Spring has arrived, and that means that there is no longer any excuse for not getting out of the house and enjoying the weather whilst improving your fitness at the same time. The benefits of exercise are well proven, and if you are seriously committed to improving your wellness and taking care of your wellbeing, you really need to get started on an exercise programme soon – and soon means today!
Fitness doesn’t come for free – it requires lots of hard work and dedication, but we fully recognise that it is difficult to get started on a new exercise regime, particularly after such a long and cold winter as the one that we have just experienced. By following our simple steps, you will soon find that your fitness is increasing, your mood is improving, and your wellness is significantly altered.
- Getting outdoors is the best thing that you can do. Even if it’s just walking rather than taking the bus, going for a gentle stroll or pottering around the garden, you will be unconsciously taking exercise, letting your blood flow increase and improving your health. Being active all day is even better for you than taking one short burst of structured exercise during the day.
- Joining a sports club can be a really wise step. Spending time with other people who are exercising at the same time, and sometimes relying on you to turn up and plan, can be really motivating. You’re also likely to make new friends and the competitive spirit of clubs can also help to push you towards being the best that you can be.
- Start slowly, rather than going at it full pelt and ending up injuring yourself. Fitness has to be built up gradually and the saying is quite literally true, that you should not try to run before you can walk!
