Some tips to go to your sports club more often

It is not a secret: if you exercise on a regular basis and follow a safe training that suits your body condition, you should feel energised and prevent some health issues such as insomnia, anxiety and cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, it can be hard to stick to your routine when you want to see your friends and family, have time for your hobbies and work or study at the same time. Here are some tips to keep your motivation in the long run:

  • Plan your workouts! Choose a day of the week that you will dedicate to your gym sessions. It will set sports as a priority in your schedule. This way, you won't forget your workout clothes at home or plan a reunion or a date on that day.
  • Follow clear goals and be progressive in your routine! Trying to do hundred crunches, running 3 miles, lifting 45 lbs... Going step by step to reach the level you want to achieve will keep you motivated in on the long term. Of course, set realistic goals. If not, you won't see the results and feel easily discouraged.
  • Stay active on a regular basis! You don't have to do a one-hour session every day to see the results. Walk up the stairs, bike to work, walk to the grocery store when you only need a few items, try not to sit still more than one hour and so on.
  • Find a club nearby! If you don't want to lose all your motivation, it may be a good idea to find a gym on your way home, whether it is near your workplace or the place where you live, so that you don't feel like going to your club is already an effort.
  • Do not compare with other people: going to the gym can be hard for our self-esteem. But you have to remember that other people may be working out for a long time and that they may have struggled a lot to reach that level. Moreover, everyone has a different metabolism, which can play a big role in what you can do and how you look.
  • Go with a friend: if you fear to lose your motivation or you are intimidated to go alone, find a friend or a sports partner with whom you can go. Nevertheless, be careful to find someone who is really keen to have a routine and won't give up easily.

Extra Information

To boost your physical and mental well-being, you should consider frequent physical activity. You'll enjoy a number of benefits on your mood and memory, and it should even help you sleep and concentrate better. If exercising outside doesn't motivate you in view of the sometimes fickle weather, a sport club can be a great alternative!

You will find here a selection of some of the best sports clubs in Brussels. All of them offer customised fitness programs and all the high-end equipment you need to give the best out of you as well as a huge number of facilities (of course, shower and dressing rooms, but also pool, sauna, hot tubs...). Some of these fitness centres even have their own wellness department with different kinds of treatments: peeling, massage, beauty cares, and so on.

The main interest of a subscription in one of those sports clubs is to participate in group classes (whether it is body-sculpting or dancing lessons) and get the assistance of a coach when you are using sports machines in the fitness area. You may even ask them if they can design a special program if you want to achieve some goals: intensity of the workouts, time to train, duration of each session, and so on.

The difference between cardio and bodybuilding

Cardio exercises are excellent for weight loss, improving endurance, or building muscle and should be included in your weekly routine. They encompass a variety of activities suitable for all fitness levels, such as cycling, running, walking, swimming, dancing, or CrossFit. It's important to progress gradually to avoid overexertion. Even if your goal is to build muscle, incorporating cardio—like quick reps on machines or a morning run—can help you shed fat more effectively.

What kind of exercise should you add to your routine?

You wouldn't eat the same thing everyday, would you? Then, why would you do the same exact series of exercise every time you go to the gym? As often, variety is the key to a good lifestyle. There are four main group of activities that you should include into your workout routine.

  • Strength helps you to carry and wear heavy things, for example: you can improve your strength with lifting weights exercises, using material such as resistance bands or by swimming, but also with body weight workout such as Pilates;
  • Endurance is good for your heart, your lungs and your circulation: the physical activities targetting endurance are running, biking, tennis, football, but also dancing and swimming
  • Balance prevent risks of falling: many activities contributes to a better balance, for example Pilates, yoga, workouts with gymballs... The important is to have a strong core and lower body.
  • Finally, flexibility prevent simple muscle and joints injuries: there is a whole variety of stretches to improve the mobility of your back and shoulders, hips, thighs and even ankles.
