Surviving the First Week Back in the Gym

December 27, 2022 By Dave DePew Leave a Comment

Starting a new exercise routine can be challenging, but it’s also an exciting opportunity to improve your health and well-being. Here are a few tips for surviving your first week of working out:

  1. Start slowly. It’s important to ease into a new exercise routine to avoid injury and burnout. Try to start with shorter, less intense workouts and gradually increase the intensity and duration over time.
  2. Find a workout buddy. Having a friend to exercise with can make workouts more enjoyable and help you stay motivated.
  3. Set achievable goals. It’s important to set realistic goals for yourself to avoid disappointment. Start with small, achievable goals and gradually increase them as you get more comfortable with your workouts.
  4. Mix it up. Try different types of workouts to keep things interesting and to work different muscle groups. This can also help prevent boredom and keep you motivated.
  5. Stay hydrated. Make sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workouts to help keep your body hydrated and performing at its best.
  6. Don’t get discouraged. It’s normal to have good days and bad days when starting a new exercise routine. Don’t get discouraged if you have a less-than-perfect workout or if you miss a day. Just get back on track and keep going.
  7. Celebrate your successes. It’s important to recognize and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem. This can help you stay motivated and continue working towards your fitness goals.
