SECRET NO. 2: TRACK YOUR PROGRESS ON AN APP

To get motivated, nothing's like seeing your progress and how far you've come! To help you, the range of Domyos fitness equipment is compatible with the E-Connected app. Totally free, it allows you to connect your treadmill, exercise bike, or cross trainer.

Each week, set your goal: burning calories, time spent on your equipment, or distance travelled... The E-Connected app will help you analyse your progress. Track your statistics by the day, week, or year. To make your life easier, the app can also automatically adjust your equipment while you enjoy a good film or your favourite music on your phone. Let us guide you towards reaching your goals! ;)

SECRET NO. 3: CREATE YOUR OWN CARDIO TRAINING FITNESS ROUTINE

As soon as you start, try as much as you can to set a daily or weekly routine. The goal: set a dedicated time for your workouts. This shouldn't become a chore: it's up to you to pick the best time. For example, take advantage of a lunch break at home for your cardio workout, or ride for a few minutes while your little one is napping.

The more your workout is anchored in your daily life, the easier it will be to keep motivated. For each workout, you'll adapt the content and the length based on your fitness level, your goals, and the time that you have. A good workout doesn't necessarily require an hour of your time: even ten minutes can be enough.

The essential thing is to maintain your cardio workouts over time. Once you've found your routine, you are sure to reach your goals!

Don't forget your main motivation. Whether you're exercising to stay in shape, lose weight, relax, or simply for your well-being, focusing on your goals can often strengthen your
