No matter what has made you abandon your good habits, we guarantee that following our tips you will be back in shape.
Did you just have a baby
Heavy exercise is usually prohibited for up to six weeks after delivery. After that, exhaustion can keep new moms lying on the couch.
Tip: Even if you feel exhausted, put a DVD or raise your baby to the stroller to go for a brisk walk. That will increase your energy and help you sleep better and in the long term, exercising will help you overcome postpartum depression
Mental Trick: Commit yourself mentally to do only 5 to 10 minutes of exercise.
Your crazy schedule
The 12-hour working days do not leave much time to take boot camp classes or run to the park (not even for a while!).
Tip: Plan your routines when you have fewer conflicts, which, for most people, equals very early. Do not you like getting up early? Set your alarm a little earlier for a couple of days and that will gradually reset your biological clock so you have more energy. If you love (or need to) go to the gym in the evenings, change before leaving the office. That first step will force you to continue with your plan.
Mental Trick: Exercise, in addition to helping you maintain your mental acuity, learning ability and memory, helps you get better salaries if you train three or more times a week.
You're in love
Those who exercise in the morning often have trouble getting up when a child is sleeping next to them; Those who exercise in the afternoon do not want to cancel a romantic dinner to favor their exercise time.
Tip: train when he is not - for example, at your meal time or adapting your exercise to the days you go out with your friends (go to a pilates class and then have dinner). Even better, convince him to exercise with you. Coaching helps you have good communication and mutual support. It also helps you share interests.
Mental trick: it turns out that exercise improves your sex life more than sharing a bottle of wine: research shows that those who exercise often have more feelings of sexual craving. And yes, spending time with your boy is important, but a study found that women who also have a time of independence build happier marriages.
You had an injury
People often return running to their workouts, which puts them at risk of getting hurt again, or they are so afraid of being injured again that they stop training for longer than necessary.
Tip: After your doctor gives you discharge, gradually return to your routine and work up to 50% for two weeks, or choose the routine that suits your level of lack of conditioning). Lower it slightly if you start to resent the area. When you try to take care of a sore part, you lose your shape, which can lead to new injuries.
Mental Trick: Challenge those negative thoughts of 'me poor'. The idea of staying positive may seem silly, but it does work. Also you can trust that if your doctor gave you discharge it is because you are well.
