Most of us have spent a little more time than usual at home over the last two years. I don’t know about you, but I seriously fell off my trying-to-be-fit bandwagon. Unlike what feels like everyone I know, I didn’t emerge, lockdown after lockdown, feeling the best about myself mentally and physically. But at some point, I had to get up and do something about it. I had spent hours on my couch to the point where I was sure there was a permanent Drishti-shaped dent in it.
The problem with me is that I struggle to find the motivation to work out. But I decided this year is the year I commit to exercising. No more excuses. Come rain or shine, I have to power through this feeling and build a habit. To push you (and myself), I have found the best fitness tips that will change your life. From suggestions on how to stay motivated to using household items for weight training, here is some inside intel that will make hopefully working out a little bit easier and a lot more fun for you.
Don’t be too hard on yourself
Probably the most basic tip of all: Cut yourself some slack. This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t make an effort and give up, no. But, if you’re feeling down one day and the only thing you can get yourself to do is a stretching session, do it. Just show up for yourself the best you can and you will appreciate it.
