In case you didn’t know, this month we’re challenging you to improve your health and wellness with achievable, weekly lifestyle changes (if you haven’t already, try our tips for better nutrition and sleep).
This week, we’re challenging you to level up your fitness. Here’s our 5 easy fitness tips to help you make small steps for big changes!
1. Do exercise you actually enjoy
To help you make exercise a habit (and to ensure you do it even on those cold, dark mornings where sleeping in is all too tempting), choose a sport or workout you actually enjoy! That is, don’t sign up for a gym membership if it’s really getting outside in nature that keeps you motivated.
Your DNA influences the training style best suited to you. Our Personalised Wellness Kit can reveal whether you’re better suited to power, endurance or a mix of both. By understanding your genetic profile, you can personalise your workouts to help you achieve your fitness goals faster – train smarter, not harder!
Dedicate at least 10 minutes either side of your workout for stretches and recovery – especially important for those with genes associated with an increased risk of injury (our Personalised Wellness Kit can reveal this)! We recommend practicing dynamic stretches before exercise and static stretches after. Foam rolling before and after training, particularly on areas that are sore, can also be beneficial!
Cross-training involves combining different sports and exercise into your fitness regime to improve strength, power, fitness, aerobic capacity and flexibility. It can also help combat imbalances and over-use injuries, which can be created from doing just one sport all the time.
Need some ideas? The myDNA Unlocked app recommends you a DNA-powered workout plan, so you’ll never be stuck for ideas! Additionally, you could give one of the following sports a go to compliment your workout routine: swimming, cycling, running, walking, rowing, weight training or Pilates.
