The REAL TRUTH on who is exercising at home during Coronavirus
Episode description
For a while now We have wanted to share our thoughts and opinions on different fitness topics as they are supported by science, spinned around by the media (filters on) and felt in real life !
For us fitness fanatics and coaches we live and breath training and the importance of adherence but even WE have found it extremely difficult to play the tune of “movement is life” the very same concept we are so passionate about.
The way I see it is there are 4 fitness categories:
- fitness fanatic (live inside gyms not 7 days but 8 days a week)
- fitness enthusiast (weekend warriors)
- I hate working out crowd ( who either need motivation and kick in their butt by a trainer)
- complete non exercisers (hopefully if you are reading or watching this podcast, you get motivated to start)
The first 3 that typically go to a gym to train have set up a routine. It’s exciting at first to hop on the new “trend” of online exercise with new exercises maybe or a shredded trainer, but in reality it maybe hard to adhere. Mentally you can’t fully engage in why you are even exercising when the world as we know is not existing during this pandemic. When you re not “safe “ you can’t relax and stay on task at your 100 percent .
So what can you do to stay active?
- Make a plan exact dates , times and workout you will do.
- Write it down in your planner, on the fridge, reminder in phone.
- Make yourself accountable by getting family or friends involved.
- Once your done make a note how you felt. This is the most important part of being able to adhere as this will be a reminder of how you felt and your why.
