One of the reasons why mankind has moved less over the last hundred years is the development of technology. Every year we lead less and less mobile lifestyles: we are outdoors less often, and sometimes we even do our work from the comfort of our homes. Cars are no longer a luxury, and we drive them to the office, and the bakery. All products or even ready meals can be brought directly to our homes, etc. And you don't need to earn a lot for all this: this is the average person's life.
Optimize your daily routine for health and fitness
A health and fitness regimen is essential. It is the base, because a regimen is about regularity, which gives the necessary progress.
Three important factors to consider when scheduling for sports:
1. Floating exercise times are not suitable for everyone.
We all have different biorhythms: some of us like to work out at first light, others in the middle of the day or in the evening. Find a time that you can devote to training, ideally you should have this time free every day. Working out regularly but at different times of the day is much harder than working out at the same time every day. However, if this is the only option for your workload, Voiset can help you: Voiset will work out an optimal floating schedule for you;
2. It is psychologically much more difficult to exercise once a week than six days.
The best way to shape your health and fitness regimen is to set it to the point that sports are now a permanent part of your life. You can vary the intensity of your workouts. For example, sometimes do something like unloading days, when the load is minimal and you just go for a walk in the park. A high frequency of workouts, adapted to your physical condition, helps you to stay on track;
3. Don't be too hard on yourself.
The first time you make a fitness schedule, you're very likely to decide that you'd like, for example, to work out for three hours at a time. Or dedicate the rest of the day after work to fitness. But any strong bias breeds psychological rejection. To avoid it, listen to yourself. Maybe Sunday will be your day of rest, and a 40-minute workout is enough for a beginner.
Setting and tracking fitness goals with digital tools
If we tell ourselves something like “I want to lose weight,” the brain sees it as a dream. A dream is something that may or may not happen. For the brain to start building a strict plan, you need to formulate your specific goal. If it is too big, you need to break it down into smaller steps.
Goal setting in fitness and sports should include both the ultimate goal and intermediate ones. For example, if your goal is to lose 48 pounds of weight in one year, that means you'll need to shed 4 pounds every month. This is a metric that you may well track regularly and reward yourself for achieving it.
Tracking fitness goals helps us focus and make it easier to resist all the distractions we have in our lives. When we reach a goal, our body rewards us with a powerful dopamine surge, which reinforces in us the positive reinforcement from the victory.
Today, there are many digital tools available to help you achieve your goals: smart watches, scales, etc. However, there is another essential app that you can achieve more with - Voiset! This AI-powered planner gives you the ability to organize every aspect of your life. And if sports are as important to you as work, you will take that into account and find time for fitness and sports in your schedule.
Add to Voiset any goals that are meaningful to you and that relate to your physical progress. For example, add a monthly goal to your schedule: to run 5 kilometers without getting out of breath. Or to see that number of pounds on the scale. Do 35 burpees in a row, etc. Think about your goals and add achieving and testing them to your schedule. And they will be some of the most enjoyable DONE's on your schedule!
Integrating wellness challenges into your schedule
One of the most difficult tasks is finding time for sports in your schedule. We've talked about how to create a schedule here (link to any article on scheduling), now let's focus on three simple steps to help you integrate sports into your schedule.
1. Try Voiset;
2. Determine the optimal time and frequency of your workouts;
3. Create relevant tasks in Voiset and prioritize them.
That's it. Next, Voiset will analyze your schedule and add new incoming tasks in addition to fitness and sports, not instead of them. AI focuses on the priority you set. Let's face it, we all need the occasional reminder that going for a run is just as important as tackling another work task.
Manage reminders for training and wellness activities
Until you develop a habit of exercising, getting reminders of a new activity on your schedule is a necessity. However, you'll need reminders to work out afterward. It's easy to get caught up in your workflow and not realize that the time you planned to spend on fitness has already arrived.
Voiset will not only help you plan each of your days but will also send you reminders of all the key events. You will be able to customize the mode of reminders: some people prefer to be notified 15 minutes in advance, others 30 minutes in advance, and so on.
With Voiset, you won't forget to prioritize your exercise!
Adjusting your wellness plan based on your information
Adjusting your wellness plan is one of the most important parts of all fitness progress. Our lives are made up of ups and downs, so the same plan may not work/work well at different times. For example, you may have caught a cold that caused you to not work out for almost two weeks and now you feel like you're lifting weights for the first time in the gym. It's unpleasant, isn't it? And then there are the messages that you have walked fewer steps than usual, etc. In such cases, digital assistants cease to be such and rather demotivate.
That's why it's important that your assistant and life planner can adapt to the unexpected. And Voiset can!
