A 25-minute circuit workout for days when you're low on motivation
Let fitness coach Beverley Cheng lead you through a workout that starts slow and builds as your energy does
POV: You want to get a workout in, but you're not feeling motivated...
You're not the only one who feels this way. Fitness coach Beverley Cheng says that finding the drive to exercise is one of the biggest barriers to establishing consistency with working out.
In this video — the first in her new series Fit for Me — Beverley will take you through a 25-minute routine that's ideal for those days when it's hard to get going. You'll start with a feel-good warm-up, then move into three circuits that get a bit more challenging.
"In this session, we are starting slow and building up," Beverley says. "It's just about getting moving and giving yourself the opportunity to go slow or finish strong."
Check out the full workout video below, then scroll down for a rundown of the exercises in each circuit. All you'll need is a resistance band to get started!
