Getting Back in Shape After a Workout Break: The CrossFit Newmarket Central Way
It happens to the best of us. You get swamped with work, go on vacation, fall sick, or lose the workout mojo for no apparent reason. The point is, life gets in the way and suddenly, you find yourself on a workout break. The days turn into weeks, weeks into months and before you know it, you’re way off the fitness track. But don’t fret! CrossFit Newmarket Central has a friendly, practical approach to getting you back on your feet.
Accept Where You Are
The first step to getting back on track is acknowledging where you are. Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t pick up where you left off. Instead, accept your current strengths and limitations as a starting point. Remember, CrossFit is not about being the best. It’s about being better than you were yesterday.
Start Slow
The second step is to start slow. Make sure your first few sessions back are lighter in intensity and volume. This is to reduce the risk of injury and to build a foundation. Listen to your body and progress at a pace that feels right for you. Remember, fitness is a journey, not a race.
Stay Consistent
The third step is consistency. Aiming for a certain number of sessions a week is a good starting point. The goal is to make workout a habit. Consistency beats intensity every time. Don’t worry about how much you’re doing—worry about how often you’re doing it.
Get Support
Our fourth and final step is to seek support. The coaches at CrossFit Newmarket Central are here to help you. We can work together to design a comeback plan that fits your level and goal. You don’t have to do this alone. With us, you have a community that supports you.
Final Thoughts
Getting back on track after a break in your workout routine may seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. With acceptance, a slowed pace, consistency, and the right support system, you’ll find your footing again in no time.
