The Moving House Workout Plan: Getting Fit Safely While Moving Houses

The Moving House Workout Plan: How to get fit safely while moving house  

With bathing suit season fast approaching, it stands to reason that many of you will be looking to get yourself beach ready. That might mean different things to different people – and there’s no right answer to what it is – but, for many of you it will mean it’s time to get a workout plan going!

However, it can be daunting to find the right plan. That’s especially the case when you are scouring the Internet trying to sort out the fly-by-night, trendy plans from the tried-and-true lifestyle choices that can help you meet your goals.

Well, fear not, we are here to help with our foolproof Moving House Workout Plan!  

If you follow this workout plan you can be sure to hit all your fitness goals AND you’ll have a brand-new space to live in come summer!

Most importantly, you’ll be able to do it all safely, without risk or injury.  

Plan to succeed; succeed with a plan

Every good workout – and move – starts with a plan. By committing yourself to do x, y and z at specific times you are going to reduce your stress and make it more likely that your move goes well and you hit all your fitness goals with the Moving House Workout Plan.  

Stretching: not just for elastic bands  

The Moving House Workout Plan involves a lot of activity, and you will discover new muscles that you were previously unaware of existing. So, it’s important that you prepare your body for this increase in activity. Do some light stretching – yoga is a great idea – in the lead up to the big workout days.  

That way your body will be prepared for the stress that will come from the Moving House Workout Plan and you will experience less DOMS* the next day.  

*You’ll find out

You’ll Never Move Alone 

When it comes to both moving and to the Moving House Workout Plan, it’s always best to do it with a friend. Several, if possible. The more hands there are to help the faster and safer things will be!  

YOUR LEGS! LIFT WITH YOUR LEGS!! 

When we say that the Moving House Workout Plan is a backbreaking activity we don’t mean literally.  

No, this should be a purely figurative expression. Lifting heavy items is one of the most common ways someone can get injured. That is why it is essential to learn how to lift properly. To lift correctly, keep your feet shoulder-width apart, squat to reduce pressure on your legs, and keep your back straight. Also, never lift with your back, only your legs, don’t contort your body or lift heavy items above your head, and make sure you’re on solid footing before you start to lift.  

Tools are your friends 

Here’s the thing: You don’t have to be a hero. There are a multitude of tools that you can use during the Moving House Workout Plan that make things much easier. Devices like dollies and lifting straps can make a move go smoother, especially when transporting large or heavy items.  

Better yet, go pro

There’s also the option of not doing the Moving House Workout Plan at all and instead hiring a professional mover to make sure everything goes to plan. Spending a few extra Loonies can lead to a lot of peace of mind as movers will know how best to handle your belongings which could prevent some items from getting damaged.  

Then you can focus on setting up your new space without worrying about all that lifting and carrying.  

And as far as getting that beach bod? Who are you kidding: you’re beautiful just the way you are!
