How To Get Fitness Back On Track

Don't Jump In Too Fast

In fitness, enthusiasm can only carry a person so far. It takes time for the body to adjust to a specific fitness routine, and measurable improvements are the result of sustained effort. For example, let's say you have chosen running as your activity of choice. It is far better to start by successfully jogging one-quarter or one-half of a mile and then getting off of the track or treadmill for the day than it is to suffer and strain to do a full mile. Over time, your endurance will increase to the point where you can do a full mile without an incredible amount of struggle. The lesson to be learned here is don't jump in too fast. Start with less and allow your body to adjust to your new exercise routine, then work to slowly and steadily increase your workload. Sometimes, less is more. This will help to fuel motivation, and your body will thank you for it as well.
