From the couch to The Big Walk: ECR's 5 workout tips for 2024
Have you been contemplating getting your fitness on but just don't know where to start? Have no fear, we have you covered.
In celebration of the upcoming Suncoast East Coast Radio Big Walk, we have searched far and wide to bring you the best tips to get you off the couch.
1. Start super small
Small progress each and every day will lead to results. Even if it's five minutes of a home workout or taking a slow stroll of a few meters, it helps. All you have to do is just start.

2. Look the part
By no means do we suggest that you blow the bank on some expensive workout gear, but being comfortable and wearing clothes that won't chafe will help you take a step in the right direction. If you look the part you will feel the part.
3. Get a great playlist going
Searching your music provider of choice for some upbeat music to get you going will ignite a desire for moving you body. Don't forget you can always tune in and join your friends at East Coast Radio.

4. Get a buddy
Having someone to hold you accountable will ensure you do not fall into a slump of not feeling like doing anything. Doing a simple workout is made better when you have other people around you. Another suggestion would be to join a beginner fitness class.
5. Walk, walk, walk
Walking is a low impact exercise that provides incredible health benefits. If you start your journey now, you will be walking 5km in no time. We do hope you join us on 26 May 2024. It will be one to remember!
