It’s that time of day when the to-do list is not all checked off and the workout has taken last place on the list… again. I confess, my trips to HomeGoods are more than my trips to the gym. However, my recent trip inspired me to enjoy fitness at home on the days I don’t get to the gym.
If one of your 2015 resolutions is to be more active, I wanted to share my 6 fitness tips to keep a healthy home.
1. Aim to exercise three to five days a week. This allows a few days for your body to recover. Add color to workout gear for a colorful and lively workout routine.
Keep a towel at arms reach for easy cleanup. I like the sunny yellow in the towel and stretch bands.
2. Aim for a full body workout, rather than focusing on one part of the body. Increase weights week by week as you gain strength. To keep things tidy, store weights and stretch bands in a storage ottoman like these great ones Cathy found at HomeGoods.
3. Remember to hydrate and stretch. Two of my favorite flavors to add to my water are lemons and mint leaves, especially when served out of a pitcher like this one from The DIY Playbook.
4. Track your goals and incorporate healthy snacks between meal times.
5. Plan your meals. Storage containers help keep food fresh and organized in the fridge.
6. Sleep is like nutrition for the brain. What helps me sleep better at night? A room with fresh flowers, cozy curtains and soft sheets make all the difference.
There you have it! A few of my happy workout finds at HomeGoods include pillows, sheets, curtains, glasses, storage ottoman, yoga mats, water bottles, granola, nuts, hand weights, resistance bands, core balls, towels and headbands.
I’m so happy I found these great exercise accessories to incorporate into my fitness routine. How do you get moving?
