Preparing for lockdown… again?
As the COVID 19 Pandemic hits its second spike it is imperative that we prepare ourselves for lockdown.
If you are worried anxious and stressing about your health then get in touch we can help you improve this very quickly.
All of our clients are still enjoying their weekly online coaching and accountability sessions. We have limited availability so if you need help with your health and fitness then please get in touch.
For those unable to do coaching, but are still in need of advice my best suggestion is that you split your day into 3 parts. Morning, day and evening. For each part you should have a specific routine. It’s really important that we have a routine each day to keep healthy and happy.
Morning routine
Each morning, as a priority, we must take care of our health fundamentals.
1- Drink water.
Have 1-2pints within the first 30 mins of waking up.
2- Prepare some healthy meals
It’s important to prepare health, nutritious food for the day ahead. Not sure what to cook? Then use our cooking and cuisine videos from our YouTube channel.
As a starter make some broccoli and cauliflower soup
For main meal let’s have some Spanish ‘style’ chicken.
3- Next up enjoy some movement
First up some mobility
Then a quick way to get the heart rate up is doing either some step ups or some jumping jacks
Now for some dynamic stretching
Rear foot elevated hip stretch do 10 on each leg.
Hip thrust again do 10
Bird dog do 5 on each side
Main circuit.
1- squats
2-push ups
3- crunches
4- sky divers
5- burpees
Beginners do 5 of each exercise resting 30 secs between each set and do 3-5 rounds
Intermediate do 10 of each exercise then rest 60 secs do 3-5 rounds
Advanced
Do 15 of each exercise and 5 rounds as fast as possible.
Once you have finished then follow this cool down routine
A sample training week could be,
Day 1 full routine.
Day 2 warm up, activation and cool down exercises together.
Day 3 a long walk outside.
Then repeat…
4 – Get consistent sleep
By getting in a good routine of going to bed and getting up at the same time… being hydrated, eating healthy foods and exercising regularly all improve sleep as do switching digital appliances off 30-60 mins before sleep time, reading a book or listening to a sleep hypnosis app. Your pre bed routine is an important factor in the quality of the sleep you get.
Ok something for everyone above and no excuse for not doing some for of movement and taking care of your healthy each day.
Being healthy is of the upmost importance right now.
Stay strong
