LITTLE THINGS THAT'LL SPARK UP YOUR WORKOUT ROUTINE (AT HOME OR IN THE GYM)

For me, the key to stay committed and consistent to my workouts is VARIATION. As much as I love to delve myself into a specific workout program, there's always a point where I crave a twist! Here's some ideas on how to boost your motivation with small means;

ADD A MINI BAND

Rubber band workouts is one of my favorite things to do when I don't have inspiration. Perfect for lower body exercises! Check out Alva's peach bum routine here, perfect to do with a resistance band!

USE THE WALLS

'Wall pilates' is for sure a social media trend - so it's just a search away and then the algoritm will do it's magic ;) I see it everywhere in my feeds - and I sometimes add wall exercises as a warm-up to my gym sessions.

ADD A COMPLETELY NEW EXERCISE

Try a machine you've never tried before, or ask a friend or someone in the gym to challenge you!

HIP HOP FLOW

Do your regular flow of yoga, pilates or mat work - but try a new genre of music than usual. Here's my list of soft hip hop I love doing yoga to.

DANCE FREELY TO A SONG

After telling your body exactly what to do during a workout session, contrast with the other way around!

Just let go for a minute and let your body (not your brain!) lead! Put on your favorite song and just let your body move. Uptempo or slow - you choose.

WORK ON YOUR CHINS

I've started this little project last year, challenging myself to add as many chins as I can to my weekly gym sessions. Still working it out with the assistance of a rubber band - but I see progress and it's made me more into upper body exercises in general.

It's in the little things right?! <3
