It’s a rather long time since January 1st and many people will have seen their New Year’s resolutions come and go since then. Agreeing to go to a fitness class with a friend or even organising a time to jog around the block feels like a commitment we can’t break. It’s easy to forget what the post-workout highs feel like when you haven’t exercised for a while, so jot down three words to describe your mood straight after breaking a sweat. Pull the list out the next time you’re thinking about skipping the gym and all those emotions will come flooding back.

While it’s important to know that with a bit of effort you will be able to achieve your goal, it’s also vital not to make it too easy. It’s all well and good having a goal and knowing that with some hard work you can achieve it, but you need more specifics. You don’t necessarily need to approach it in the same way, but it’s good to know how they did it and even ask questions on what worked well and what didn’t. It’s not really about the finish line, but getting in better shape along the way, boosting confidence and getting that huge sense of achievement.

Exercise is supposed to make you feel better and in the long-term it should, but even when you’re doing your body good it can feel painful at first. Drinking plenty of water will help to flush out the waste products and toxins that were released as the muscles broke down during exercise. Eating enough protein both before and exercise will help to build and maintain muscle and therefore help to prevent post-workout pain. If you’re coming to terms with a new workout routine and are experiencing pain in the aftermath of each session, it’s worth exploring these methods to see which ones work for you.

Simply take the time to start concentrating on your breathing instead; this is much more likely to help you find a bit of mental peace and quiet for a few short moments. Spa-hotels.ie says that the most powerful tools that you can find in meditation are the powerful mindful meditation techniques out there. If you don’t find the above to be a good choice for you personally (we are all different) then start inhaling through one nostril, and then exhaling through the other nostril. If you would like to enjoy a more comfortable breathing experience, then you should definitely try inhaling through the nostril and then exhaling through the others: it’s very therapeutic and immensely relaxing.
