Spring Workouts for Beginners

Why Spring is the Perfect Time for Beginners to Start Working Out 

Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. The spring season isn’t just about blooming flowers and warmer weather. It’s also the perfect season for a fresh start.

The days are longer, the air is crisp, and everything around you is coming to life. It’s pretty inspiring, right? 

And the best part? You don’t need a gym membership or fancy equipment to get started. This spring workouts for beginners post is all about enjoying the season while moving your body in ways that feel good to YOU!

Step 1: Get Ready to Crush Your Goals 

1. Set Small, Achievable Goals

Don’t aim for perfection. Aim for progress. Whether it’s a 15 minute walk every day or trying a new workout twice a week, start small and build from there. 

2. Dress How You Want

Spring weather can be a little unpredictable, so layer up with breathable, lightweight clothes. Don't forget to treat yourself to a cute pair of sneakers because nothing gets you more excited than the first time wearing a new pair of shoes.

3. Create YOUR Vibe

Working out is more fun when you’re feeling the vibes. To keep you motivated, make a playlist of your favorite upbeat songs or find a podcast you love. I listen to podcasts when I'm walking on the treadmill. It makes more enjoyable for me. So I know it will for you, too!

Step 2: Beginner Friendly Spring Workouts to Try 

Now for the fun part! Here are some beginner friendly spring workouts that are perfect for just starting out: 

1. Begin with Walking

Walking is one of the easiest and most effective ways to get moving. Seriously. You can burn so many calories just by simply walking.

Take a stroll around your neighborhood, explore a local park, or find a trail nearby. Bonus: walking (or hiking) in nature is the BEST kind of mood booster! 

2. Try a Light Jog or Intervals

If you’re feeling adventurous, mix walking with short bursts of jogging. For example, walk for 2 minutes, jog for 30 seconds, and repeat.

Or, walk at your normal pace for 2 minutes and then "power walk" for 30 seconds. It’s a great way to build endurance without overwhelming yourself. 

3. Bodyweight Strength Routine

Regardless of what you may read or hear... You don’t need weights to get stronger. Body weight is the perfect amount of resistance for beginners and even more advanced gym goers.

Try this quick routine at home or outside (repeat 3 times if you're feeling spunky!): 

• 10 Squats

• 10 Lunges (each leg)

• 10 Modified Push Ups (on your knees)

• 20 Second Plank

4. Outdoor Yoga or Stretching

Roll out a yoga mat in your backyard or head to a local park. Start with simple poses like downward dog, child’s pose, and warrior 1. Yoga is GREAT for flexibility and stress relief, making it the perfect addition to your spring routine. 

I've added this into my workout routine to decompress, destress and center myself! It's such a great way to stay active but in a calming atmosphere.

Step 3: Stay Motivated and Consistent 

Okay, let's get to the elephant in the room.. starting something new is extremely exciting, but staying consistent can be tough.

Here’s how to keep that motivation going: 

Step 4: Fuel Your Spring Workouts the Right Way 

To feel your best, you’ve gotta fuel your body right. Stay hydrated (add lemon or cucumber to your water for a spring-like twist!) and focus on fresh, seasonal foods like berries, spinach, and asparagus. These will give you the energy you need to crush your workouts and feel great doing it.
