Getting back to it - Whatever that means to you.. keep things really simple
Having a simple and clear goal or goals is key to building that initial routine and discipline.
As a wise man once told me “CLARITY IS KING…”
Whether it comes to training or nutrition, breaking down your goal with clarity will allow you to become much more adherent to the cause, therefore the desired outcome will be easier to obtain.
An example being, when it comes to starting up your training again define clear days available. As I ask my clients “If you can guarantee a minimum amount of training days you can attend, not the amount you want, the bare minimum…that is where we start”
From there you can suitably select a training split to suit.
Full body days
Push and pull, legs
Upper and lower
Adversely when tightening up on your nutrition keep the goals simple again, realistic goals are you best friend here too
Get into a routine of prepping food, opposed to getting last minute bits when in a rush. Theses will be much more nutritionally beneficial meals as you would have put a little thought into it
Rather than setting restrictions on calorie consumption or removing entire areas of your diet, look at what you can make small improvements on i.e water intake, fruit and veg consumption, not living off coffee etc.
Make sure you getting enough sleep, 7.5-9hrs for those who are relatively active and training - sleep is essential and often neglected
From here you can look to go into more detail once a few simple steps have been achieved
Remember, clarity is king.
