Returning from summer vacation?
Moira Riccio
Aaaah...Labor Day Weekend, Summer's almost over and while we all want to enjoy ourselves in the sun, relax with friends at barbecues, or just chill and grill, it's always hard to get back into the routine of exercising again.
Back to basics, my friends. Book your next Pilates class, call a friend to join you for a Barre class or RIPPED. Stay motivated! The longer you wait, the harder it will be, bottom line.
You may be asking yourselves, "What does a Fitness Instructor do on vacation? Does she eat nachos? What about ice cream?" The answer is yes, and yes.;) I took some time off this summer and one day stayed in my pajamas until 11am. For this early-bird girl, that's unheard of! I actually took it down a thousand and read a book... had a second or third cup of coffee and then went for a walk.
Squeezing in some fitness time is always a challenge for us, especially on vacation!
'Just gotta "put one foot in front of the other...?"
Here are a few ideas to get going again:
1. Set goals for yourself, monthly and weekly
2. Get the time into your routine~there's always busier people than you exercising!
3. Remind yourself, "What am I getting out of this?" And write it down.
4. Early bird bootcamp? Lie your workout gear out in your bathroom. Then when you first get up you won't hesitate looking at that messy closet.
5. Give yourself a little reward, preferably not a food item.
