- Seek a healthy balance between cardio, strength, and stretching. Alternate between cardio and strength workouts.
- Social media is meant to be just that: social! Post online about your workouts and encourage your friends to be doing the same, that way you’re holding each other accountable.
- When you don’t feel like doing a workout at all, tell yourself you’ll just do a light workout or half of a video. Chances are that once you’ve started, you’ll feel motivated to do the whole thing.
- Wear workout clothes that make you feel good about yourself. It doesn’t matter that no one will see you in them, this step is completely for you!
