Home fitness for the Lunar New Year – no need to worry about indulging in lavish meals!

Home Fitness Tips

1. Learn to Enjoy Exercise

Always find yourself giving up on exercising halfway? Find a fitness schedule that suits your physical abilities, follow the plan, and remember that the duration doesn't need to be long – just 10 minutes a day. Consistency is key. Pair it with your favorite music and enjoy your favorite TV series while not compromising your workout form – it will make the exercise process more enjoyable!

2. Watch Online Tutorial Videos

Ensure a proper warm-up before exercise. If you're a fitness novice, learn the correct exercise posture first, gradually increasing intensity. Utilize online tutorial videos to learn the correct exercise methods, power exertion, and posture to avoid compensation.

3. Prepare Home Fitness Equipment

Get suitable workout attire and essential home fitness items like a yoga mat. Depending on your needs, consider purchasing dumbbells, resistance bands, and other fitness equipment. Additionally, having a phone mount that can secure your phone is essential. Recommend the Bone Magnetic Fitness Phone Mount – it can be magnetically attached anywhere, making your home fitness plan smoother!
