3 Hacks To Up Your Fitness

Say goodbye to lacklustre workouts forever.

Don’t get lost in a mediocre workout, says trainer and Barry’s Bootcamp Senior Instructor Alicia Beveridge. Here’s her three tips for maxing your next session.

1. Create a kickin’ playlist
“Listening to your favourite beats can improve the quality of your workout, and ideally relieve any possibility of boredom. Your mood will be better, you’ll be engaging with exercise in a positive headspace and your stamina will increase. Listen to songs that make you feel powerful, strong and like you can do anything; ones that pump you to work harder and exercise longer.”

2. Work out with buddies
“Exercising with a friend is a great way to push yourself a little harder. Plus, we are naturally competitive when we are with others so don’t be afraid to workout with someone who is more experienced or fitter than you. It’ll help you reach a little further, run a little faster and push your boundaries a little further.”

3. Dress to WIN
“The right training outfit can help you have more self-confidence and give you extra motivation to workout harder. The better you feel in your clothes, the more positive you’ll feel about exercise. Apart from how you look, it’s important to make sure you wear active wear that supports you when you exercise; providing comfort, reducing any injuries or discomfort, and ensuring optimum performance. Reward yourself when you reach fitness and/or health goals with new active wear to keep the momentum going!”
