Learn: How To Fix Inconsistency In Fitness

Image
Inconsistency in fitness happens when you go on a hiatus from your journey every once in a while (weeks/months) which eventually inhibits the effects of those isolated efforts you have made. Due to  muscle memory   there's always hope even when you've been on hiatus for years. It is based on that hope that I bring you a few ideas on how to deal with inconsistency so you can have a smooth ride all the way.  Firstly, there are about four reasons why anyone might be inconsistent: No Motivation/Interest : You don't derive pleasure or value from working out, You find it hard to dedicate time for the activity.  No Ideas: You’ve done the same exercises over and over again and now they are boring.

Following my last post on couples workout, I decided to do an outdoor version which would give couples an idea on how they can have an exciting workout together even without the equipments found in the gym.  I have divided the exercises described into four parts which are cardio, lower body workout, abdominals and upper body workout.  The routine should take approximately 45 minutes to be completed. Try this routine at the cool of the evening with your spouse following these descriptive guidelines: CARDIO: The cardio exercises suggested may require cones, stones or markings on the ground. Cone Drills: Cone drills are mostly used by athletes, especially soccer players. We know you are not an athlete hence we have only suggested some mild drills which can in fact be done even without cones. The idea here is basically activation for workout which can be achieved with the following exercises: The One Leg Hop:For a soccer player, the one leg hop is used to build endurance and improve coordi
