Here are some top tips to get back on the fitness wagon
- Start slow
The first couple of weeks getting back into a fitness routine will be tough! Instead of working out to the point of exhaustion, be sure to take it easy initially. Check out this playlist of ‘Back to the Gym workouts’ on YouTube designed by PureGym to ease you safely back into the gym and give you the inspiration and motivation you need to smash your training again.
- Give yourself a break
Your body will need to rest as it will have become weaker from not exercising as much. By jumping back seven days a week you run the risk of overdoing it or injuring yourself.
- Lose the fear
It’s natural to feel anxious about returning to the gym in these circumstances. However, the new cleanliness guidelines are there to ensure your safety when working out. PureGym has been given a rating of 4.7/5 stars from more than 50,000 of their members.
- Give up a vice
If you’ve struggled to maintain healthy eating habits during lockdown, avoid diving into a diet and going cold turkey on all of your treats. This will just make it even harder to stick to your new food regime. Try giving up just one thing and you’ll be more successful than trying to cut all of your bad habits out of your life.
- Set achievable goals
Instead of thinking about the big picture you should try to focus on the short term. Set achievable day-to-day goals like using the treadmill for an extra five minutes, doing a couple more sit-ups each time or gradually lifting heavier weights.
