Getting into a fitness routine

  • Are you starting your fitness journey, or getting back into it after a break?

    Here are a few things you might notice when you dust off those sneakers.

    • When you start out it may be a little uncomfortable. This is your muscles adapting to new movement.
      Exercise will make you feel good. This is because exercise releases endorphins – the body’s natural feel-good chemical.
    • You might get sore muscles for the first 24-48 hours. This is normal and will ease over time.
    • As you’re burning more calories your body will crave more food. Ensure you eat plenty of nutritious foods, including protein to aid muscle recovery.
    • You may feel more tired than normal. Get a good nights sleep to help your body reap the benefits of exercise.
    • Choose exercise you enjoy and start with some short term goals. As you build up fitness and strength your confidence will grow.
    • Fuel your body well and get the right amount of rest and recovery.
