My Fitness Routine

Hi!

I thought I would do a slightly different kind of post today!

We are all aware the being physically active is really important for us, keeping your body healthy and fit as well as helping with your mental well-being.

I've always been quite physically active, I used to be a competitive swimmer and I now work in exercise so I like to try and keep myself fit and healthy. Earlier this year I was in a really good routine of 3 gym sessions a week but totally fell off the wagon in the Summer. If I'm honest and this will probably sound insane to some people but I found I really started to miss the routine and the exercise. 

In November I noticed my local leisure centre had an offer which they named 'Christmas Pudding' where by you paid £15 for the last 6 weeks of 2015 so I signed up and lets be honest it absolutely killed me but I managed to get back into my routine before I knew it.
I go to the gym twice a week and I do cardio with a mixture of weights and body weight exercises as well as a spinning class once of week which I am really enjoying.

It's strange especially at this time of the year I rejoined the gym or more specifically January people tend to assume that you exercise to lose weight etc as its when a lot of people tend to make new years resolutions. A few people have recently asked me why I exercise and basically I find it a great way to relieve stress and it makes me feel better not only in myself but also about myself. I exercise to keep fit and to try and stay as healthy as I can. It is so easy to mistreat your body, at the end of the day we only get one and we may as well look after it the best way we can. (sorry if that's a bit preachy!) I think it's important that you find an activity you enjoy as it's easy to keep to a routine and that doesn't even have to involve the gym at all, there are plenty of other activities like gardening and walking that can be just as beneficial. There are also a range of fitness gurus on YouTube these days.
