How To Schedule Your Workouts?

I feel bored if I keep doing same workouts everyday. I love to mix and match to keep myself excited and motivated to get on my mat & workout. Also, I love working out at home because internet has made it so easier for us to select any trainer that we love and do their workouts. If you are just like me or have just started working out at home and don't know what to do, you can do what I do which is schedule your workout according to goals set.

1) Set goals - First thing you need to do is set goals. Example- Flexibilty, loose stomach fat, thigh fat, gain muscles,strength etc. Your workouts will depend completely on your goals. My goal is reducing fat on my arms & thighs, maintaining flexibility & abs everyday. (There can be multiple goals as per your choice)

2) Look for Fitness Influencers- Once goals are set, next thing to do is search for fitness influencers on Instagram or on YouTube and see who's workouts seem interesting to you and you want to do it everyday. I follow @zoehappyfit & @danalandgren for most of my workouts on Instagram and Martina Sergi & Martina Rando on YouTube for their yoga sequences. Who does not want to be trained from their favorite fitness trainers?

3) Time to schedule your workouts- According to my goal I have fixed days for specific parts like;

Monday-butt & thighs,

Tuesday-Arms & back,

Wednesday- Yoga,

Thursday- butt& thighs,

Friday- Full body workout.

Saturday & Sunday is a break for me...I do very light stretches and relaxing poses on Saturday sometimes. Abs & Stretching form the last bit of my workout everyday for 20 to 30 minutes. I have included butt & thighs twice a week because that's my major goal.

4) Choose your workouts- Once you have scheduled as per point (3) you are now free to choose your workouts. Save or download the workouts you wish to do. The influencers must be such that they post workouts frequently and their workouts must suit your goals. Choose different workouts everyday and every week and enjoy your journey to be fit!

5) Last but not the least- "Listen to your body!" If you want to workout only thrice a week then schedule accordingly. If you need rest then rest...don't push yourself too much. It would be more effective if you have fixed time in your day to workout. Example- I do it after my office from 7pm to 8pm everyday.

Hope this helps you to schedule your workouts and reach your goals.
