Getting back into shape after the holidays: some tips for a healthy start

Physical activities for a new start

Walking and Jogging: Easy and versatile, both help burn calories without straining the body. 30-40 minutes a day are sufficient to activate your metabolism.

Yoga and Pilates: Perfect for restoring balance after excessive eating, they improve flexibility, breathing and stress management.

Moderate Strength Training: Using light weights or the body weight, they promote muscle tone and support posture.

HIIT: Brief sessions at high intensity, ideal for those who want a dynamic workout and already have a basic training level.

The benefits of a gradual approach

Listening to your body is important: resuming exercise too intensely can cause muscle pain or injuries.

Beginning with light exercises, gradually increasing the intensity, is the best way to ensure constancy and lasting results.

How to deal with post-workout pain and annoyances

After a period of inactivity, it is normal to feel muscle or joint pain. In these situations, Dispotech products are excellent allies:

  • Easy Ice: Effective in reducing swelling and giving immediate relief to fatigued muscles.

  • Dispo Hot: Ideal for relaxing contracted muscles and promoting a rapid recovery.

Tips for maintaining a high level of constancy

In order not to lose your motivation:

  1. Set realistic and achievable goals.
  2. Search for an exercise you like, so it becomes a pleasure and not an obligation.
  3. Keep a diary of your progress to monitor improvements over time.

Getting back into shape is not only a question of aesthetics, but one of health and well-being.
