Consistency over Intensity
Resolution: Commit to regular, shorter workouts rather than sporadic intense sessions.
Why: Consistency is the key to success. Setting aside 20-30 minutes a few times a week for a Barre Series Edit session can yield better results than occasional longer workouts. Additionally, 30 mins can easily be found within your busy schedule and is adequate time to work up a sweat!
Mindful Movement
Resolution: Prioritise mindful movement and be present during your workouts.
Why: Mindful exercise not only enhances the mind-body connection but also reduces stress. Practice mindfulness during your Barre sessions, focusing on each movement and your breath for a more rewarding experience. The more present you find yourself within your wellness journey, the more guaranteed enjoyment, fulfilment and motivation to show up you will experience.
Hydration Habits
Resolution: Drink more water throughout the day.
Why: Hydration is crucial for overall well-being and aids in muscle recovery. Set a daily water intake goal and track your progress. Consider adding herbal teas or infused water to make hydration enjoyable.
Balanced Nutrition
Resolution: Focus on balanced and sustainable nutrition.
Why: Instead of restrictive diets, aim for a well-rounded, nourishing diet. Incorporate whole foods, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables into your meals to support your fitness goals.
Rest and Recovery
Resolution: Prioritise quality sleep and active recovery days.
Why: Adequate rest is essential for muscle repair and overall health. Set a consistent sleep schedule and embrace rest days as an integral part of your fitness routine.
Set Attainable Goals
Resolution: Define specific, achievable fitness milestones.
Why: Break down your larger fitness goals into smaller, manageable steps. Celebrate each milestone, whether it’s holding a challenging Barre pose or completing a set with improved form.
Community Connection
Resolution: Engage with the Barre Series Edit community.
Why: Building a support system can keep you motivated. Participate in our online community page within your online account and share your progress with the community. Connecting with like-minded individuals can turn your fitness journey into a shared experience.
Incorporate Self-Care
Resolution: Prioritise self-care practices beyond exercise.
Why: Wellness extends beyond physical fitness. Incorporate activities like meditation, journaling, or a relaxing bath into your routine to promote mental and emotional well-being.
As we step into the New Year, let’s shift our mindset from drastic resolutions to sustainable lifestyle changes. The Barre Series community is here to support you on your wellness journey. Embrace these realistic resolutions, stay committed, and celebrate the progress you make each day. Here’s to a healthy and fulfilling New Year filled with achievable fitness goals!
