How does it work?
The whole purpose behind the rainbow is to encourage balance and make sure you can build it into your routine. Think of it as planning a balanced diet—you wouldn’t eat the same food every day. Similarly, varying your exercises keeps your fitness routine exciting and well-rounded.
How to Build Your Fitness Rainbow:
1. Identify Your Colours:
Different types of exercises correspond to different "colours" based on their benefits. For example:
- Red: Cardiovascular exercises (running, cycling)
- Orange: Strength training (weightlifting, bodyweight exercises)
- Yellow: Flexibility and balance (Pilates, yoga)
- Green: Outdoor activities (hiking, gardening)
- Blue: Water sports (swimming, kayaking)
- Purple: Team sports (football, basketball)
2. Plan Your Week:
Just like a shopping list for food and planning meals, think of how you can incorporate these activities into your week. Here’s an example:
Monday:
🌿 **Gardening (Green)
Spend 30 minutes in the garden—weed, plant, and enjoy the fresh air.
Wednesday:
⚽ Play Football with the Kids (Purple)
Head to the park for 45 minutes of fun football with the kids.
Friday:
🧘♀️ **Pilates YouTube Class (Yellow)**
Find a 20-minute Pilates class on YouTube and squeeze it into your day.
Tips for Success:
1. Stay Flexible: Adjust your schedule as needed and mix up the activities to keep things interesting.
2. Get Creative: Incorporate exercise into daily habits, like walking or cycling instead of driving.
3. Make it Fun: Choose activities you enjoy to ensure you stick with them.
By planning your fitness routine like a rainbow, you’ll enjoy a balanced, colourful, and sustainable approach to staying active and healthy.
