]]>In order to keep things interesting and remain motivated, Longoria likes to mix up her workout routine. “I do a lot. I’m a runner, I do yoga, I do pilates, I do SoulCycle and I’m just constantly mixing it up,” the actress revealed.
When it comes to building up energy to face the day, getting enough sleep is essential. Longoria explained: “I’m a runner, so I usually get up at seven — it depends because I always get eight hours of sleep.”
Longoria explained that meditation and praying multiple times per week help to keep her calm and reflect on important things in her life. “Meditating is hard. It’s not hard to do, but it’s hard finding the time,” Longoria explained before adding, “I’m pretty spiritual and religious, so if you pray that’s also a form of meditation. It’s focusing your mind on a higher power.”

]]>Who says exercise has to be boring? Turn up the music and let loose on the dance floor. Whether it’s shaking your hips to salsa, grooving to hip-hop beats, or swaying to the rhythm of rock tunes, dancing is a fantastic way to burn calories, improve coordination, and boost your mood.
Embrace the great outdoors. Nature offers a plethora of opportunities for staying active effortlessly. Take a leisurely stroll in the park, go for a bike ride along scenic trails, or simply enjoy a peaceful yoga session in your backyard.
Unleash your inner child. Remember the joy of childhood games? Channel your inner kid and indulge in activities like trampolining, hula hooping, or playing a game of tag with friends. These playful exercises are not only enjoyable but also provide a full-body workout without feeling like work.

]]>Skipping rest days can put a lot of stress on your body and make it sustainable to injuries due to inflammation caused by overuse.
Constant high-intensity workouts can cause micro-tears in your muscle fibers and it’s important to take some time off to give these muscles enough time to recover and become stronger.
In addition to helping your muscles grow faster, rest days can have a positive impact on your general health. They’ll give your immune system enough time to recover, while also improving the quality of your sleep.
If you’re struggling with motivation because you feel overtrained, rest days will give you a chance to relax, recharge, and enjoy your workouts to the fullest after a short break.
Burnout is a very real problem that many passionate gymgoers face, but rest days can help you avoid it, thus aiding your long-term progress at the gym.

]]>Working out early is a great way to start your day off on the right foot. If you’re looking for a way to get a major mood boost and up your motivation, working out in the morning will get you there, because you’ll feel strong enough to take up any challenge after an epic workout.
The main reason why successful people tend to work out as early as 5 a.m. is their extremely busy schedule. This is the only time of the day when they can hit the gym because they have to focus on their work for the rest of the day, while still trying to make some time for their friends and family.
You know that feeling when you’re planning to work out in the evening, but your day gets so busy that you end up skipping the gym altogether. You don’t have to deal with this problem with morning workouts. No matter how busy your schedule gets, your workout will already be done and you won’t be tempted to give up.

]]>We should all aim to make our workouts as effective as possible and make the best of the time we have on our hands. If you don’t plan your workouts in advance, you’ll waste precious time at the gym trying to come up with things you want to do, and this is best avoided.
If you set fitness goals at the beginning of your fitness routine, you should actively strive towards reaching them. In order to do so, you’ll have to come up with a fitness routine that works for you and this will require some time, so it’s best done before you hit the gym.
One thing you should always strive towards when coming up with your fitness routine is the perfect balance between cardio and strength. You should also make sure to include exercises that target different muscle groups, and your workouts will be much better organized if you plan them in advance.

]]>If you’re not ready to get into intense workouts just yet, at least try to stay active by hitting a certain number of steps each day. 10,000 is a recommended number you should aim for every day, and it can be a great cardio workout for fitness beginners.
Staying active doesn’t equal working out every day and pushing yourself to the limits. If you’re still a newbie, hitting the gym two or three times a week is all it takes to kick off your fitness journey the right way. Increase that number once you’re ready and feel comfortable with it, but still, make sure to set aside some time for rest days.
If you want to stay healthy and fit, your diet plays an equally important role as your workouts. You might be tempted to make dramatic changes and commit to rigorous diets, but that’s not necessary. Start things small, by cutting down on deep-fried and sugar-high foods that aren’t doing you any good.

]]>Chances are you’re not training for an action movie or a world tour, so there’s no need to work out as intensely as your favorite celebs. Set fitness goals that make sense for you, and figure out which parts of the celebrity routine fit into that.
Before embracing a celebrity workout, keep in mind that they have access to some things you can’t afford, such as top trainers and nutritionists. Opt for a routine that fits your needs, and don’t pressure yourself to do everything the same way. There are some parts of their routine that you won’t enjoy so replace them with different exercises that suit you better.
Celebrities often have well-equipped home gyms that most people can’t afford. Instead of wasting a fortune in an attempt to copy them, simply join a local gym that already has all the machines that your fitness routine calls for.
