???? Inspire Your Loved Ones to Embrace Fitness in the New Year ????️‍♀️????‍♂️

As we roll out of the holiday season, you might be buzzing with the energy to get back into your fitness groove. But what about your loved ones? Maybe they’re feeling a bit hesitant to start their own fitness journey. Here’s the scoop on how you can be their guiding star, without turning into a fitness fanatic drill sergeant. Ready? Let’s dive in!

1. Lead by Example, Not by Lecture ???? Ever heard the saying, “Actions speak louder than words”? It’s gold when it comes to motivating others. Instead of bombarding your family and friends with fitness facts or why they should hit the gym, let them see the positive changes in you. Be the living, breathing (and smiling!) example of how fitness can transform lives. When they see you glowing with that post-workout happiness or hear about your latest achievement at Lumos, they’ll start wondering, “Hey, what if I gave it a try?”

2. Share, Don’t Compare ???? Nothing squashes motivation like feeling judged or compared. So, when chatting about fitness, focus on sharing your experiences rather than comparing progress. Talk about how great you felt after your last workout, or the fun community vibe at your gym. Keep it light, positive, and personal. Think of it as sharing a cool secret rather than giving a motivational speech. It’s about planting a seed of curiosity, not a sense of obligation.

3. Craft Invitations, Not Ultimatums ???? Who can resist a friendly invitation? Invite your loved ones to join you for a fun workout session. Maybe it’s a themed class at Lumos, or a casual jog in the park. Make it sound like an adventure, not a chore. “Hey, want to join me for a superhero-themed workout this Saturday? It’s going to be epic!” is way more enticing than, “You should really come to the gym with me.” It’s about making fitness an enjoyable and shared experience, not a solo slog.

Remember, everyone’s fitness journey is unique. It’s not about pushing someone onto a path; it’s about illuminating the trail and walking alongside them when they’re ready to take the first step. Be their cheerleader, their co-adventurer, and most importantly, their friend who just happens to love fitness.

P.S. If you or your loved ones are looking for a place to start, Lumos Fitness Collective is always here with open arms and a supportive community. Let’s make fitness fun together! ????????????‍♀️????️‍♂️
