You've set your goals. Trained hard. Achieved some of it. And then you took a rest. Now the rest took longer than expected and suddenly it hit you. You became the old self who once wanted to go fit. Whatever the reason of that extended period of rest, which, may vary from each person - it may be because of injury, getting busy from work, a hectic schedule which squeezing time to work out was hard or giving birth, you just couldn't go back the way you wanted it. Yes, we all experience this at some point and getting back on track is easier said than done. So how can you cope up on this?
Here are some tips to take off that rustiness you've incurred during hiatus.
1. When going back, you need to consult a physician so you will know which one fits your system and not. Safety first before anything else. There might be some exercise programs that should be avoided.
2. Go train as a beginner again! You can't go back to where you left off thinking that, "Hey, I've done this before, I can do it again!" In most cases you won't be able to do it or if ever you did, it may lead to serious injury. Doing too much too soon can harm you than do good.
3. Take it slowly, be patient, it's not a race, you got to think of it as a lifestyle and not just targeting for a specific time only.
4. Don't impose high demand to yourself, it will only frustrate you if things don't go well in your timeframe which will cause loss of desire to workout.
5. Give your body time to re-adapt. Start on lighter weights and cardio training. Build yourself up gradually. Eventually your body will catch up what you've had before.
6. If you've just recovered from injury and wanted to return, choose one exercise that will painlessly affect your rehabilitating muscle.
7. Enjoy the time when you're working out.
