Are you looking to get back into a fitness routine after falling off the wagon?
.
The following tips may help.
.
Don’t beat yourself up for the current exercise hiatus. Life happens, so try to come up with more realistic goals this time around.
.
For the first two weeks: cut the frequency and duration of your sessions in half compared to what you were doing before you stopped.
.
Have realistic expectations about the first couple of weeks of training. During this time, previous “easier” workouts will be a bit more difficult.
.
Remember the 2-4-8 rule. It takes two weeks of consistent training to feel fitter, four weeks till you see changes to your body, and eight weeks till other people notice those changes.
.
As per our previous post. Focus on all dimensions of wellness to reduce the pressure in getting back on track. This includes the positive impact of exercise on your intellectual, emotional, spiritual, environmental, social, and occupational wellbeing.
.
Plan for setbacks. For example, If the work/travel derailed you last time then schedule bodyweight routines for the upcoming busy season.
.
Schedule an appointment with a professional to ensure your meal plan aligns with your goals (muscle building, endurance, weight loss, etc.).
.
Make it a great day!
