Keep yourself accountable
According to Castano, the first step in achieving a goal is to "make it known to anyone that will listen. This keeps you accountable as you will get constantly reminded about it."
Set achievable goals
When setting goals for the year ahead, Castano recommends committing to something that is "attainable and realistic, but also measurable."
"If 2021 is going to be the year you put your health first…make sure 80% of the time, what you do is towards that goal," he explained. "
The other 20% of the time life happens, you will have birthdays, dinners with friends, holidays and other sorts of things, allow yourself to enjoy that but make sure when it's over, you get right back into it."
How long to work out for
Castano tells his clients to get moving for at least 45 minutes a day, whether it's a sweat-dripping workout or low intensity.
"One of my biggest things is 45 daily…Everyone has 45 minutes somewhere and it doesn't have to be a grueling sweat-sesh either, it could even just be a walk." he explained.
What excercise to do
Wilson's six-day workout routine reportedly combined HIIT, mobility, and weights, and while her workouts sometimes incorporated tire flips and battle ropes, Castano offered tips for building strength in at-home workouts.
"Utilize what you got but if you feel like it is getting a bit boring, adding in some new equipment will help," he said. "Resistance bands and hand weights are easy to store and can definitely amp up an any home workout."
The real secret
"First and foremost, for me, I always want my clients to enjoy their workout," says Castano.
"If you don't enjoy it, you won't do it. Finding a workout you enjoy and can fit into your schedule is important."
