returning to exercise.......for whatever reason

Information suggests that we will soon be returning to exercise in gyms across the nation after strict social distancing policies were implemented back in March. This is an exciting thought for lots of people myself included however, I also have some concerns about how people are planning their return. Those concerns are not relevant for our members as we are confident that our program and guidance from BIO FIT coaches will give our members the absolute best chance of returning to exercise effectively, the same cannot be said for those returning to exercise without the guidance of exercise professionals.


So if you plan on doing your own thing here are some tips from me about getting moving again.
  1. Have a plan, this doesn’t have to be anything groundbreaking it could be as simple as scheduling in the exact days, times, and duration of your training sessions. It’s a fairly common saying but rings true, “failing to plan is planning to fail”. The depth of your plan should be specific to you as an individual try to avoid copying others and if you struggle to know what to do then reach out to a professional.
  2. Take it easy, if there is one scenario I have seen plenty of over the last 11 years in the fitness industry it’s people hitting the ground running when starting a new program, or training phase, etc, giving it everything they have for the first week or so then crashing and burning (sound familiar). I often say to clients and members that lots of consistent baby steps are always going to have a better chance of success than taking massive inconsistent leaps. This tip links back into number 1, in that you may plan 2-3 days of training in the first few weeks and then increase those sessions as the weeks go on, also plan for shorter sessions early on and increase the duration of sessions as the weeks go on.
  3. Variety doesn’t hurt, this is a fairly broad stroke of the brush but generally speaking for most people having some variety is a good thing, you have 7 days a week to train, consider 2 of those days as active rest (gentle low-intensity walk/mobility work) 2 days of resistance training, and 2 days of aerobic training (run, swim, ride) and that will leave you one day to add on wherever you like.
  4. Take pride in your movement, this is a message we are passionate about promoting and it applies to all environments of exercise. It is very relevant here because if you return to exercise in particular resistance training, correct movement execution is critical to avoiding injury and getting the most out of your training. If you lack understanding in this area all I can suggest is spending some time under the guidance of someone qualified to assist you.

​Cheers & Good Luck.
