Remember the days when fitting exercise into your schedule was as automatic as having breakfast or brushing your teeth?

It’s understandable… life got busier, whether due to the pandemic, a new job, added family responsibilities, or an overflowing calendar, your workout routine gradually faded away…

But now, if you find yourself in a state of inactivity, not feeling your best, take courage, you can reestablish a workout routine that is  achievable with a bit of planning, patience, and motivation.

Here are some practical tips to guide you through the process:

  1. Ease back into exercise gradually; don’t expect to pick up where you left off immediately.
  2. Be mentally prepared for the challenge, as restarting may leave you pleasantly sore.
  3. Avoid dwelling on past achievements and focus on incremental improvements.
  4. Emphasize proper form to maximize the benefits of each exercise, using this restart as an opportunity to build muscle memory.
  5. Diversify your routine by incorporating both cardio and strength training for a well-rounded approach.
  6. Stay consistent with your exercise routine and learn to enjoy the feeling of working towards a stronger and fitter body.
