Many of us start the fitness routine as a New Year resolution either on Diwali time or in January, but how many of us are truly following this for longer? The numbers of nods in yes are less, however if you are adamant to be fitness freak and want to take one step ahead to reset your exercise routine then what is the best month then September to start again?
Fitness Expert recommends September as the month to start the fitness regime. Here is why it is so…
Weather is pretty perfect – One such reason for starting a fitness regime in September is the warm and sunny weather which helps to keep us energetic. Though in India we have a rainy season in September, but we have less than usual rain in this season and still we can start our exercise resolutions.
Diwali Countdown – In India we have the biggest festival Diwali, and who does not like to look fit and gorgeous on the occasion? So it is best that before Diwali festivities we start exercise and some diet routine.
Less Distraction – After having a social gathering in summer, some parties, vacation and weddings, we are back to our routine. Hence, having a routine makes it easier for us to schedule fitness into our diaries. Even in India, in September we have less social gathering and functions so no more distractions to break our routine till Diwali time.
16 weeks for December Party – In India every festival is celebrated with lots of zeal and zest. December’s party is one such festival which attracts us with its own color and festivities. We have one more chance to present ourselves damn pretty and bold in western outfits at the 31st night party. So, let’s get started with some fitness belts and move the body.
Better January – One more reason to start exercising in September is that when winter is set in January then you will have a strong foundation of exercise and diet so that it will be way better to involve yourself in some advanced version of your fitness regime.
We hope you liked the benefits of starting fitness in September. In the UK, people celebrate 22nd September as National Fitness Day.
Let’s know how we can plan to indulge in fitness.
The first and foremost thing to remember is do not start at one go but have one step at a time and also you can choose kind of challenges such as 30 days kick-start, 30 days abs challenge or anything of your choice.
The second important point is to stick to some printed program or schedule, so it will be easier for you to count your day-by-day progress and in this way you are more likely to avoid a day off.
The third point is important for those who are lazy bum to avoid or skip workout sessions. Keep a diary and jot down your feelings post workout, and you will notice high endorphins which will help you to stick to the routine without any miss.
The fourth point is most important when you set some goal to achieve out of your workout session. Keep in mind that the more realistic the goal means the more likely to keep going with your diet and workout routine. So be real while setting some goals.
The fifth point is try to increase your water intake and focus on a healthy diet as you have enjoyed enough with lots of freebies and food in your summer vacation and wedding. Increase the fresh, healthy, home cooked and seasonal food in your diet.
The sixth point to remember is that there is no compulsion to join a gym or involve a fancy diet in your meal, but you can plan your diet and workout with whatever you are consuming and doing in day-to-day life. And you are ready to keep yourself healthy.
The seventh point is linked to your sleeping habit. It is essential that you should have a healthy sleeping pattern and routine which will be beneficial in your fitness journey. Lack of sleep will cause fatigue and low energy.
The eighth point is to live in the present. After planning your workout and diet, in case you have missed one or two days, or you have some ice cream treat then do not panic and keep this guilt in the past and get back to routine again.
The ninth point is celebrating your achievement. Either you stick to routine for a longer period or you have some kg loss or you have inch loss. Celebrating or treating yourself will keep you going with your fitness routine and that will push harder to take on new challenges.
The tenth point is your choice to have a fitness buddy or not. However, having an exercise partner will help you to keep motivated to continue your workout routine, and also it will be fun to take challenges with each other. Studies show you will work out longer when you have a pal along.
We hope this will tingle you and your guts to kick-start your fitness journey and the tips will help you to plan your session in a good manner so that there are more chances you continue it without fail.
