Returning to exercise after lockdown can bring up one of two emotions, either a

HELL YEAH! I’m fizzed to get back into it 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Or

OH S**T! I’m gonna die, I’ve done nothing over lockdown.
💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩☠️

No matter how you feel here are some tips for returning to exercise after lockdown.

1. Ease back into it, if you haven’t been working out regularly (or at all) or with your regular weights selections; then take it down a notch with the weight selections and train at 6-7/10 intensity rather than 8/10 that way you’ll still be able to walk the next day, and the day after that. (I learnt the hard way, comment if you want to hear my hilarious story of the hard way I learnt!🤣🤭)

2. Do a proper mobility warm up, many people have been working from home, others not at all, and while many have been going on walks; the amount of time spent sitting increased for everyone over lockdown. Mobilise and open joints like your hips, lumbar spine, thoracic spine and rounded shoulders.

3. Rest and recover - these are actually the secret to success in achieving your goals. You may or may not have worked out over lockdown, either way you don’t need to make up for the 3 weeks by exercising everyday. Take at least one rest day if not two, or split your workout week by alternating workout/rest/workout/rest

4. HAVE FUN, workout because you enjoy the way it makes you feel for the physical and mental benefits, not because you are punishing yourself after not doing anything or choosing food that weren’t optimal in pursuit of your goals.

5. If You’re not sure where to start, ask a professional - The Body Architect, Coach Kelly is here to help 💕
