How to Get Back on Track With Your Exercise Routine After Vacation?
1. Schedule Out Your Exercise for the Week Before It Begins
While driving or flying back home, grab your calendar and work out when you can schedule in exercise during the week. Morning? After work? During a lunch break? When the kids go to bed? By viewing your schedule, you can assess when you want to carve out time.
It’s part of a healthy lifestyle so should be booked in.
2. Choose Activities You Enjoy
It can be easy to pressure ourselves into hard-core, vigorous exercise if we have been out of the routine for a long period of time. Often this is our way of ‘punishing’ ourselves for avoidance of exercise. But,this is not healthy. Shaming and guilting ourselves into certain routines, like exercise, only make us feel bad and keep us in negative dieting and poor self-image cycles.
Make sure to choose exercise that you want to do and don‘t “binge” exercise - this will only encourage fatigue and injury - which cause setbacks andslow your results
3. Get Some Inspiration
When getting back into a routine you desire, it can feel a bit uncomfortable and messy.
Choose a word, phrase or quote that you want to focus on for the week to keep you moving towards your goals. It only needs to inspire you- not anyone else.
For someone, it could be the word “strong.” For another person, it could be the quote, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” Think about it repeatedly until it sinks into your beliefs and values.
What you believe, you will achieve!
When you want to get back on track with your exercise routine, it can feel overwhelming if you allow it. Instead, decide to schedule it. make it fun and stay inspired.
Don’t chase perfection, but run after your best self!
