Lost Your Motivation? This 28-Day Fitness Routine Reboot Helps You Find Joy in Movement

Fitness

There’s nothing wrong with setting lofty fitness goals for yourself, but what happens when you fall behind, start skipping workouts, or lose motivation? What if you’re too daunted to even start? It’s amazing how quickly fitness stops feeling fun and starts to become a chore.

That’s why we came up with POPSUGAR’s first-ever 28-Day Fitness Routine Reboot, designed to help you find the joy in working out no matter where you are on your journey. Every day, we’ve set you up with a mini-challenge that’s focused on being fun instead of intimidating — but don’t worry, we’ll still be pushing you out of your comfort zone! The goal: to wake up every day excited to get moving and take on the next challenge. And if you’re looking for a community to help you out and keep you accountable, be sure to join the POPSUGAR Workout Club on Facebook, where we’ll be working out together all month long (and beyond). Check out the Reboot below and let’s get sweating!
