Embracing A More Active Lifestyle

Many of us find that we start new training or exercise regimes with bags of energy and enthusiasm only to lose motivation a few weeks or months later. If you struggle to stay motivated, don’t give up. In this guide, we’ll explore some innovative ideas to help you embrace a more active lifestyle. Try New Activities

Make Working Out Fun

When we hear the word ‘exercise,’ we often think about lifting weights in the gym or pounding pavements. While these activities are very popular, not everyone enjoys jogging, running and going to the gym. The good news is that there are endless ways to get fit and reap the rewards of moving your body. If you find exercise boring, or you’re getting tired of the same old training sessions, try and mix things up. Have fun, take inspiration from the sports you love to watch or follow and get friends and family involved.

For many people, exercise can feel like a chore. If this sounds familiar, it’s a great idea to be proactive in making workouts fun. Invite others to join you for hikes, runs, gym sessions or games of tennis. Create playlists and listen to music and enjoy a change of scenery.

If you’re an avid fan of rugby and like to keep up to date with the latest Scottish Rugby news, why not join a local club. Or see if there’re any teams in your area that run sessions for beginners? If you watch tennis, can’t get enough of the Masters, or the football World Cup, give these sports a go yourself. From dancing and swimming to boxing, cycling and kayaking, there are myriad of activities you can try.

Get out into the great outdoors if you

spend most of your time exercising indoors. Or go to a lido or stretch your legs on the golf course.
