The Exercise Motivation We Didn't Know We Needed: Workout Jars

Keep track of your home workouts with workout jars!


As we spend more and more time indoors, we tend to lose track of time and miss out on those critical daily workouts. Fear no more, DIY workout jars are here to help you stay on track with your exercise goals during quarantine.


This simple workout jar is an easy answer to staying in shape during quarantine and spicing up your life with a different type of workout for each day. The only materials you require are a pen, wooden craft sticks, stickers, and aesthetic cups.


Some alternate versions for these jars include swapping stickers for adhesive poster paper to glue on the cups, and using paper to track your workouts rather than wooden sticks. You can also add your own touch such as glitter glue to make the workout jars cater towards your interests and aesthetic.




Results:


Given the nature of the materials required for the project, and the steps, the final jar was not difficult to create. I had a great time completing this project because I had a lot of autonomy and creative freedom to go the direction that worked best for me with the workout jars. This is a key piece of the jar because it allows the creator flexibility in creating something that is visually appealing to them.


Having this flexibility is imperative when designing something that is meant to keep you motivated to exercise. If you were to see something that you didn't relate to or find appealing, why would you choose to exercise? The workout jar allows you to create a safe space for yourself while working to improve your physical abilities.


I can say that as I've had the workout jars in my room over the last few days, I have felt more inclined to workout. The variety in the tasks in the jar have also helped me differentiate between my different exercise and ensure that I am keeping active in multiple different ways and forms. This helps me keep my body healthier than if I were just performing the same workout every day.


Overall Verdict:


Workout jars are easy to create and offer a lot of value in their ability to remind individuals to exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle. They also act as a unique aesthetic to add to a room and make it feel more like your space. I would definitely recommend the workout jars to anyone who considers themselves active and I'm excited to see the different variations that readers create!
