Hello everyone, and welcome to the first post from Fit Your Self 260, a new fitness program with BOTH cardio and strength training!
Here at Fit Your Self 260, we believe in the value of both types of workouts to help maintain one’s individual health. We are also dedicated to helping you commit to your fitness! We promote exercise 5 days a week with two (important) rest days. We don’t want to overwork ourselves! The 260 in our name represents the number of days an individual should workout in a year following the model of 5 days of work and 2 days of rest. This helps us to stick with the routine of exercise without over exerting ourselves as well as helps us to stay committed to our fitness goals. You can also adjust your workout plan for the week to fit your busy lives and schedules!
Now that we’ve established the goal of Fit Your Self 260, let’s talk business. The purpose of the blog will be 1) to post weekly workout plans for people to use and 2) to allow our customers to follow us along our business journey as we continue to grow and adjust. This will allow our customers to test out our products and to stay updated on our progress! We appreciate all customer feedback, so don’t be afraid to comment to let us know your thoughts.
Business Progress:
Future things to look forward to will be:
- in person classes
- instruction/demonstration videos
We will be offering cardio classes soon once our program is finalized and situated. Stay tuned! We will also begin posting some videos to show what exercises will be included in our program as well as instructions on how to properly do them. This is to ensure the safety of our customers and to help you receive the best workout possible. Lastly, what are your thoughts on online cardio classes? Let us know below!
