Get Back Into Exercising Regularly

Ready to restart your fitness journey? The key is to keep it simple and flexible. Don’t worry about complex training zones or strict schedules—just focus on creating a balanced routine with a variety of intensities. Commit to the minimum; instead of planning three days of strength training plan for one non-negotiable day. Training consistently is the key and a building block for your routine.

Here’s a guide to help you get started:

1. Mix It Up: Try different activities to keep things interesting—running, swimming, strength training, or even a yoga class. Variety prevents burnout and keeps you motivated.

2. Listen to Your Body: Ease back in and find your rhythm. Start with moderate workouts and gradually increase intensity as you build confidence and endurance. Once you build your capacity you should vary the intensity of training sessions; some hard days & some easy.

3. Set Realistic Goals: Aim low. 1-2 sessions a week, and build from there. Make them fun, challenging, and varied to keep you coming back for more.

4. Enjoy the Process: Exercise should be enjoyable, not a chore (fun fact, exercise is NOT always enjoyable). Whether it’s a brisk walk in the park, a run at the track or an interval training session, try to pick activities that make you happy.

There’s no one-size-fits-all. The important thing is that you get out there and get moving!
