I totally agree with the fact that it is quite cumbersome to get back to the workout routine after a long or even short break. One has to drag himself and take out time from the busy schedules of work and family obligations. However, it's never too late to take a startup and get in shape again. It is imperative to take every day as an opportunity to improve and to make the most of it to keep our minds strong and clear.

"FITNESS: IF IT CAME IN A BOTTLE, EVERYONE WOULD HAVE A GREAT BODY."—CHER

According to a survey, most of the German population worked out a couple of times a month. 18.6 percent of women and 21.9 percent of men worked out several times a week.

Healthy Habits

Along with workouts, other healthy habits need to be followed, which include avoiding junk food, proper and sound sleep, reduction of stress, being mentally peaceful, and foremost of all staying motivated!

Workout Routine

One must follow a motivated and consistent workup routine.No matter what the circumstances are one must adhere to fitness routines without any dips and cheat days.

Workout getup

Just to give oneself a good startup one must invest in good sneakers and workout kits, which may boost the motivation levels.

Around 18.6% of respondents in South Korea purchased sports and fitness wear twice a year.

Try to stay motivated and never give up.

Workout Frequency

One should be careful about the workout intensity as the body takes time to come to the level of exercise one used to do in the past. Muscles get fatigued initially and get momentum with the passage of time and regular workouts, So one should not jump into a six-day weekly workout whilst should focus on once or twice a week initially and take it slow without getting overwhelmed, then keep the pace up to four to six days a week.

Safety measures

Make sure to get warm-ups before getting into hard exercises. When we work out after a gap the muscles get cramps and muscles can’t fire if they are weak. According to Chief Curriculum Lead and New York Instructor, Matt Nolan,

“Improved muscular efficiency will lead to fewer injuries and increased stamina. Plyometrics will help so you can decrease your overall training amount and improve form, balance, and running economy.”

Try To Be Fit And Active Everytime

Fitness should be inculcated in everyday routine as well. One should try to be active by using a staircase instead of Lifts and elevators, strolling after meals instead of sitting idly, by getting some extra steps by parking cars away from the destination. The days full of inactivity can be detrimental to one's health. So be active all the time and never give yourself any excuses!

Workout Benefits

Undoubtedly exercise and workouts have drastic impacts on health. It not only brings the body in shape and controls weight, but it reduces the risk of several heart and mental diseases as well. Several nutritional supplements are available in the market to give your body a healthy startup full of all necessary vitamins and minerals.

According to a study in 2016, 45% of Americans said that nutritional supplements help them stay healthy.

Conclusion

The importance of the workout is undeniable in this new era of sedentary lifestyles. It is imperative to follow an active and healthy lifestyle to keep the doctor away. Several organizations are concerned about the health of their employees and have provided a gym facility on their premises.
