Reenergizing Your Fitness Routine: Overcoming Lethargy

 

We all acknowledge the benefits of leading a disciplined lifestyle that includes healthy activities like eating clean, getting proper sleep, and working out. Yet, sometimes we slip into a sedentary zone where we lose the motivation of following the routine activities especially when it comes to working out. This phase can last for a week or two, or even extend to a month. If you have been habitual in following the exercise routines for years then the thought of not working out for a month can be quite unsettling. The feeling of guilt would hover you and you will constantly look for motivation.

So, how to come out of the lethargic zone? Well, enjoy Netflix! 😉 Its certainly not a bad idea but of course it’s not a long-term solution. A little bit of effort can go a long way. Let me jot down some of the steps I have used to regain my motivation and returned to my disciplined routine: 

• Change up your exercises. If you have been stuck with cardio, try walking. If you are bored of yoga, consider starting strength training. 
• If you are tired of home workouts, go to the gym. If that’s not a good option, call your exercise partner over to your place
• Watch workout reels on social media for inspiration and motivation
• Read articles targeting health and fitness
• Stay hydrated by drinking a lot of water as it can have a positive impact on your energy levels
• Enjoy a limited quantity of dark chocolate
• If none of these strategies work for you, try heaving a junk meal which might make you feel guilty and you will go back to your yoga matt 😉

Last but not the least, always remember that a little break from daily routine is always refreshing. It is a good idea to enjoy the downtime and give the rest to your body it deserves. Just ensure that it doesn’t stretch for a month.

Happy Exercising!
