September, the month of the return, of the return to routine and of new work resolutions, is upon us and this is the perfect opportunity to return to the sport with new renewed objectives. Efthalia tsimkas, master trainer from Brooklyn fitboxing gives us the best tips to start training again in September and get the fittest run of the moment. Note them all!
Think positive: Controlling the mind, not getting carried away by laziness and remembering the good feelings you get after physical exertion is the first step to train with motivation and desire.
Listen to the body: “Little by little” is the key to achieving the goals in progressive training. It is not necessary to give everything in the beginning, the energy must be dosed to achieve the objectives and avoid abandonment.
Schedule: Schedule the weekly calendar, set a specific time and day to exercise, starting with 2 or 3 days of weekly exercise gradually increasing. Plan the days so you don’t get lazy!
Take care of the fuel: “Eat and hydrate well”, the body needs a balanced diet that provides enough energy to carry out the routine. Include all food groups in your diet and get plenty of rest.
Goals set: The relationship with sport must be sustainable to be profitable. Short-term goals help maintain the illusion of day one until exercise becomes a habit and part of everyday life. Achievable goals ensure that your motivation does not disappear in the first month.
Prepare the kit: Good footwear, comfortable and breathable clothing. More and more options are offered by fashion brands and companies, who are aware of the benefits of practicing sports in all aspects of life. It is important to equip yourself with what is necessary for the corresponding level or exercise.
looking for new challenges: Choosing a sport, an activity that entertains and motivates, something that breaks the routine, leaves behind the fear of trying and learning different activities, taking on new challenges that adapt to the needs and current physical condition of every person is something vital.
Company: A vibrant environment, with training partners, promotes a greater desire to keep going. If it is difficult to get started and take the first step when it comes to training, you can find a sports partner, someone who will help you gain the willpower needed to get to the training.
Adequate breathing and rest: Taking breaks from time to time allows the muscles to recover, not every day we feel the energy at 100% and less after a period of break, it is essential to breathe and not to obsess about the goals.
Take the initiative: You are the real protagonist of this story, stay on your way to your new lifestyle and get motivated as you watch the progress.
