The most important step to start walking (or running) is to get going. But if we are talking about starting a healthy routine and an active lifestyle; this first step is always complex because of all that it entails: changes in our daily life, modifications in our habits and diet...
The main problem that people face when they decide to change their physical condition is to maintain a consistent exercise routine. The first day is usually the easiest, because the desire and motivation to start push us to go to the gym or just go out to exercise. The 'wall' comes the next day: the well-known 'stiffness' appears and the desire to continue decreases radically.
But at Orangetheory Fitness we have the perfect formula to encourage you to continue and, at last, make an important change in your life. We are very clear that the first steps are hard and expensive, but you must keep one thing in mind: the effort will be worth it.
Now, what is the secret to improving our physical condition and exercising regularly?
5 STEPS TO IMPROVE PHYSICAL CONDITION
1. CREATE A ROUTINE THAT FITS YOUR SCHEDULE
Work, family obligations, leisure... we know that it is difficult to reconcile physical exercise with your personal issues, but if you establish a routine in which you make room for exercise, everything will be much easier. One hour a day is more than enough.
2. SMALL CHANGES ARE VERY IMPORTANT
Once you have a routine adapted to your needs, make small changes in your daily life to make a difference and add an extra to your daily physical condition. We are referring here to changing the stairs for the elevator, exchanging the car or public transport with the bicycle or our own steps... very slight changes that will help us to improve in a practically unconscious way.
3. PATIENCE IS THE MOTHER OF SCIENCE
The old popular saying is very wise. It often happens that during our first day of training we give 200% and the next day we are absolutely exhausted. It is preferable to go little by little and stay wanting more, than to exhaust all our motivation in the first session. That desire for more that you keep is the secret to fulfill your routine.
4. FOOD IS FUNDAMENTAL
To your 'new life' you should also add a rich and varied diet, focused on giving you enough energy to be able to give your all in your daily exercise routine. At this point, it is very important that you go to qualified professionals to receive the right advice.

5. IN A GROUP, EVERYTHING IS MUCH MORE FUN!
At Orangetheory Fitness we know that exercising with others is much more motivating than doing it alone (we explain the differences between group and individual training). That's why our training system has in group classes one of its main pillars. Because... it's not all about suffering! We also take advantage of our company to organize events, challenges... and much more!
Because this, precisely, is our great secret: we are one big family!
And watch out! If you are one of those who prefer to train alone, we also have personal classes so you can train hand in hand with our coaches.
Ideally, you should stop by your nearest Orangetheory Fitness (discover our gyms in Madrid, gyms in Barcelona and gyms in Murcia) and try one of our classes for free.
