Whether you're just getting into fitness, or have been into it forever, these tips will help make sure every work-out is effective.

1. Make a Workout Playlist 

Create a playlist on Spotify or apple music to get you motivated and pumped for a great workout! There are also many playlists already made if you don't want to make your own.

ALWAYS stretch first! You don't want to injure your muscles or feel sore in a bad way the next day.

6. Keep Track of Your Workout

There are many apps available to track/keep progress of your workout. This way you can also see how you're improving over time!

These are just some general tips and honestly, you can't go wrong with working out. But keep these tips in mind to have an effective and fun workout so you feel good about yourself! Enjoy!
