How to Lose Weight & Get Fit During Lockdown 2.0

How to Lose Weight & Get Fit During Lockdown 2.0In this episode of the Conquer Food Podcast, Craig discusses what has been happening lately as well as going over how you can maintain fitness during lockdown 2.0.Take a moment to look forward to yourself just before Christmas where you have put on a bit of weight during the lockdown, you've been eating unhealthier, stopped exercising and your immune system starts to weaken due to this. All this can lead to you becoming more fearful of COVID and the possibility of you getting it due to your body not being able to handle it as well as you could have if you stay fit, and this is why staying fit during this lockdown is so important.Here are some things Craig thinks you should bear in mind during this lockdown:The first thing is to set yourself a goal to achieve during this lockdown so you have something to strive for and to keep yourself motivated to eat healthily and keep exercising. These goals could be completely anything from walking a certain amount a week or burn a specific amount of calories or maybe aim to improve the amount of sleep you get, it can be absolutely anything just make sure it's specific!Look at your goal and create a routine to give yourself which can allow you a better chance of reaching your goal. Things that can be involved in your routine can be an earlier bedtime and an earlier wake-up time but make sure you're getting enough sleep when you eat and to make sure that you're spending quality time with your family having a good and real conversation.Another important thing to do is to keep things varied. Don't do the same thing you always do, whether it a walking route or the exact same workout. As once you get used to what you've been doing then you should change it otherwise you will get to a point where you'll stop improving due to your body not working hard enough.The final advice is to track your progress, no matter how you do it. There are loads of great apps that allow you to track your progress and how you're getting on and improving and you can even write it down in a diary of how workouts feel. Are workouts getting easier? Are you running faster? Further? How you could improve make sure you track it as it allows you to maintain motivation when you're seeing improvement, however it does take time for improvement to begin so it's important to stay motivated before the progression truly begins.Make sure to keep us updated on progress, what works for you and what doesn't!Keep an eye out for the virtual training sessions ran by Ash during this lockdown on our social media pages!
