Setting and following through on a fitness goal are two entirely different things. Monsoon season makes you lazy and constantly drives you to hit the gym and focus on your fitness.
"I'll do it tomorrow or do this task in a few hours"—tell me, is it finished or still on the table? Still on the table, right? This is a form of procrastination.
Let's start by learning how to set reasonable fitness goals for this monsoon to eliminate any internal procrastination. By doing so, nothing will delay your commitment to leading a healthy lifestyle.
Things to Consider When Setting Sensible Fitness Goals for Monsoon
When it's raining outside, you feel cozy and warm and just want to spend the day lazily without worrying about gaining weight or becoming sluggish.
"Good health is not something we can buy. However, it can be a precious savings account." – Anne Wilson Schaef.
Invest your energy in achieving goals in physical fitness; give yourself a 7 days,15 days or 30 days fitness challenge. Because once, Mahatma Gandhi said, "It is the health that is the real wealth, not the pieces of gold and silver".
Be mindful about the following factors when setting realistic fitness goals for the monsoon season -
Nutritious diet
With a nutritious diet and workout, it is valuable. The right guidance about the diet provides your body with energy and allows it to perform at its best. After all, your body is a machine. So you must-
-Maintain a food diary for monitoring your dietary intake-what you should eat, when and how much to eat
-Calculate your body's calories requirements
-Track your fitness goals performance on several fitness-related apps
-Limit your intake of white, sugary items.
Listen to your body
First, listen to understand what your body wants. You must acknowledge knowing how much exercise your body wants, how much time your body is provoking this pain, and whether it may or may not cause a severe problem.
Otherwise, you'll fall into a long, deep well of ill health from which you'll never get out. Pay attention to your body to accomplish your physical fitness goals over the long term.
Determine Workout time
A common question about beginners' fitness goals is how much time they need to take for daily workouts. The answer will be that 20 minutes is enough for any exercise. If you want more than that, create a workout plan according to your goals. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's physical-strengthening activity guidelines, 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week is enough.
Find a workout partner
A workout partner is someone you go to the gym with frequently and who motivates you to work toward your fitness objectives.
They can help you stay focused while making your exercise more fun and competitive. No achievement is truly attainable without competition, much like curry without salt. Competing with your fitness buddies helps you become long-term committed to your health and fitness.
Maintain hydration
Hydrating yourself in any season is a must. In the monsoon, the rising humidity causes high sebum production in the skin and increases the sensations of fatigue and drowsiness. Drink a maximum 8 glasses of normal water, or try detox water, which keeps you hydrated and prevents your health from worsening.
5 Sensible Fitness Goals for Monsoon to Enhance Your Cardio
Start your fitness journey with a great and sturdy mindset. Only mindset improves your cardio fitness, whatever your age is and whatever you've been through.
Our monsoon fitness goals are piling up, making you unstoppable. Such as-
Consistency in regular exercise schedule
Monsoons cover everything in rainy water, making the ground, street, or park slippery and making running or working out impossible. That means perseverance and consistency are falling apart.
Maintaining consistency and the most attainable fitness goal is tricky, but it is not impossible. Try indoor workouts; start with just a little time, like 10 to 20 minutes four times a week, for your health and fitness goals. You can start by gradually increasing the duration—frequency of your workout. But, to be consistent, attend all your scheduled fitness sessions toward your fitter journey this monsoon.
Strengthen your upper body
Don't let the monsoon season hinder your upper body workout routine - you can easily exercise at the gym or at home. There's no need to go out for it. When you move the upper part of the body, your heart stays healthy, and you achieve flexibility in any range of motion.
Start your upper body strengthening journey with -
-
5 to 10 minutes warm-up like easy running, rowing, or cycling, then cool down your body with stretching
-
Doing your upper body workouts like chest presses, push-ups, front and lateral arm raises, bench dips, and planks
Reduce body fat
Body fat reduction is our ultimate target in this fitness journey. Keep an eye on the balance between exercise and a nutritious diet. The more you look fitter, stronger, and healthier, the more your self-confidence and never-giving-up motivation increase.
Jogging and running are the best medicine for belly fat loss, but the monsoon never lets you stop doing them. There are more of other ways to reduce fat -
-
Jog on the treadmill for 1 hour to improve your muscle strength.
-
Jumping on a rope to burn calories and increase metabolism.
-
Practice push-ups, lunges, squats, and planks to improve core strength, balance, and endurance.
-
Try yoga poses to improve concentration and minimize the weight
Increase flexibility
Increasing flexibility in the body is the most common physical fitness goal. The more you exercise, the higher your chance of achieving a flexible body. It can only happen after you've mastered yoga poses and other upper and lower body exercises.
Yoga is the most popular option for people who want a flexible body. In the monsoon gloom, yoga motivates you, refreshes your body's blood circulation, relieves your body pain, and meditates you deeply in the mind, and you feel so relaxed and light. It contains several asanas, each with a different purpose and method of strengthening your body and keeping it healthy and fit.
Develop lean muscle mass
Whoever does not want to build muscle knows that every fitness freak's ultimate target is to develop lean muscles, whether you're a woman or a man.
Don't forget to be aware of the physiology of muscle tissues that can facilitate your exercise movements. Workout duration, frequency, and a nutritious diet all contribute to a toned physique by developing core muscles in the skeletal and cardiac tissues.
Get in a Shape Your Monsoon Fitness Goals in the Comfort of Your Own Space
Fitness is part of your lifestyle, not just a habit. Whatever the season is or will be, fitness training should never stop, just as time never stops.
Just focus, no proper balanced diet, and consistency in workout sessions—that's it! Keep your physical fitness activity on so that it can tone your body, improve your heart and body's health, and nurture your overall long time or short time fitness goals.
