Every year I have the goal to get fit, move my body more, and have some sort of consistency with working out. But then life gets in the way along with my endless excuses.
"It's all about finding the exercise that is right for you," I heard some fitness guru say on some mindfulness podcast and it has stuck with me. Maybe I've just not found the exercise I enjoy doing, but how do I find it?
Apparently having a personal trainer is the best way to go but since that's way out of my budget I'll have to find another way. The first place I looked was the app store; there's an app for everything right?
All the reviews led me to Aaptiv, a fitness app with audio and video fitness and wellness classes in sleep and mediation that can be done anywhere. Would an app really help me stick to my fitness goal?
Then I saw how many different types of classes they offered, from yoga and strength training to running and cycling and even the elliptical. I downloaded Aaptiv to give it a shot and see if I could find a workout I would maybe be able to stick to for more than a month. The first 7 days is a free trial so I had nothing to lose.
Here are 5 ways Aaptivhas surprised me;
The completely audio-based classes are great. Needing no equipment and not having to look at a screen while trying to do a set of burpees makes working out easier and way more fun.
Each workout is designed by expert trainers who guide me through every workout giving me techniques, tips, visual cues for any new moves, and encouragement, which keeps me super motivated throughout the whole workout.
Best way to get through a workout faster is with your favorite tunes blaring and Aaptiv has the best playlists for each workout to keep you giving it your all
Workouts for all levels and programs tailored to your fitness goals with multi-week plans for weight loss, race training, flexibility, maternity, and more
It's affordable at only $14.99 for a monthly membership, but I opted for the annual membership which is 70% off for a limited time at just $29.99, less than $2.50 per month.
Maybe this year I will finally smash my fitness goal now that I have Aaptivand 1,000's of workouts that I love and can do anywhere with my favorite artists like Dua Lipa. And with new workouts added each week I can never get bored.
