How To Maintain Your At Home Workout Routine in the Gym | Man of Many

LIFESTYLE
“The biggest challenge involved in maintaining a healthy lifestyle in isolation was people not having an understanding on how to continue training without access to any gym,” he says. “I’m a big believer about #45daily – so I train seven days a week for 45 minutes even if it’s just a walk or playing tennis outdoors.”

1. Start Small

Further to the last point, restrictions have been placed on the number of people able to attend the gym at present. So, even if you have all the gear, your playlist sorted and time scheduled in your day, it might be worth taking the workout home.

2. Keep the Home Gym Open

All those Uber Eats isolation sessions are definitely stacking up now. Whether you have been able to avoid takeaway throughout lockdown or not, the lifting of restaurant and bar restrictions has definitely upped the temptation levels. Before you blow all your hard work, Castano suggests taking a physical stock-take and seeing where you’re at.

3. Keep Consistent with Eating

Whether you plan on getting shredded or adding a bit of post-iso muscle, you need to eat within your goals. For Castano, that means putting together a diet plan, something he does himself every week.

    Now that gyms are slowly reopening, we’re seeing a rush of people heading back in for a sweat session, but not everyone is convinced. Some of you might even choose to forgo the gym membership entirely, opting to build your body at-home. Castano says the TechnoGym range of cardio and strength equipment has been a massive boost, allowing him to stay mobile, active and engage with the at-home classes.
