5 Self-Care Practices To Optimize Your Workout Routine

April 28, 2020 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

In the pursuit of wellness, many focus solely on rigorous exercise. However, those who constantly push their bodies to its limit are at higher risk for serious injury, heightened stress and a dwindling desire to reach their fitness goals. True wellness includes a healthy mind in addition to a healthy body. You can achieve more and feel better by adding self-care to your workout regime each week. Check out these ideas to help get you started.

Improve Your Diet

Unhealthy eating habits can lead to serious problems like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease. It can also contribute to obesity and malnutrition. No exercise plan is complete without a healthy and well-balanced diet. Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about your body’s unique needs and they can create a diet plan just for you. You might also consider using dietary supplements. Supplement manufacturers offer a large variety of products that can bolster your immune system, accelerate weight loss and maintain healthy levels of necessary vitamins.

Relieve Muscle Tension With Massage

Muscle soreness is an all-too-common ailment for those who work out regularly. Skeletal muscle fibers must break down before they can recover and grow larger. This process can be painful as overworked muscles become tender. Massage therapy can relieve muscle tension, increase circulation and reduce pain caused by high-intensity exercise. With massage, oxygen and nutrients can more easily reach damaged muscle fibers, promoting quicker healing. Massage can also prevent injury by decreasing inflammation. In addition to the benefits for your body, massage therapy can relieve stress and help you relax as the feeling of pressure on sore muscles can be very soothing.

Make Time for Rest and Recovery

Many believe that progress is only made when the body is actively working out, but the truth is the exact opposite. Progress and growth take place during times of rest. Your muscles need recovery time to heal and grow stronger, and sleep is the best time for recovery. Take care of your body by sleeping at least seven hours each night. This prevents fatigue and can make your workouts more effective. However, getting a good night’s sleep can be difficult and seem unattainable. If sleep eludes you, consider adding private label supplements to your evening routine. Sleep supplements can help your body and mind relax, making the most of your recovery time and leaving you with more energy in the morning.

Practice Mindfulness

It’s easy to lose focus while exercising, especially when you are tired or carry a lot of stress from issues at work or at home. Turning your thoughts inward using mindfulness is a helpful concentration skill. Mindfulness is the act of letting go of distractions and focusing on yourself. It allows you to focus on your body’s movements and on its response to physical activity. This increased awareness can prevent you from pushing past your breaking point and can save you from injury or fatigue. Purposeful introspection can also foster a positive body image and increase your motivation to work out. By reflecting on the good things about yourself, you can build self-confidence and reduce negative self-talk that perpetuates unhealthy habits.

Have Fun and Add Variety

Endless repetition can make weekly exercise boring. The monotony can decrease your desire to work out and prevent you from meeting your fitness goals. Consider adding variety and interest by sprinkling non-exercise oriented activities into your weekly routine or adding some fun to your usual workouts. Doing something you love helps maintain a positive life outlook and has serious benefits for your mental health. By fostering a wide range of interests, you can prevent the burnout that often follows an overly-saturated workout routine.

A healthy body starts from within. Take care of your body and mind by combining the workout routine you love with a little extra love for yourself!
