How to stay motivated this summer
What is it that encourages you to exercise? Is this a release of stress after a harsh day? A social opportunity to combine with friends before your summer vacation or to achieve fitness/weight loss goal?
If this is the latter, you will be a bit short on time because we are approaching school holidays between summer and people are already roaming all over the world for their transit.
On the topic of holidays and other types of social gatherings, statistics show that in the summer months, people’s social interaction increases. Generally, various activities such as festivals, leisure and external events begin to increase in the summer, as well as traveling as well as social interactions in the winter period and – we dare to say – absence from the gym!
This realistic change in this behavior that shows that people exercise less work from June to September, is tolerated here at any time by evidence on fitness. During these months we observe a 6 % reduction in club attendance in the UK.
So, what can be done to encourage you to continue your fitness journey during the summer so that the physical benefit you have benefited in the rest of the year is not wasted?
Care
While in the summer months, it may not be ‘complete steam forward’ in the fitness routines, maintaining what you have already achieved has a goal in itself. This ensures that you are not taking any backward steps and you can ‘choose from where you have gone’.
As the time of social interaction increases, there is less time to exercise. Maintaining your progress can come in different forms. One of the solutions is to reduce the time or frequency of your sessions every week. You are still moving, just to exercise in your better social routine. The second is to start first or go later.
At any time, with fitness you are going to a club where your gym is open 24/7, wind and you are fresh water stations to keep you hydrate – anyway, we are at your convenience.
If I have time, not just stimulation?
It may not be just a burning desire to exercise now – our British weather is not impressive at all! In addition to the physical benefits of exercise, what is the stimulus? If you do not point to a festival or outdoor collector, exercising with a friend gives the opportunity to catch and make social. You can work as a stimulus of each other. The friendly and encouraging environment in our clubs welcomes everyone. Offer the opportunity to create new bonds.
Going for coffee after exercise is some good and refreshing, which can allow post workout debrus. At any time the fitness clubs are deliberately located at busy places, so your ketchup is easier with transport links and local businesses.
Seeing friendly faces, making new friendship and increasing current people is a motivator we need in everyday life, so let us work like your driver this summer-however, we are your community.
A great British summer of the game
Two major summer events in Wimbledon and Open have ended this weekend in tennis and golf games, respectively. Add the Olympics into the mixture (starting this Friday), as well as add the recently completed euros in Germany, and is a row of sports to impress you. People competing on their chosen game is an increase in participation, so if you are not already doing so, simply engaging with these events can work as a stimulus to consider any kind of exercise this summer.
It doesn’t matter what your qualifications or goals are here, we want to help you encourage you to participate and your local fitness club is present to help you achieve your goals. Looking to be very best? There are ways to train your body when playing and competing when you give you the maximum benefits. Looking to be merely participating? There are also exercises to facilitate it.
Our fully trained fitness coaches can create a Baspock fitness plan that will support your goals, whether it is to expand your body to play your chosen game or have a balanced plan to improve cardio, tining and endurance. With a friendly and accessible nature, our coaches are trained to help and encourage your current fitness level. However, we are your coaching.
We are fitness at any time – let’s be dynamic together.
