3 Steps For Success While Starting An Exercise Routine

3 Steps For Success While Starting An Exercise Routine

Starting a fitness routine can be daunting. Where do you start? What kind of exercise should you do? Who should you talk to? How much time should you set aside? The truth is that any lifestyle change will be a learning experience and is different for every person. One of the biggest challenges when setting a goal is the commitment. However, there are many simple ways to help increase your success rate just by planning ahead. The following three suggestions will help you to make a new fitness routine a regular part of your life.

Pack your bag the night before

Preparation is key! Didn’t your parents always tell you to lay out your school clothes the night before so you wouldn’t have to think about it in the morning? That’s the idea. Prepare yourself ahead of time and the decision to workout will be that much easier. That could mean simply placing your running shoes by the front door, packing a gym bag with your towel and change of clothes, or it can even mean keeping a whole extra fitness wardrobe at work. There will always be meetings, traffic, and work to get in the way of your workout…don’t let something as simple as forgetting your sneakers keep you from your new routine.

Set Simple Goals

It’s ok to have big expectations, but not at the expense of your progress. Setting short and long term goals are equally important when starting a new fitness routine. Why are you doing this? To keep up with your kids on the playground? To treat hypertension? To lose weight? Those are fantastic long term goals, but starting a new fitness routine can be challenging, and the best way to stay motivated is to experience small successes. Be sure to set some goals that you can achieve sooner than later. For example, “I will exercise three times a week before work.” This goal is solely based on your effort, with no measurement, and can be realized every single week.

The Buddy System

Remember the buddy system from summer camp? Once again the lessons of our youth can help us successfully engage in a new exercise routine. When exercise is a fun social event, like hanging out with friends, it becomes more comfortable and easier to accomplish. Find a reliable friend to start your lifestyle change with you. Maybe someone who already has a great exercise habit. Or try out a local fitness class and make new friends.

Set yourself up for success by taking these three simple steps into account. Every effort counts and can help you make that lifestyle change with success.

Benefits of MostFit SYN Rings Stability Weight Training for Strength, Alignment and Wellness

MostFit SYN Rings Stability weight training equipment

How Does Stability Weight Training with the MostFit SYN Rings Differ Compared to Classic Weight Training?

Stability weight training with the MostFit™ SYN Rings creates a far more unstable environment, under demanding physical circumstances, than with classic weight training apparatus and movements. Although the intensity of that demand varies depending on the user and situation, the user will require a greater engagement of muscle fibers in the primary agonist muscles as well as the secondary, or stabilizing, muscles in order to maintain stabilization.

SYN Rings allow the user to suspend weight plates from an Olympic weightlifting bar creating instability, forcing the user to engage more core and stability muscles, and increase overall strength. They allow the weight plates to move in all directions, including forward, back, side-to-side, up-and-down, and in circular motions.

Stability weight training with the MostFit™ SYN Rings promotes core stabilization, explosive muscle engagement, and athletic development, helping people to improve their overall fitness!

Numerous peer reviewed and published research papers suggest that resistance training in an unstable environment can create optimal core strength, shoulder strength, leg strength and increase neuromuscular control among many other benefits.   

 

Studies Show How Instability Resistance Exercises Induce Increased Muscle Activation

Instability resistance exercises induce high muscle activation of postural limb and trunk muscles. The increased activation has been attributed to the increased stabilization functions. The increased stress associated with instability training has been postulated to promote greater neuromuscular adaptations such as decreased co-contractions of antagonists, improved co-ordination and confidence in performing a skill.

Core Stability Exercises May Help Prevent Back Problems 

Core stability may provide several benefits to the musculoskeletal system, from maintaining low back health to preventing knee ligament injury. As a result, the acquisition and maintenance of core stability is of great interest to physical therapists, athletic trainers, and musculoskeletal researchers. Core stability is the ability of the lumbopelvic hip complex to prevent buckling and to return to equilibrium after perturbation. Although static elements (bone and soft tissue) contribute to some degree, core stability is predominantly maintained by the dynamic function of muscular elements. There is a clear relationship between trunk muscle activity and lower extremity movement. Current evidence suggests that decreased core stability may predispose to injury and that appropriate training may reduce injury. Core stability can be tested using isometric, isokinetic, and isoinertial methods. Appropriate intervention may result in decreased rates of back and lower extremity injury.

Suspension Training With MostFit™ vs TRX Suspension Strap

MostFit vs TRX Strap

Suspension Training With MostFit™ vs TRX Suspension Strap

Stability training and functional training are buzz words in the fitness industry but what do they mean and how do I know which suspension strap is best for me?

MostFit™ Suspension Strap vs TRX Straps

Greatist breaks down the pros and cons of suspension training with MostFit™ vs TRX Suspension Strap. One of the biggest differences between the two portable fitness straps is price. You can buy 6 MostFit™ Suspension Straps for the price of one TRX Strap. 

The MostFit™ Suspension Strap offers a “grab-and-go exercise” at little cost. It's a safe, affordable and most importantly, portable way to get your workout on – at home, at the office, or on the road. Body weight training with the MostFit™ Suspension Strap will strengthen all of your major muscles, while improving balance and core strength, helping you to achieve overall health. Its simple yet effective design makes it easy to use...anytime, anywhere.

Stability Training

According to this article published by Harvard, stability training involves exercises linking the upper and lower body to increase stability throughout your core to enhance balance, increase strength, and assist in daily functions.

Functional Training 

Much like stability training, functional training is designed to build a solid foundation, using multi-planar movements to engage the entire body. These movements also enhance our daily life functions, improve posture, and incorporate a sense of fun so there is an element of physical and mental challenge. 

MostFit™ provides portable fitness products, suspension training straps and resistance training equipment.
