Like many people, I enjoy going to rock concerts. Good bands form to make good music, and like a great rock band does for music, you can form a “fitness band” to to make great workouts!
At our headquarters on the Westbank of New Orleans, myself along with April Grandbouche our Director of Logistics and Manufacturing, and Robyn Powell our Director of IT, we formed a fitness band of three and we have been killing it for lunchtime workouts inside of our corporate HOTWORX sauna. We discovered the effectiveness of this approach to working out which includes: motivation, accountability and camaraderie combined with the fun of doing a different HOTWORX isometric or HIIT workout every day on a rotation.
Motivation
It has been proven that motivation goes up when workouts are performed in a group. You’ve no doubt heard the expression, “band together for a common cause” (author unknown). One can accomplish more when banded together by three! Energy of one can be transformed into synergy of three given the right workout and environment.
Accountability
Form a fitness band and your workout discipline will elevate in terms of workout frequency and workout intensity. You will not want to let your band down! It’s a good form of peer pressure.
Camaraderie
The HOTWORX sauna and workout program was invented to leverage the power of a small group of three individuals working out together to the same program. In a small group of three the competitiveness is intimate and empowering. For our group, we find camaraderie in the fact that we all have busy schedules, we all have kids and we all work for the same organization. We workout fast and we have fun doing it as a team!
The fact that more workout gets done in way less time is probably the most important advantage. As a former 90 minute hot yoga enthusiast, I can tell you that you will experience the same, perhaps even better results with a 30 minute HOTWORX routine, which makes it perfect for a lunchtime group! Use a cold lemon infused towelette to wipe off the toxins afterwards and you will be refreshed, energized and ready for the rest of your work day.
Great rock bands synchronize their instruments and vocals to create great music. You can find your band of three and create a great hot workout vibe for your new fitness band!
