Have you lost your love of working out? Or has the lockdown lifestyle had you drawn more to the couch than to the weights? It can be challenging to slot back into a workout routine that you actually enjoy without having the feeling like you are forcing yourself to get sweaty and sore. What you need is a good old-fashioned reboot of the system to get you back to a place where you can feel excited to get working out again.<\/p>\n

Here are a few steps that you can try to get that exercise routine going once again:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Reconnect With Why<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Take some time before you start your first workout to remember why you love to workout<\/a>. Is it because you like to feel strong? Is it for those endorphins after you\u2019re done? To lose weight or to gain muscle? Or merely to take a break during the week to do something for yourself? Getting in the right headspace will make a difference in the way that you approach a workout and, if you go in excited, you are more likely to have a better experience.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Start off Slow<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Don\u2019t jump back in with the same level of workouts that you used to do and expect to get the same results. This is also true if you are looking to mix up your current routine – don\u2019t be expecting too much from yourself when you start something new as it is better to take time and work towards getting better.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Focus on Proper Form vs Results<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Whether you\u2019re restarting or starting anew, try to focus on improving your form during exercises<\/a> and getting your breathing comfortable. This will lead to better results in the long run and will stop you from getting injured from movements that your body is not used to yet.<\/p>\n

          Walking is a Workout!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If you are starting up again or wanting to shake up your routine remember that walking is an exercise in itself. Getting aerobic exercise from walking is a great way to get your body used to more movement.<\/p>\n

            Set Goals <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Establish small and realistic goals for yourself and then build healthy habits by sticking to them. If a workout is too hard, congratulate yourself on doing part of it – because just showing up to the workout is a mental step in the right direction.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. \n

              Friends Are There to Help<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Get a friend who also wants to get more active or find one who already is. You don\u2019t need to work out with them if you don\u2019t feel comfortable yet, but having someone else who you can talk to, complain to, and share workout advice with will help keep you motivated.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. \n

                Try New Things <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                If you are getting back into things or starting fresh don\u2019t feel as though you need to stick to one type of exercise. There are so many choices which are available, for example: HIIT workouts, dance workouts, weights, Pilates, yoga, running, walking, swimming, wakeboarding, and more. Do whatever gets you moving and makes you feel good!<\/p>\n

                Try to keep motivated and keep learning about your body. The most essential thing is to create a routine that you enjoy and that you can realistically stick to. Once you have found the joy in working out it will become easier to keep going and see results.<\/p>\n
