Getting Back in Shape
If you've taken a break from your exercise routine, finding the motivation to restart can be tough. What you need are realistic and attainable written goals to guide you.
Why Written Goals Matter
Writing down your goals transforms them from mere wishes into actionable plans. Research consistently shows the powerful impact of written goals.
Starting with Cardio
If you're returning to running, begin with walking. Depending on your fitness level, start with 15-20 minutes. If you're somewhat fit, aim for 30 minutes and slowly increase.
After a couple of weeks, ease back into running by alternating between walking and running. Try walking for ten minutes and running for five. Gradually increase the running intervals as your fitness improves and soreness decreases, eventually aiming for 30-45 minutes of continuous running.
Easing into Weight Training
If you’ve taken a break of more than a couple of months from weight training, it’s crucial to return slowly. Overexerting yourself can damage tendons and ligaments, so avoid using the same weights as before and reduce your sets.
For a gentle reintroduction, start your gym session with a 15-20 minute ride on a stationary bike. Then, focus on one body part per day.
For example, if you previously bench-pressed 300 pounds, start with 135 pounds, performing 3-4 sets of 15-20 reps. Use lighter weights for exercises like flat dumbbell flyes, maintaining higher reps to reduce stress on tendons and ligaments.
Building a Routine
Apply these guidelines to all body parts, gradually increasing weights and reps. Within a month, you'll be back to intensive training, steadily working towards your goals.
By setting clear, written goals and easing into your routine, you'll find yourself motivated and back on track in no time.
