Headline: UNCAPTIONED: How to return to your fitness routine post-holiday

Caption: How to return to your fitness routine post-holiday. Rob Jackson, who is a qualified personal trainer with Insure4Sport, has shared how you can get back on top of your fitness. Remind yourself of the benefits. Remember the impact that exercise will have on the rest of your day. Prepare and plan "Don't just tell yourself that you're going back to the gym - that will lead you to put it off until tomorrow, then the next day and then suddenly it's Sunday and you've not been all week.” Take action, by mapping out a clear plan for the week ahead and decide on which days you are going to commit to and how many days you aim to go. Make it fun If you don't have a favourite exercise, look for other areas of enjoyment. “Invite a friend to join you or listen to an episode of your favourite podcast while you train." Set goals Aimless exercising can be demotivating, set yourself some new, achievable goals to work towards. “Set yourself some new targets to give your training and nutrition a new purpose. This could be a performance-related goal or trying to learn something new.” Don't panic Don’t be worried that you might struggle once you return to your fitness routine, your first day back, it will be like you never left. "It's important to remember that it takes more than just one or two weeks to lose any progress that you've made.” “So don't be disheartened by having a short break from your normal exercise routine. After a week or two off training, you might feel a little weaker or unfit, but this is more psychological than physical.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
