Not only is it a great time to get back into a consistent rhythm, but it\u2019s also an excellent time to add change and structure to your daily routine.<\/p>\n<p>This seasonal transition offers the chance to reassess your goals, reignite your motivation, and explore new ways to move.\u00a0 The best part is that you don\u2019t have to jump into anything overwhelming.\u00a0 Let\u2019s ease back into fitness with four simple strategies that fit seamlessly into your life so that you can \u201cfall\u201d back into your fitness routine!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Create a Fitness Sanctuary<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Find Your Peaceful Place: <\/strong>Designating a space for your workouts can make all the difference in sticking with your routine. Your sanctuary could be in your home or a place outdoors. If it\u2019s set in your home, you may include a mat and some calming accessories like candles, essential oils, or motivational quotes. Make this your go-to spot to unwind and focus on your well-being. This personal zone will help you associate fitness with self-care to give you a mental and physical space to decompress while working on your goals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take Advantage of Outdoor Activities: <\/strong>Fall offers perfect weather for outdoor workouts. Whether it\u2019s a brisk walk through the park, a hike, or a family bike ride, moving outside can be both refreshing and fun. For a Total Gym twist, try bringing your equipment outdoors for an invigorating workout in nature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Refresh Your Playlist: <\/strong>Music has a magical way of boosting motivation and transforming your workout vibe. If your current playlist feels stale, change it up with fresh tracks that match the intensity of your fall workouts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Start with 5 Minutes of Movement<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You don\u2019t need an hour-long workout to make progress. In fact, starting small can be the most sustainable approach! Just five minutes of movement can reignite your fitness habits.\u00a0 This could include a quick stretch, a Total Gym squat set, or a core circuit.\u00a0 These short sessions are easy to fit into your day and can build momentum for longer workouts over time. Plus, a quick burst of movement can elevate your energy which ultimately makes you feel more productive throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>To assist you with a quick movement routine, I have listed some of my favorite Total Gym stretches that will help lengthen your muscles, improve your flexibility, and release muscular tension.\u00a0 <strong>So continue reading the fall reboot tips and be sure to try the \u201cfeel good\u201d routine at the end of this blog!<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Perform a Daily Challenge<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Since it\u2019s a season of change, try committing to a daily challenge that incorporates simple tasks to enhance both your fitness and self-care. Whether you do this challenge for 7 days or 30, the goal is consistency, so these actions become healthy habits!\u00a0 Examples of a Daily Challenge could include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Steps: <\/strong>Take a 20-minute walk outside for light cardio and fresh air.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strength: <\/strong>Spend a few minutes to develop your strength with exercises like squats or planks that can be performed on or off of your Total Gym.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Activity: <\/strong>Make it your mission to work on an activity that makes you happy or on a new skill you want to learn. Practice makes progress!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Self Care Reset<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Self care is one of the greatest gifts you could give to yourself.\u00a0 When you nurture your health, your mind and body are able to work at optimal levels.\u00a0 Your self care routine should be a non negotiable part of your day, because it is your responsibility to take care of yourself!\u00a0 Incorporating a self care routine will keep you committed to your health so you feel your best inside and out.\u00a0 You may have a self care routine already, but it\u2019s always a great reminder to reset your system if you have fallen off track:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hydrate: <\/strong>Drink half your body weight in ounces of water (e.g., 150 lbs = 75 oz) to stay hydrated and energized.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mindset:<\/strong> De-stress with 10 minutes of mindfulness or meditation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Record: <\/strong>Spend a few minutes journaling to reflect on your progress and to express yourself. This is extremely healing on many levels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mantra:<\/strong> Say a daily mantra that resonates with your goals. Perhaps this is about something you are grateful for every day, a word that has a meaning to you, a saying that helps you focus, etc.\u00a0 Saying a mantra sends a message to your brain that helps set the tone to channel positive thoughts, feelings, and actions in aspects in your life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Feel Good Stretch Routine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This dynamic routine will have you feeling amazing as your body moves through a series of flexibility movements that you can do anytime on your Total Gym; pre-workout, post-workout, or as a stand alone routine.\u00a0 Remember, a little movement goes a long way and your Total Gym is a perfect partner to assist you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Set Up:<\/strong> Squat Stand \/ Medium Level<\/p>\n<p><strong>Directions: <\/strong>Flow through the following stretch sequences.\u00a0 Allow your body to explore different ranges of motion as you utilize the glide board to enhance each exercise.\u00a0 Pay attention to what your body needs and feels by either holding the stretch for a few seconds or by dynamically moving the glide board into a deeper stretch.\u00a0 The goal is to \u201cfeel good\u201d while your body\u2019s in motion.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Total Gym video<\/strong> explains and demonstrates each of the exercises.\u00a0 While watching the video, take note of how to position your body correctly on the glide board and feel free to adjust the incline at any time to ensure the movement adapts comfortably to your body\u2019s flexibility level.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Stretch Sequence #1<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Runners Lunge<\/li>\n<li>Hamstring Rocks<\/li>\n<li>Forward Fold<\/li>\n<li>Cobra (standing or kneeling)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>REPEAT OTHER SIDE<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Stretch Sequence #2<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Seated Running<\/li>\n<li>Figure 4 Stretch<\/li>\n<li>Seated Forward Fold<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><u>Stretch Sequence #3<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cat-Cow +lateral flexion<\/li>\n<li>Runners Lunge +Rotation<\/li>\n<li>Hamstring Rocks<\/li>\n<li>Forward Fold<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>REPEAT OTHER SIDE<\/p>\n<p><em>Incorporate these sequences often so your muscles learn the motions and it becomes routine!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This fall, take small, consistent steps to boost your fitness and well-being.\u00a0 The more consistent you are, the easier these tasks will become part of your daily routine to help you build long-lasting habits for a healthier lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Keep it simple, stay consistent, and make this season your healthiest yet!<\/p>\n<p>Maria<\/p>\n<p><u>@<\/u><u>GR<\/u><u>OO<\/u><u>V<\/u><u>Y<\/u><u>S<\/u><u>WE<\/u><u>AT<\/u><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.totalgymdirect.com\/reboot-your-fitness-routine-this-fall-with-total-gym\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 Simple Ways to Reboot Your Fitness Routine This Fall with Total Gym Maria Sollon, MS, CSCS, PES As the leaves start to turn and the air gets crisp, there\u2019s a natural shift in energy that makes fall the perfect season to reset your fitness routine.
