Since lockdown, I've struggled for motivation to train at home. Part of the problem, I realised, was a lack of structure and intensity of exercises. Here I share a few thoughts on getting more out of yur home workout.

The problem Lockdown has presented a physical challenge. I no longer have access to my preferred workout methods. I'm a pretty motivated individual but I have to admit that I struggled first with motivation, then with just doing any half arsed stuff that entered my head. I decided to set myself a ch...

Getting my daily dose of exercise. Some of the benefits of aerobic activity:

• Improves cardiovascular health and blood markers
• Reduces asthma and other health risks
• Reduces chronic pain
• Aids sleep
• Regulates weight
• Strengthens immune system
• Boosts brain power and mood
• Increased Stamina fitness and strength

Aerobic activity comes in many shapes and forms. As well as the type of exercise, intensity and
duration are factors that will influence the amount of benefit you will get in each area.
Duration and intensity are inextricably linked. As duration goes up, intensity comes down.
At the two ends of that scale we find two popular training methods HIIT (High Intensity Interval
Training) and LISS (Low Intensity Steady State). I won’t go into detail here about the protocols of
each, but I will say that neither are superior to the other. They each have their value and may be
more suited to particular goals and training preferences.
Whatever you choose to do, make it something that you enjoy, feel most benefit from and can keep
doing regularly.

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now"

How many times have you put off the gym, run, ride or dietary changes? Where would you be now if you'd just done it? Where will you be in 6 or even 12 months if you don't do it now?

So, are New Years resolutions a good thing? Yes, why not, but don't let it be just a January thing.

It's always good to reflect on where you are and where you want to be, but stop waiting for the perfect moment before you start. That moment is always now.

Having some time out for yourself is one of the best things you can do for your health.

Use your day off to relax, have an adventure, try something new, or just switch off from the usual life admin and work.

Spend it doing something you love, in the sunny outdoors, get active, or with the people that make you happy. .
If you are lucky, or greedy like me, you can combine it all.

Great day out on the bike, enjoyed every moment doing something I thought would never be possible again this time last year.

My fitness might not be where I'd like it to be, but I'm enjoying the journey back.
