Much like you might clear out your closet or refresh your living space this season, your fitness regimen can also benefit from a little spring cleaning. After all, fitness isn\u2019t just about the physical.\u00a0 It\u2019s also about resetting your mindset, refreshing your habits, and recommitting to goals that make you feel empowered, strong, and balanced.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can spring clean your fitness routine and set yourself up for success this season, using your Total Gym and beyond.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Evaluate Your Current Routine<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Before making changes, take a step back and evaluate where you are. What\u2019s working? What\u2019s not? Spring cleaning begins with clearing the clutter both physically and mentally.<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are you feeling challenged, or have you fallen into a rut?<\/li>\n<li>Are there specific areas (core strength, flexibility, endurance) that need attention?<\/li>\n<li>Have you been consistent, or has motivation been slipping?<\/li>\n<li>Are there exercises or habits you\u2019ve fallen into that no longer serve you?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Add Variety to Keep Things Fresh<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Just like a stagnant routine can lead to burnout, repeating the same exercises can lead to boredom and plateaus. Use the season\u2019s change as an opportunity to mix things up! Fresh movements can spark new excitement and push your body in ways it hasn\u2019t been challenged yet.<\/p>\n<p>With your Total Gym, try incorporating a variety of exercises that target different muscle groups and improve mobility, stability, and strength.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Add some <strong>Pilates-inspired moves<\/strong> to improve core engagement and posture.<\/li>\n<li>Incorporate <strong>Total Gym cardio intervals<\/strong> to elevate your endurance.<\/li>\n<li>Challenge your flexibility with <strong>dynamic stretching<\/strong> movements that use the glide board.<\/li>\n<li>Try <strong>functional movements<\/strong> that mimic daily activities that translate into real-life tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Set New Goals<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Spring cleaning isn\u2019t just about decluttering, it\u2019s also about renewal. Revisit your goals and decide if they still align with your bigger picture. Maybe you\u2019re looking to build more strength for an upcoming adventure or increase flexibility to perform better at a sport. Whatever it is, make sure your goals are specific, measurable, and achievable.<\/p>\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Short-term goal<\/strong>: Increase your Total Gym plank hold time by 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Long-term goal<\/strong>: Complete a full-body workout circuit with both strength and mobility components every week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Setting goals that energize you is key to staying motivated as you move into a new season of fitness.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Incorporate Rest and Recovery<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As we shift into warmer weather and outdoor activities, don\u2019t forget that your body needs time to recharge. Spring cleaning your fitness routine also means adding in recovery. Whether it\u2019s foam rolling, stretching, or more rest days, balancing hard workouts with recovery is essential for avoiding burnout and injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Consider integrating yoga-inspired stretches or foam rolling sessions into your weekly routine to promote flexibility and muscle recovery.\u00a0 All this can be done on your Total Gym too!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Try Something New<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>One of the best ways to break through a fitness plateau is by stepping outside your routine. Whether it\u2019s exploring a new workout style, challenging yourself with a class, or trying different exercises, embracing variety can reignite your passion for fitness.<\/p>\n<p>Consider taking a class at a local gym or online, moving your workout outdoors, or experimenting with new exercises on your Total Gym. Variety keeps your body engaged and helps you keep progressing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ready, Set, Spring into Action<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spring cleaning isn\u2019t just for your home, it\u2019s the perfect opportunity to refresh your fitness routine. Use this time to re-evaluate, shake things up, and commit to new goals that leave you feeling stronger, energized, and ready to take on the season ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Your Total Gym offers the versatility, support, and challenge needed to transform your routine and elevate your fitness journey.\u00a0 So step into spring with purpose, excitement, and the strength to make it your best season yet!<\/p>\n<p>Best,<\/p>\n<p>Maria<\/p>\n<p><u>@GROOVYSWEAT<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s Connect on Social Media<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.totalgymdirect.com\/spring-clean-your-fitness-routine\">Spring Clean Your Fitness Routine<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.totalgymdirect.com\">Total Gym Pulse<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring Clean Your Fitness Routine: Refresh, Reset, and Recommit Maria Sollon, MS, CSCS, PES As the first signs of spring begin to show, it\u2019s the perfect time to hit the reset button on your fitness routine.
