Top 5 Ways to Get Fit and Feel Happy this International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day marks the day for celebrating the achievements of women worldwide. March 8th is a special day to recognize the incredible things that women around the globe are doing. For those fighting for women’s rights, for those helping to make the world a better place, for those raising the next generation of inspiring women and for those doing their best, we want to personally celebrate you.  

At Gymondo, we encourage women to own their success by getting fit and feeling happy. There’s no better way to show our appreciation and our commitment to helping you lead a fit and happy life than by providing you with the tools you need to succeed on your fitness journey. Here are the top five ways to get fit and feel happy this International Women’s Day and beyond. 

#1 Start a Fitness Challenge

Have you been looking for a way to gain more confidence? Fitness challenges might be the answer you’ve been looking for. They’re the perfect way to gain confidence while conquering new challenges. At Gymondo, we provide our users with fitness challenges throughout the year. But even when our challenges are well underway or if our next one hasn’t yet begun, just start scouring the internet. You’ll definitely find one that’s right for you! 

#2 Eat Healthier 

Women everywhere struggle to shed those extra pounds. New Year’s resolutions and trending fad diets can easily get lost in the shuffle. But the simple switch to eating healthy is a proven way to gain control over how you fuel your engine.

Simple adjustments, like switching from soda to sparkling water or meal prepping for the entire week can help you turn your health and fitness goals into a life-long commitment instead of a quick fix.

Don’t know where to start? In the Gymondo app, explore 1000+ delicious and nutritious recipes with prep times under 30 minutes. And while our quick and easy meals might look like guilty pleasures, you’ll walk away from the table guilt-free! 

#3 Work Out From Home 

Women are busier than ever—from working longer hours to workplace promotions and family obligations, it’s a struggle to find the extra time to work out. Setting up a workout station from home will allow you the freedom to exercise at your own pace—whenever you want. Spicing up your daily workout routine in the Gymondo app is easy. You can find bodyweight and weight training exercises from HIIT to Yoga, Pilates and Barre, so you’ll never get bored. Our quick and effective workouts are designed for the busy woman who already has a lot on her plate. 

#4 Celebrate One Another

We all know the old saying, “never judge a book by its cover.” But it’s easier said than done! As women, sometimes our worst critics are other women. Instead of judging, we should be supporting one another, celebrating our accomplishments and telling one another how incredibly proud we are. 

The problem is…we don’t do it enough. We’ll happily sit on the sidelines and internally proclaim “I’m so inspired by her,” but say absolutely nothing to her face. We at Gymondo challenge you to celebrate one another. Your voice is your greatest asset. Use it to inspire and be inspired. 

If you’re looking for a great way to support others and be supported, join the Gymondo Facebook community, where you can find valuable tips and tricks on everything health- and fitness-related, plus delicious (and healthy) recipe ideas. Our friendly community is here to support you every step of the way. We share our wins and frustrations, knowing our shame-free community is always here for us. 

#5 Set SMART Health and Fitness Goals

Before you begin any journey, it’s important to know what you want to achieve. And once you start, it’s vital to stick to it. So, whatever your goal may be—from wanting to lose fat to getting toned or improving your overall fitness level, setting SMART goals will help you reach the objectives you’ve set for yourself and stick to it. SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely—all of which are important in reaching your long-term fitness goals. Goal setting helps keep you on track and reminds you of the priorities you’ve set for yourself the entire way through.

Takeaway

Together, we can do incredible things. Find a supportive community you can rely on, get into a fitness routine you can be proud of, compliment one another more often and set obtainable goals to reach your long-term fitness objectives. In 2020, let’s stay committed to bringing out the best in others (and ourselves). Happy International Women’s Day. We’re so proud of all you do.
