07.01.2022 Back to the gym tips With Melbourne Metro gyms reopening tomorrow, we thought we would share some advice to make your return go as smoothly as possible: 1) Fresh Start... See your return to the gym as a fresh start rather than trying to make up for lost time rushing back to where you left off is more likely to cause an injury 2) Prioritise technique Make technique your priority; not lifting heavy. Have a professional give you feedback where possible 3) Be patient Start off with half to two thirds of the weight load that you left off and don’t do repetitions to fatigue (leave 3-4 reps in the tank) 4) Trust your body Muscle memory will kick in and you will build strength quicker than as if you were starting from scratch just give it time 5) Post exercise soreness It is okay to be sore! Expect to feel some delayed onset muscles soreness (DOMS) after the first few trips back. Warming up and cooling down adequately can help as can easing back to the gym with a moderate workload. 6) Don’t forget recovery Allow adequate recovery days between sessions and use gentle cardio eg. Walk/ swim /easy cycle to stimulate blood flow through your muscles on these days 7) Plan your routine If you are not in the habit of regular exercise, be realistic about your start back schedule and don’t over commit. Prepare ahead of time, leaving clothes and snacks/ meals ready so that you have no excuses! Where possible team up with a gym buddy to keep you both accountable. 8) Fuel adequately Ensure you are adequately hydrated before and after exercise. Eating the right foods at the right time around training will support your body in building muscle and recovering for the next session
