I’m not sure if I am allowed to post this here, I’ve been having trouble posting on the xx fitness one where my posts keep getting deleted - so apologies if I am in the wrong place.
I’ve been having a lot of trouble working out these days. I think it might be because of the summer/heat. I cannot explain it but I felt this way last summer and I don’t feel this way in the winter. I can’t seem to want to workout these days and it’s a struggle to force myself to finish the workout.
I feel as though I have gained some weight, I’m sure that is do to my lack of cardio this past year. I was primarily focusing on strength training and I am deeply regretting it because I look bulky with no definition. I have been trying to add cardio back into my routine (as well as yoga) but I’m struggling. I am trying to aim for 30 min. but some days I can’t even get through 10 min. I am working in the office 3 days a week, 2 are remote. My office days are harder since I often have headaches on those days and I don’t have a lot of time for long workouts. I’ve also had autoimmune issues in the past, so I was often under weight in a unhealthy way. I feel as though I have things under control but I often get fatigue easily. I’ve also been going through a difficult time at work these days and have been more stressed that normal. I’m hoping to resolve some of these issues this week.
Does anyone else have the same struggles in the summer? How do you motivate yourself?
If relevant, here is my routine:
Monday & Friday - P.volve/strength training for 30 minutes, elliptical for 30 minutes and currently doing a yoga challenge so the times vary.
Tuesday & Thursday - P.volve/trying to do the strength and burn choices for 30 minutes.
Wednesday - Yoga (time varies)
