Getting Back Into a Fitness Routine ...Without Overdoing It
If you took some time off from exercise over the holidays, youโre not behind โ youโre normal ๐
The most important thing right now is getting back into a rhythm that works for you.
After 50, your body responds best when you ease back in. Jumping straight into long or intense workouts can lead to soreness, fatigue, or injury โ and thatโs when people tend to stop altogether.
Try this approach:
-
Start with walking or low-impact movement
-
Add light strength training 2โ3 times per week
-
Keep workouts shorter and manageable
-
Pay attention to how your body feels the next day
Consistency builds confidence. Confidence builds motivation.
Before you know it, movement starts to feel like part of your day again โ not something you have to force.
Your goal this week isnโt perfection.
Itโs simply to keep moving.
If you still need a kickstart ... An easy way to get moving is with my FREE 7 day Walk at Home Challenge. The walks in this challenge start at 30 min and go to 60 min. That can be a bit much for some, so start with 10-15 min a day or what's right for you ๐
