Hey there, Masters Athlete,
Age is just a number, they say, but we understand that it’s often easier said than done. Many Masters Athletes find that life has a sneaky way of derailing their CrossFit journeys. But guess what? You can always get back on track. Today, we're diving into some tips to help you re-establish your fitness habits effectively and sustainably. Plus, we've got a special announcement: Bolder Beginnings, a 30-day program custom-built for athletes like you!
What's Holding You Back? Identify Your Obstacles
Before we go any further, let’s identify what got in the way. Was it a busy work schedule, family commitments, or perhaps a minor injury? Knowing what obstructed you can help craft a better, more durable plan moving forward.
How to Re-establish Your Fitness Regimen
1. Start Small:
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will your fitness. Begin with manageable tasks. For example, you don’t have to complete a WOD on day one. Just getting your Nanos on and going for a walk can be a great first step.
2. Make it Obvious:
Place your workout gear near your bed or set reminders. Make it so obvious that you can't ignore it.
3. Make it Attractive:
Pair your workouts with something you enjoy. Listen to a podcast (like I do), or reward yourself with something small post-workout. The idea is to make the habit more appealing to stick with.
4. Make it Easy:
Simplify your workout routines initially. You don’t have jump into the most complex WODs straight away. Get your body moving first, and then gradually intensify.
5. Make it Satisfying:
Celebrate your wins, no matter how small. Tracked a workout? Celebrate. Moved more than last week? Celebrate. These small celebrations can be the difference between quitting and sticking with it.
