Never Skip the Gym Again with these tips

As we age, staying fit can feel like more of a burden and less enjoyable than it used to be. This is often due to various factors such as decreased energy, joint pain, and a lack of motivation. However, it's crucial, especially for busy professionals, to maintain a fitness regimen to stay productive and healthy.

Physical activity is vital for overall health and well-being, especially for those in leadership positions. If you're a busy professional aiming for success but struggle to prioritise self-improvement, how can you effectively lead your team to success?

Exercise helps to preserve strength, flexibility, coordination, cognition, and balance as we age. It can also lower the risk of chronic diseases, improve sleep, and uplift mood. Yet, as we grow older, staying active becomes more challenging. Joint discomfort, decreased energy, and motivation can make exercise feel like a chore.

The key to enjoying fitness again is to find activities you genuinely like. Instead of sticking to the same routine, try new things. At STRIVE®, our Personal Coaches emphasise consistency for results. That's why we offer diverse range of fitness services delivered covering everything from weightlifting to running, and rehabilitation programs. Our members often report being more active and consistent than they were in their youth, with many even participating in events they never thought they would again.

Additionally, it's crucial to focus on exercises that are manageable and sustainable. Choose activities within your fitness level and don't rush the process. Short bursts of activity can be just as effective, and consider exercising with a friend or joining a class for added motivation. New STRIVE® members often refer friends, impressed by the enjoyable training experience they want to share.

While fitness may seem daunting as we age, it can still be enjoyable and integral to daily life. By embracing enjoyable and sustainable activities, exercise can remain a fulfilling part of your routine.
