2 Tips for 8th Graders Starting A Workout Routine

I recently had a conversation that inspired me, and I wanted to share it with you all.

I attended an open house where a wise dad asked what advide I can share for an incoming freshman about to enter high school.

The two nuggets of wisdom?

  1. Find a workout buddy and

  2. Do something daily, make every day count, eliminating those "zero days."

The concept of having a workout buddy might seem simple, but it’s incredibly effective. Exercising with someone not only makes workouts more enjoyable, but it also provides the motivation we sometimes lack on our own. Having someone to share the journey with can turn a regular workout routine into a fun, social activity, and create life long memories.

The second piece of advice—no more zero days—resonates deeply with me. It’s all about making a commitment to do something, no matter how small, every single day. Whether it's a quick morning stretch, a short walk, or a home workout routine, these consistent efforts add up over time. They prevent us from falling off track and help us maintain our momentum towards a healthier lifestyle.

What I love most about these tips is their simplicity. You don’t need an elaborate plan or expensive equipment to stay fit. All it takes is finding a friend to exercise with and incorporating a daily routine into your life. These small changes can make a significant difference in your overall well-being.

So, here's to finding that workout buddy who will support and inspire you. Here's to making every day count, no matter how busy life gets. Let’s embrace these simple yet transformative ideas and work towards a healthier, happier and stronger version of ourselves.

Stay active, stay motivated, and keep pushing towards your goals!

Cheers to a healthier you! 🌟
