How do I get back in the gym after a layoff?
For the person who has been unmotivated and out of the gym all winter, what are your recommendations on getting back into training now? Is Spring the time to renew your training…or should you have stuck with it all winter?
Gather together your wits and will and return to the gym immediately, if for nothing else but a visit.
The first step is the hardest. The determined action will preempt the accumulating forces of anticipation and procrastination, placing you in the arena and warming up like a champ.
Ten minutes on the stationary bike or treadmill, two or three friendly sets of your four favorite push and pull exercises, a pat on the back and home on Cloud Nine.
Exercise and eating right conditioning and physical fitness — are year-round responsibilities, privileges and joys, and should accompany us always.
Intensified training for the striving outdoor athlete — a stepping up of maintenance exercise typically begins in the spring. The year-round athlete is right on time, always on time.
Life is good, action is imperative… and delicious.
