If you've fallen off the fitness bandwagon as of late and have been off for more than a couple months, there's a very good chance you are starting to fear going back.
By this point, you've also lost much of the fitness you had gained and know you will have one hard road ahead of you. This said, with the right approach, it doesn't need to be nearly as challenging as you might think. You just need a positive attitude, a good dose of motivation, and a support team around you.
Let's go over four ways to ensure getting back into it is manageable...
1. Give Yourself A Break. First, don't be too hard on yourself. If you expect yourself to be perfect and back into the same shape you were when you left off, you'll just be setting yourself up to fail. Give yourself permission to go slow. If you don't have these high expectations going in, you won't feel nearly as intimidated by each session that comes your way.
This will then increase your gym adherence, which then will improve your speed of progress.
2. Go For 5 Rounds Of 10. The next smart move is to consider going for five rounds of 10. And by this, I don't mean five sets of 10 reps. I mean five workouts per week, each lasting 10 minutes in length. This will ease you into it as each workout is so short in nature, but at the same time, help ensure the exercise routine becomes a habit.
This is the primary goal here - you want to build a habit of making fitness a regular part of your day.
Do this first and then focus on increasing the duration of the sessions from there.
3. Treat Yourself To A Massage. As you get back into it, also consider treating yourself to a massage every now and then as well. This will help relieve some of the muscle soreness you might be experiencing and help give you a reward for all the hard work you've been putting in.
4. Pick Up Some New Music. Finally, last but not least, load up your Mp3 player with some new music. There are few things like a good workout session to get you in the mood to keep up with your exercise plan.
So there you have a few quick and simple tips to remember to keep you inspired to continually push onward. If you can use these, you will soon find you're back in your groove and loving fitness again.
