Getting back into Fitness

Before heading to university, gymnastics used to be my primary workout mainly because I enjoyed it and it was a great way to stay fit. When I left for university, there weren't sport teams that court my eye and I fancied joining and the 'I can't be bothered' attitude started to sink in - especially if I had been out the night before. Oops.

Since I'm back and working full-time, I decided to join the gym. The gym is a perfect place to workout... There is variety, a fitness drive atmosphere and plenty of choice in exercise methods; not to mention there are personal trainer on hand to get to direction if needed. Although it costs, there are so many benefits to working out at the gym oppose to at home but I would definitely recommend working out at home, if you have any free time.

I'm not saying to go to the gym for three hours, 7 days a week, you need to go as much or as little as you would like to. It's the little changes that will help you to get into fitness mindset and live a healthy lifestyle; so if it has been a while, why not start off with these tips:

THE LITTLE THINGS IN FITNESS 

• Walk instead of drive. Unfortunately I can't walk to work, it would take me hours but I can walk everywhere else... No excuse! 
• Cut out sugar in tea and coffee. Included syrups. 
• No more snacking (unless you are packing up the healthier option - an apple) 
• Planning your meals
• Motivate yourself with treats and new workout gear. 
• Take the stairs - a classic but it works! 
• Opt for the healthier option.
• Have a killer workout playlist that motivates you. 
• Build up your workouts slowly. 
• If you're to nervous for the gym or if it isn't for you; try home workouts first.
• Think of it as getting healthy appose to getting fit.

Until the next time I report on how well my fitness is going, Au Revoir! 

Love,
