Staying on top of your workout and fitness routine can be one of the most daunting parts about getting fit. Unfortunately, it is common for people to attend a few classes at a fitness, boxing, or kickboxing gym before suddenly losing motivation and giving up on their goals. However, with these tips, you can ensure that you are able to stay motivated and focused on your fitness and workout goals.
1. Create a routine
The best way to be consistent and successful at the gym is to make it a part of your routine. For most people, it is easy to skip days because working out is not a regular part of their day. Unlike college or work, most people do not have set times and days that they go to the gym. Here at One More Round in Toronto, it can be much easier to incorporate a regular work out into your daily life. Being in a class environment can be very encouraging for most people, as the set days and times can be just the right push to help you go to your next cardio kickboxing class even on those days where you might be thinking of skipping a workout.
2. Set a goal
Having set goals is very important for anyone trying to get fit. A goal will help you push you to not miss your workout, even on days when your motivation may be low. A feeling of getting closer to your targets can often be what motivates you to keep going to a fitness class. These targets can be as simple as a weight goal. However, if your weight is not something you’re concerned about, you can set goals like increasing stamina, building muscle and learning a new skill. At One More Round you can do this by taking one of our many classes, such as Boxing, Kickboxing and Fitness Classes. You can set personal goals with our trainers that work for you, and can focus on the skills you want to learn.
3. Go with friends
Creating a community around your hobbies and interests is always a good way to keep you engaged. It allows you to seek advice easily, have your accomplishments genuinely appreciated, and bond over a common interest. It is easy to make friends at One More Round, not only because of the friendly environment, but also because of interactive nature of our boxing and kickboxing classes. Whether you’re coming with your friends, or meeting people at our classes, it can help you feel more comfortable and you and your peers can help keep each other motivated!
4. Make it something you enjoy
Working out shouldn’t feel like a chore! We always recommend finding an activity you love and find fun and engaging. Not only is a kickboxing or boxing class a great workout, it is also a very engaging activity, a practical self defense and fantastic stress release. When working out is something you look forward to every day, it will be easy to maintain your routine and stay regular with your fitness goals!
5. Find a Gym with Motivating and Enthusiastic instructors:
There is no better way to stay consistent and motivated in your fitness, boxing and kickboxing routine than having instructors and leaders who motivate and inspire you daily. At 1MR One More Round in Toronto our instructors do so much more than just “train” students. Our instructors inspire, motivate and truly care about the progress, goals and experience of every student.
6. Find a Gym Conveniently Located:
Let’s be honest, no one enjoys a long commute to get to their fitness class, especially before or after a long day of work. Ensuring that your gym is conveniently located and easy to get to from work or home, will help you stay consistent. The new 1MR One More Round location is conveniently located at Queen and Dufferin to help serve the area offering a boxing and kickboxing gym in Toronto.
