine help, but at X˙CORE, we have such a variety of instructors that there is a flavor for everyone!
Use Technology
There are many apps and online resources available to help you stay motivated! You could use our X˙CORE app to track your progress and see how often you’re coming to class, or you can use an app like MyFitnessPal to track your activity and more. You may also want to consider joining online forums to get tips and stay accountable with your practice.
Reward Yourself
Finally, don't forget to reward yourself for your hard work and dedication. Set small rewards for yourself when you reach your goals, such as treating yourself to a massage or buying a new accessory. Celebrating your achievements and small milestones can help keep you motivated and make your practice feel more enjoyable.
Staying motivated in your practice is essential to achieving your fitness goals. By setting clear goals, finding an accountability partner, varying your routine/instructors, using technology, and rewarding yourself, you can stay motivated and committed for the long term. So why not try implementing these tips today and see how they can help you stay motivated and achieve your health and fitness goals?
