Sometimes you have to change your usual way of life, because some events make their own adjustments: for example, the workload has increased, your health has deteriorated, or you just got very tired and decided to rest. In this publication, I decided to share my personal experience of how I managed to return to training on a regular basis. If we consider my last return to training, I resumed training around the end of September 2022. My main goal was to increase the endurance of the body and for the body to become more fit. I carried out simple programs: I simply selected several videos with training for different muscle groups and combined them. It sounds very simple: “I decided - I did it.” But was this undertaking really so easy for me? Initially, it was difficult for me to decide: either I wasn’t in the mood, or I had the time, or I was lazy. Even when I set a clear goal for myself, there was still something missing for me to get started. Maybe I was waiting for inspiration, I don’t know for sure. But because I didn’t start studying, my mood only worsened. I even scolded myself and I had thoughts like: “But I could have been studying for a whole month already.” Soon the idea came to me to experiment on myself. I just decided to do at least one workout a day (10-15 minutes) for a month. The essence of the idea was that you need to act despite negative thoughts and emotions. You just take it and do it. This is how I agreed with myself. At first I really did one workout a day, but over time I wanted to do more, I felt stronger, and the lesson lasted 20-25 minutes. I enjoyed training, I liked that I didn’t deviate from the plan, and everything worked out for me. The experiment was successful, I worked out not even 30 days in a row, but more than 60. Then I reduced the number of classes a little and started training 4-5 times a week. Now I’m on a break again, I’m not working out, and I’m going to return to physical activity again. I’ve done this before, but every time it’s just as difficult as the first time. In conclusion, I’ll write the main recommendations that I would like to give to everyone who resumes training. If before the break you had already achieved some success, then, preferably, the first few weeks, give yourself a lighter load than it was before the break, and gradually increase it. This way you will smoothly integrate into the process, and there will be no strong desire to quit what you started. It is also important to understand why you are going to exercise, because if there is no clear goal, then you should not expect sustainable motivation. How do you return to training after a break? If the topic resonates, book a consultation with me. I will help you get rid of overeating and normalize nutrition through working with your emotional state.
