September 1, the perfect time to get back into your (sports) routine

After the holidays, sports are often put on the back burner. Much to your regret, when you decide to get back into it with new sports goals. However, many forget that less exercise goes hand in hand with loss of condition and resilience. A smart approach to finding your training rhythm again can quickly prevent injuries and other discomforts. Small changes can lead to big results and we are happy to help you on your way!
1. Start slowly and build up your basic fitness first
The biggest mistake most athletes make after a period of inactivity is to start where they left off. In other words, to exert too much effort. The temptation is of course great to jump right in. Unfortunately, this increases the risk of injuries and discomfort. Try to focus on your basic condition first by increasing your volume at a low intensity. See this as a great opportunity to build up your aerobic base, which will benefit you greatly in a later phase! Don't forget your recovery after training either. Your body needs extra attention to recover after a break. Recovery nutrition with sufficient proteins (e.g. whey, casein, recovery shake or protein oats-on the go) offer a solution.
2. Set a goal
If you don’t know why you’re doing something, it will be harder to keep it up. Setting sports goals will keep you motivated. However, it’s important that it’s your goal, that you’re excited about it. Set both short-term and long-term sports goals to keep it interesting.
3. Choose a fixed training time
A fixed training moment often makes it easier to maintain and plan a sports routine. After a while you fall into a habit and it costs you less and less effort. If you consistently stick to your fixed moments, your body will adapt.
4. Make arrangements with sports buddies
It is possible that your motivation has reached a low point after the holiday. You will have to get through this moment and a sports buddy can help you with this. You can motivate each other when things are a bit more difficult and the step to cancel at the last minute is higher. It gives you the stick behind the door to keep going. Moreover, exercising with two or in a group is just much more fun.
5. Reward yourself
There is no better way to stay motivated to exercise than through rewards. New sportswear or equipment always provides that little bit extra.
Not everyone is able to exercise every day, but exercise is possible. Try to take a walk during your lunch break or do some muscle exercises in the evening. Something is better than nothing. For breakfast we are happy to help you with 3Action Protein oats-on-the-go to make mornings a little less chaotic. Thank us later!
