Getting Back Into a Workout Routine

Whether you’re recovering from an illness or injury—or you’re just coming back from a personal hiatus—it can be intimidating to resume a workout routine. Getting back into a strict regimen can be difficult, but it’s important to try to get back the progress you may have lost during that time.

Here’s some advice for getting back into exercising:

✅Start small — Don’t try to jump back into the same place you were at before your break. Start with a lower weight and less time on your run, and build back up to your max.

✅Start fresh — Sometimes returning to the same gym or workout type after a long time away can feel like a regression. Try something you’ve never done before, for example, one of our CrossFit drop-in classes!

✅Be patient with yourself — Don’t expect to see results right away after you start working out again. Your body won’t be the same as it was before the break, and that’s okay. Give yourself some time.
