Welcome to day 1 of Centr Unleashed! You’re fired up, you’re ready to go, but first – you just need a little help setting up a good fitness routine.
We hear you! While we’d all love to be on top of our fitness every second of every day, it’s totally natural to have a lapse in motivation from time to time. Getting back into the habit of working out can be the hardest part, but here’s the good news: you’ve already taken the first step!
A dedicated 6-week workout program like Centr Unleashed is perfect for getting you focused and holding you accountable. Plus, with HILIT (low-impact) modifications, it makes bodyweight training accessible to everyone, no matter your level of fitness.
Here’s how you can set yourself up for success and smash through the full six weeks of Centr Unleashed.
Step 1: Find your ‘why’
Why are you working out? What is it that you actually want to achieve? Establishing your ‘why’ is the key to dragging you out of bed and onto the workout mat (or your living room rug!), so make sure it really resonates with you.
Even if you’re not a selfie person, take some pics of your body at the beginning of this journey. Results are the best motivator there is and while you may not see it in the mirror, the pictures will capture your progress. You could also go for a run before you start the program, so you can compare your cardio fitness at the halfway point of Unleashed and again after six weeks.
If you stick to the Unleashed program and fuel your body with the right foods, those results will come rolling in.
Step 2: Analyze your time
Look at your calendar for the week and find workout slots that are going to work for you. Centr Unleashed workouts run for about 30 minutes with your warm-up and cool-down (and a bit longer for Advanced), so you don’t need long. Once you’ve identified times in your calendar that will work, block them out – make a commitment to yourself that this is workout time, and you won’t let anything else distract you.
If you do miss a workout, don’t beat yourself up! We’re all human and life can get busy. Just make sure you get back on the horse the following day.
Step 3: Create a positive space
Like setting up a space for working from home, or preparing your kitchen for a baking spree, you want your Unleashed workout space to be clear of clutter, with your mat ready to unfurl, a place to stash your water bottle and a towel ready to go (yes, there will be sweat!) – setting yourself up for training success. Your workout space could be one you can clear out in mere seconds, or a dedicated spot in the garage, your backyard or your spot in the local park. Whatever you do, make that space fun and enjoyable to visit, and you’ll be pumped and ready to unleash.
Step 4: Now go and do it!
Like anything new, getting started is always the hardest part. But once you start to move, your body will thank you for it. Our bodies naturally want to be active, so once you stick with it for 5 minutes, you’ll want to go all the way. Plus that buzz you get post-workout will keep you coming back for more.
You ARE ready to unleash your full potential! Enjoy Day 1.
