Despite theoretically having “more time” due to Lockdown, getting out the door for our daily activity can be more challenging than wrestling an X-box from a teenager during (ah-hem) home schooling hours!

Here are 6 tips to help you get out and get active…

Put your daily activity in your calendar as a meeting, it IS a meeting - with yourself. And that hour in the fresh air is a sure-fire way of bringing your best-self back to the next webinar or to those you are sharing your physical space with.
Set yourself mini-challenges over a week. For example, try to cover more distance in the 60 minutes suggested. You’ll be less inclined to miss a day!
Connect with others (virtually) to share great routes that are less busy, scenic and enjoyable Perhaps set virtual challenges with your online pals too. Try Strava if you’re not already signed up. The free version is brilliant, find it in your app store, and no I’m not on commission!
It might be raining but you probably have an umbrella or jacket! Get out anyway. Fresh air and an elevated heart rate WILL wake up those endorphins and you’ll be much more productive on your return.
Put your running gear/walking shoes etc beside your toothbrush the night before, nothing like a visual reminder first thing in the morning to nag you into action!
Keep track of the time of day that you feel LEAST energised for a few days and decide to set your activity time to coincide if possible. It’s better than falling asleep in yet another Zoom meeting!
