If you hibernated over the winter here are some Spring fitness tips to help you get started!
Start Slowly
Our best advice is to start slowly to avoid injury. The idea is to “Spring” into fitness; not SLAM into fitness. Begin with three days of cardio exercise and two days of strength exercise.
Cardio recommendations
Start with walking or another low-impact exercise.
You can do this outdoors if the weather permits or use indoor cardio equipment either at your home or our studio. Warm-up your ankles such as tapping your toes, heel raises, and ankle circles.
Week 1 | 20 minutes on three days of the week |
Week 2 | 20 minutes on four days of the week OR 30 minutes on three days. |
Week 3 | 20 minutes on five days of the week or 30 minutes on four days. |
Week 4 | 30 minutes on five days. |
Once you have built up to five days per week, stick with it. The American Heart Association recommends that adults get 150 minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical activity each week.

30 minutes is only 2% of 24 hours!
