From changing the time you work out to creating the right kind of environment, these hacks are guaranteed to help get you into the swing of things.
We all know strength training is good for us. Not only does it physically make you stronger, but research shows regular strength training can boost your metabolism, improve your mental health and even extend your lifespan. But committing to a regular workout – and making strength training a habit – is easier said than done.
We know how it goes – you tell yourself you’re going to “exercise more”, but before you’ve set foot in the gym a last-minute deadline crops up at work or your childcare plans fall through. You’re left feeling exhausted, unmotivated and totally fed up. Sometimes, life just gets in the way.
So, how can you prioritise strength training so it becomes a non-negotiable part of your weekly routine? And if you miss a session (or two) how can you get back on track? We asked sports psychologists, personal trainers and fitness fanatics for their top tips on creating a strength training routine we can stick to.
