We all lead busy lives, so it can be hard to factor in time for ourselves around the 9-5, school run, or studies, let alone making time for a workout.
The last thing we often want to do after a long day in the office, a commute home, is to run a marathon, or traipse to a gym session, only to get home and have little time to cook dinner, watch our favourite series, and sleep. We’d rather skip to the dinner, bath, movie marathon and bed parts. Yes, we have reverted back to being a baby.
Now that autumn is drawing closer it is even harder to find the motivation to exercise, but weight loss app Simple has made exercising exactly that – simple!
Simple’s Chair Yoga went viral for making exercising for a minimum of 10 minutes a day easy, accessible and fun.
Chair Yoga is exactly that, a programme designed for beginners, advanced fitness buffs, as well as people of all ages, to move their body. It draws on the basic principles of mobility training and low-impact yoga, and centres it around the chair, which we are often glued to. So there really is no excuse not to move your body.
It is super simple to join the programme, especially now customers can sign up to a personalised plan for half price.
To secure your own personalised plan is simple (pardon the pun). All you have to do is select your age group and gender. To complete your personal profile you need to share your fitness goals, whether it is to lose weight, get firm and toned, relieve stress, or improve heart health.
Customers will be asked if they have practiced chair yoga before (be honest), describe their body type between regular, flabby and extra, before sharing their ‘dream body’, which is either fit, athletic or shapely. You are then asked to share your target area, either arms, legs, stomach or chest, as well as your height, weight – as it calculates your BMI – before sharing your desired weight.
To personalise your programme even further, Simple asks your activity level, if you have practiced yoga before, as well as the desired time you can allocate to a workout. Other questions include your diet plan, eating habits, if you are experiencing any pain, have injuries, or are going through the menopause. The key (and final) question is how ready you are to take action.
The personalised plan is then created and emailed to you, which is when payment is required.
This plan will not only include Chair Yoga, and recommended movements for your specific needs and goals, but a meal plan too. Plus, a personalised wellness assistant will be on hand 24/7 – it’s basically your own PT on speeddial.
The plans can vary in cost from a one-week trial for £17.77, a four-week plan costs £38.95, or a 12-week plan fetches £66.65. However, the sale sees these prices slash to £6.93, £15.1, and £25.99 respectively.
So, all you have to do is complete the form, and start your fitness journey – all while sitting on a chair! It’s unsurprising the programme has been such a success.
