]]>This is a great choice as the exercises you can do with dumbbells are super varied and also very effective. You can opt for adjustable ones to save on space or go for a bigger set which is always ready to go.
These are perfect to have at home, as they take up barely any space and are easy to store, but you can do such a wide range of exercises with them. They can be attached to furniture to replicate bigger gym equipment or just used with your body for some gentle but effective stretches.
This simple invention can be used for some seriously effective exercises. If space is an issue then they can be deflated and inflated again when needed, or they can simply be stored on top of a wardrobe so it’s ready to be used whenever.

]]>You might think that because you’re so new to the world of fitness, other people wouldn’t want to work with you. But this is so far from the case, because fitness pros probably love it with every fiber of their being and probably get a huge kick out of helping others in need. Since you’re new to it, you may be doing something wrong, and your more experienced friend could probably steer you in the right direction. It would be a shame to not get good advice because you’re being too prideful.
In addition to avoiding the big no-nos, good feedback may inspire you to try something else out. The beauty of having a mentor in your back corner is that you’re constantly learning about new methods you hadn’t considered yet, but you’re also getting influenced by their passion. This kind of influence can’t be downplayed.

]]>The first thing you should keep in mind before giving celebrity workouts a shot is that you and your favorite celebrity aren’t working out with the same goal in mind. You’re not trying to get fit for an action movie or a world tour, so there’s no need to put too much pressure on yourself by making your routine too intense.
Equipment-free workouts are pretty popular with people working out at home, but the same can’t be said about celebrities. You’ll most likely have to find a gym that has all the machines involved in your go-to celebrity workout, and you should even consider working with a personal trainer to learn the ropes.
Copying every step of a celebrity workout usually isn’t the best idea. Different exercises work for different people, and you should focus on the parts of a celebrity routine that you enjoy the most, in addition to having the potential of leading to the best results.

]]>Outdoor and equipment-free workouts are much more eco-friendly than using gym machines that require a lot of electricity. Going on a run, hike, or bike ride is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.
You can also put an effort into making your commute more eco-friendly. Walking or biking to work can double down as a workout and allow you to stay more active while also keeping your carbon emissions on the down low.
Many activewear brands are trying to put a sustainable twist on their workout clothes, so do your research and find brands that make workout clothes and shoes from recycled materials.
It’s very important to stay hydrated during your workouts, but that doesn’t mean you should buy a new bottle of water each time. Ditch bottled water by buying reusable stainless steel or glass water bottle that you can refill every time.

]]>You may well be considering dumbbells because you’ve used them at a gym and are interested. If you haven’t tried them, consider having a go at your local gym to get a sense of whether they’re something you’ll enjoy working out with.
It can be annoying trying to store items such as dumbbells and there’s also the space required to actually use them to factor in. Ideally, you want somewhere that you won’t feel in the way or feel like you’ll be frequently disturbed.
Many people find gyms great not only for the equipment but also for the general atmosphere which can help get you in the workout mindset. Consider whether you’ll have the motivation to use them in your own home space.

]]>The post Why Two Weeks is the Perfect Workout Trial Length appeared first on simbaly.
]]>First off, two weeks is just enough time where if you’ve done everything correctly, you should start seeing proper results. Granted, they won’t be so obvious, but they should be enough that you can then decide if your hard work is worth it. Two weeks is also the amount of time where the workout itself starts to get easier.
But there’s yet another reason why two weeks is the magic duration of time. It’s long enough to see results, but it’s also short enough that you won’t get burned out before you even reach the end of your workout cycle. This means that you’ll create a perfect sample size to check on yourself, and actually go through with it! Anyone who’s ever given up on a workout knows how valuable this is—so make sure you give your routine at least two weeks before deciding if it’s right for you!

]]>This series is meant for everyone, whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just starting out. With modifications and enhancements, Yoga with Adriene invites you to embark on a transformative, healing, and strength-building adventure.
One of the best things about Adriene’s yoga challenges is that they’re not a solo experience, even though you practice them from the comfort of your home. The lessons are streamed live on her YouTube channel, and you can tap into them in real time if you’re in a relevant time zone (or are just a fan of waking up at 4 AM for a yoga session). If the live stream thing doesn’t work for you, no problem! The videos stay there so that you can watch them at any other time of the day.
Other than free-of-charge, soul-cleansing Yoga practices, FLOW also offers another tiny treat once you sign up: a free, downloadable calendar by Adriene with video length times, ensuring you stay on track throughout your 30-day adventure.
So, if you’re up for it, the challenge has already started on Jan 1st, but it’s still not too late to join, roll out your mat, and enjoy the yoga bliss of 2024.

]]>Don’t force yourself to do a workout you don’t enjoy on your bad mental health days. The best way to improve your mood is to do something that you actually enjoy, whether it’s running or swimming or simply hiking or dancing around your house.
There’s no need to put pressure on yourself to do a full workout when you’re feeling low. If you can summon the strength to work out for five or ten minutes from the comfort of your home, it’s still better than nothing. Find a workout on YouTube that suits you and make sure it’s not too intense.
Your priority during bad mental health days shouldn’t be to do an intense workout but to simply get out and move your body. Getting outside and being surrounded by nature can be good for your emotional well-being because it’s a great way to relax and distress, so do your best to get out of your bed and go for a short walk.
