Hundreds, or even thousands, of you have started a fitness journey during lockdown, using the extra time over last three months to focus on yourself, to get happier, healthier, fitter and stronger, and generally feel like the most badass version of yourself.
And every beginner out there has made awesome progress by themselves, or with youtube workouts and generic plans.
But as lockdown measures are slowly being lifted (and then sometimes being reintroduced), and the weather turns, a lot of us are beginning to lose patience, motivation and the will to exercise.
This is when we have to rely on habits and willpower, and do the work even when we don't want to.
So how do we do that?
Plan ahead.
Don't work out 'when you want to'. Plan your week, and set time aside specifically to exercise.
Plan your workouts. As a newbie you can make progress just by picking up weights and moving around, but there's a difference between working out and training. To continue making progress, structure your workouts, and plan for progression.
At home, progression can be difficult, but plan for it anyway.
Two full body workouts a week, hitting every major muscle group and getting in some cardio during the week. Aim for each workout to contain an upper body push and pull exercise, a lower body push and pull exercise, a hip hinge movement, and some core work, and aim to improve and advance each week, and if you're not sure how to do that, then reach out to someone that does.
