The start of summer is highly anticipated for most, especially for fans of outdoor sports. After months of not having played summer sports, however, some preparation is a must. Consistently hitting up a quality, well-equipped Salinas, Modesto, or Bakersfield gym (or other gym near you) will leave you in better condition. Being in better condition makes for better performance and reduces the risk of injury. The question is—how do you make sure your summer sports training is as productive as possible?
Match Your Workout with Your Interests
The most important part of any exercise regimen is making workouts at a health club a consistent part of your schedule. Fine-tuning your workouts to optimize your training for your specific sports, however, is even better. For instance, if you’re itching to get back to outdoor climbing, it makes sense to focus on pull-ups, push-ups, and working your triceps. It’s also a compelling reason not to skip leg day. In other words, incorporate exercises that will enhance your performance in your sport (or sports) of choice and work them into your gym time.
Mix Up Your Training Routine
Particularly when it comes to sports, there are better workout options than a static training routine. Sports tend to be dynamic, requiring the intense use of a variety of muscles. Mix up your training routine to work new muscles in different ways. Plus, mixing up your training routine makes your workout experience more interesting. Find a health club with a gym Vallejo or Stockton members choose for its wide selection of equipment and diverse lineup of studio fitness classes. Trying out new studio fitness classes is an effective way to switch up your routine and have a whole lot of fun.
Prioritize Active Recovery
Healthy recovery is nearly as vital a part of the training process as the training itself. Foregoing recovery can be counterproductive to your training and even lead to injury. Focus on less intense, low-impact activities on your recovery days, like a comfortable walk, yoga, or a little swimming. One of the best things about being a member of a health club is the access to ideal recovery-aiding amenities. Make a good sweat in a sauna or a tension-melting soak in a warm spa part of your recovery process.
Set Realistic Goals
Finally, while setting goals is important when creating a training plan, setting unrealistic goals is discouraging. Remember that goals don’t have to be ambitious, rigid, and meticulous exercise objectives. Any goal that makes for more positive and effective training is a good one. These include goals like “visit the gym 3 times per week” or “incorporate protein into each meal.”
