We tend to be creatures of habit, but after a while, our routine can begin to feel mundane. Moreover, your progress can stagnate. That’s why it is good to shake things up a bit, and what better time than SPRING?
Spring is the perfect time to start a fitness challenge or set new fitness goals! Not only will you feel better but also be more energized to take advantage of all this season has to offer. This spring, our motto is:
Out with the old and in with the new!
Here are some of our favorite ways to spring-clean our workout routine:
Revamp your workout space
Last year has been tough on all of us and it made us appreciate our homes even more. Faced with limited space due to work, having our youngest family members learning from home, home gyms… our designated areas tend to overlap.
While you deep clean the house you might want to rearrange things, move furniture around, and once again divide the areas in your home for specific purposes!
When it comes to the home gym, the best advice we can give you is: Place it somewhere you can’t avoid it!
For example, if you have a stationary bike (stop using it as a coat rack!) get it as far away from your bed as possible! Trust us on this one… We all tried working from bed and know how unproductive that can get. The same applies for working out. You need a space that motivates you to be productive!
Move things around and see what works best for you!

Reset your training
Whether you`ve been an avid fitness enthusiast or leaned towards the couch potato mindset – stop and reassess.
Ask yourself these questions:
- What have you accomplished?
- What is your goal?
- How often do you want to work out?
- Are the exercises you`ve been doing still working for you?
- What can you do to improve?
Accomplishments and goals
Be in it for the long run – fitness should be a part of your life for decades to come!
Be consistent – set a workout routine and stick to it!
Monitor your health – nothing is worth it if you are not keeping track of your health and improving your immune system!
Don`t rush – it’s not a race! You are the only one participating in this fitness journey so make sure to enjoy it!
Focus on building habits, not results – it’s easy to get carried away and caught up in the results, but it’s the habits that lead to achievements!
Workout Schedule
Once again, aim to be consistent but realistic! This means assessing your fitness level and then slowly and gradually building up!
Don’t shy away from putting everything on paper. Take into account how much free time you have, how fixed your obligations are and add workouts to your busy schedule! Are you an early bird or a night owl?
If you feel energized after a session, why not start off your day with a workout? This way you`ll be ready to take on anything the day has to offer!
On the other hand, if exercising helps you rewind and relieves you of stress – do it in the afternoon or in the evening. No need to be a morning workout aficionado to get the best out of exercising!
Finally, when you figure out WHEN to exercise, you only need worry about the FREQUENCY.
Your workout schedule should cater to your needs, obligations and goals. Someone preparing for a marathon can`t go by with 2-3 workouts per week. On the other hand, a person who enjoys working out to keep in form and be active doesn`t have to go overboard.
To help you plan and organize your workouts according to your specific needs, we make personalized training plans. Do our quiz to get your personalized workout plan!
Tip: Once you get your personalized workout plan, print it out and put it somewhere visible, as a daily reminder!
Spice up your workouts
Getting creative will keep your workout out of the humdrum zone!
A good thing about HOLOFIT is its versatility. You can choose between:
- 12 (and counting) HOLOWORLDS
- 5 (soon to be 6) Workout Modes: Explore, Online Multiplayer, Race, Cardio Goals, Time Attack
- Entraînement cardio assisté: HIIT, Réduction de graisse, Cardio, Intervalle
- Rower, elliptical, bike or Freestyle with controllers
Try new environments, modes and training styles until you find the ones that suit you best!
While spring cleaning your workout routine, you can try out entirely new things, but no need to get rid of the old ones! Instead, give a few new intervals a try. Switch between rowing, running or cycling, or simply choose a new mode on your machine – push yourself in the Time Attack or join Online Multiplayer to compete with other members!
Want to warm up before you jump on the elliptical? Why not give Freestyle rowing a go? Put those abs to work!
Rise and shine – get motivated!
We can’t stress this enough: The true key to motivation is having fun!
The problem both complete rookies and professional athletes experience is the loss of motivation!
That’s why we’ve decided to implement “gamification” into HOLOFIT to ensure our users never lose motivation.
Spring playlist
What better way to get yourself into the right mindset, than with music?!
Spring brings lots of changes, among them renewed motivation and enthusiasm! Take advantage of this inspired mood and magnify it with some positive tunes! Create a playlist of songs that motivate you, inspire you, or just make you feel happy.
We`ve also added new music to our HOLOFIT playlist to keep you going! As a matter of fact, check out everything that we’ve added in the last update to spice your routine up!
Set up milestones
Instead of focusing on the big end-goal, challenge yourself daily with small milestones! You can add them to your workout plan for more convenience!
Today you might want to collect a specific trophy you missed and tomorrow try getting through Troglodyte in one piece!
Just make sure to listen to your body to not go overboard, but at the same time challenge yourself, it’s the only way to make progress!
