Shake up your workouts with ACUVUE®

Tired of the same exercise routine? Us too! Here are 5 ways to shake things up and maximise your daily workout.  

Make it a family affair 

Staying active as a family is a great way to clock quality time together while also getting in shape. And the best part is that family workouts don’t have to feel so serious. 

Why not create a fun obstacle course in the back garden? Don’t worry if you don’t have all the fancy gear — just get creative with items you already have at home. From jumping into hula hoops to crawling under deck chairs, there are lots of fun activities to get the whole family moving. 

Go the extra mile

There are tons of fun (and free) running apps you can download and start using right away. If you’re new to running, the NHS Couch to 5K program is the perfect place to start. 

No matter how much you love running, you’ll need a little variety to keep it fun and challenging. Instead of pounding the same path every day, seek out some new routes and different terrains.

Create a killer playlist

There’s no doubt that listening to music makes exercising more fun. But the perfect playlist can also boost your performance, reduce your perception of fatigue and improve your mood. Choose upbeat, fast-tempo songs to take your workout to the next level. 

No gym equipment? No worries

You don’t need fancy gym equipment to work up a sweat — you’ve got everything you need at home. A flour bag can double as an extra weight for your squats. Water bottles or tinned foods can be used as dumbbells. Grab a chair for dips and push ups. And if you’re really looking for a challenge, load an old backpack with books and hit the stairs for a cardio workout. You’ll want to tighten the straps to keep the weight comfortable on your back.

Reward yourself after a workout 

A little R&R is the best form of motivation and the perfect way to reward yourself after a workout. Take some time to listen to your favourite podcast, read a magazine or simply do nothing at all.
