As the days grow longer, the weather warms up, and nature starts to bloom, it’s the perfect time to shed the winter blues and spring into a new fitness routine. After months of cold weather and indoor hibernation, it’s common to feel a bit rusty when it comes to exercise. But fear not, because spring offers a fresh start and plenty of opportunities to get back on track with your fitness goals. Here are 10 tips to help you have a successful workout routine this spring.
- 1. Set Clear Goals: Begin by defining your fitness goals for the season. Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, or improve your overall health, having clear objectives will keep you motivated. Our personal trainers provide free workout programs every 6 weeks to help you meet your goals. They are available to you on site daily to discuss your fitness journey and to assist.
2. Gradual Progress: Don’t rush into intense workouts right away. Start with moderate exercises and gradually increase the intensity to avoid overexertion and injury.
3. Embrace Outdoor Workouts: Take advantage of the beautiful weather by incorporating outdoor workouts. Our lifestyle centres offer a great mixture of indoor and outdoor group fitness classes. See our full timetables here: https://www.justlifestyle.com.au/timetables/
4. Proper Warm-Up: Always warm up before exercising to prevent injuries. Include dynamic stretches to prepare your muscles for the workout ahead.
5. Stay Hydrated: As temperatures rise, staying hydrated becomes crucial. Bring a reusable water bottle with you to the gym or on outdoor excursions to ensure you’re drinking enough water.
6. Adjust Your Diet: Spring brings a bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Opt for seasonal produce to fuel your workouts with nutritious, colourful meals.
7. Variety is Key: Prevent workout boredom by incorporating a variety of exercises. Try different classes, sports, or activities to keep things interesting. We offer something for everyone, with over 90 land and aqua based classes taking place daily, over 9 facilities.

9. Accountability Partner: Partner up with a friend or join a fitness group to stay motivated. Having someone to share your fitness journey with can make a world of difference.
10. Track Your Progress: Keep a fitness journal or use smartphone apps to track your workouts, nutrition, and progress. Celebrate your achievements and use setbacks as learning opportunities. Or alternatively, speak with one of our friendly personal trainers who can keep you accountable and help track progress.
