Find Your Workout Motivation with WANAYOU
We’ve all been there: It’s Sunday night and you’re gearing up for the week ahead with big plans to exercise. Maybe you tell yourself you’ll do a sunrise indoor cycling session or a post-work yoga class the next day. But then the time comes and… you’re just not feeling it. Maybe you hit snooze, work a little later, or simply blow it off for some much-deserved couch time. But many times, our reasons for not exercising—like feeling too tired or too busy—are all flavors of the same thing: not knowing how to motivate yourself to work out.
So, when you are in a rut, these are some tried-and-true tips that help me stay motivated and on track!
Just Go For A Walk
One of the all-time popular ways to get moving again is simply going for a walk. I know, it might not seem like much, but it works wonders.Researchers have found that walking recharges our creativity, increases the volume of the hippocampus (the part of the brain responsible for short-term memory), and improves spatial performance.This fall, putting on a Wanayou Dry Fit Long Sleeve and strolling through forest trails is the perfect way to enjoy these benefits.
Find 3-3-3 Flow
If you've ever skipped the gym because your workout plan felt too long and too complicated...Then try the 3-3-3 rule.In plain terms, it means:3 workouts per week/30 minutes each session/For 3 months straight.
That’s it.No 2-hour gym marathons. No complex split schedules. Just a clear, measurable rhythm that makes progress achievable — especially for beginners or anyone returning after a break.
Three workouts per week strike the right balance between stimulus and recovery. You challenge your body enough to grow but give it time to rebuild muscle and energy stores.With the Wanayou High Support Zip-Front Bra, you stay supported and comfortable, letting you focus on the burn instead of fidgeting with your gear.
And 30 minutes is the golden window. Studies show that the body starts producing the same performance benefits after 25–30 minutes of moderate to high-intensity training as it does after 60. Beyond that, fatigue and cortisol often spike, reducing returns.
Still overwhelmed? Only 5 exercises you’ll ever need
You don’t need a never-ending list of exercises to get working out.Here are the movements that give you return on investment, the lifts that challenge your whole body, build muscle, boost athleticism, and carry over to almost everything you do.
1.Squat
The most important this to remember about the squat is form. If your form isn’t right, it’s likely you won’t be targeting all the right muscle groups. You’ll be putting in the effort but not getting the right reward. Focus on engaging the muscles in the bum and legs on the way up and the way down. Make sure your knees aren’t taking the load and think about driving up from the heels instead.
Recommended Sets and Reps: Stick to 4 to 5 sets of 3 to 6 reps for strength. Rest for 90 to 120 seconds between sets.
2.The burpee
We know everyone hates a burpee, but there are huge benefits to them which make them worth doing.The multiple movements involved in a burpee mean that many different muscle groups are being engaged. The explosiveness of them means you’re working in the anaerobic zone and developing your cardiovascular fitness at the same time.
3.Deadlifts
The deadlift is pure strength. It’s about generating force from the ground up and building posterior chain power—hamstrings, glutes, back, traps, and core. It’s a compound, for exercises this intense, a High-Impact Sports Bra provides the stability and support you need to perform safely and confidently.
4.Presses
Pressing builds upper-body pushing strength and develops your chest, shoulders, and triceps. Whether it’s overhead or horizontal, pressing challenges your stability and coordination, too. It’s a compound movement, and like rows, it can be trained bilaterally or unilaterally, depending on the tool and setup.
5.The push-up
The push-up is an incredibly effective upper body compound exercise. It may be known for working the muscles in the chest, but it really does much more than that.
The push-up is also an effective way to engage the deltoids, triceps, and biceps. Importantly, it also engages the core all the way from the abdominals in the stomach right round to the erector spinae in the back. That means the push-up can deliver an intense upper body workout with just the one exercise.
People get too fixated on this concept of motivation when it comes to routines. The simple answer is you cannot rely on motivation, as that will ebb and flow.You simply need to be disciplined.You decide which days and times you are going to exercise and then you have the discipline to stick to that schedule. There are no tricks or secrets.
