Don\u2019t give up! The battle against Covid-19 continues and we look forward to welcoming you to
\nBloc Shop, in safety and health. However, the quarantine is not yet finished and the motivation
\nto train is not always there. Don\u2019t worry, we get it. This is why we want to offer tools to keep
\nyou in shape and make you feel good. So, whether you are a little less motivated or unable to
\nget off the couch, here are some tips that could help you find the fire you had before this crisis.<\/p>\n
One of the difficulties of the current situation is the lack of benchmarks to assess your progress.
\nWe no longer have the satisfaction of sending our projects or finally reach a new grade. To stay
\nmotivated, set some goals for the next few weeks in different areas of climbing: a running
\ndistance, doing the splits, a high point in your hangs, a number of pull ups, etc. It\u2019s more
\nencouraging when you can see your gains and improvements.<\/p>\n
Start by establishing the tools you have access to. You can be creative to replace the equipment
\nnormally available at the gym. Then make a list of the types of training you want to do in the
\nnext month. I can include upper and lower body, abs, core, finger strength, mobility, flexibility,
\ncardio, balance, etc. Finally, organize a simple and realistic schedule, with specific days for each
\nexercise session, as well as the time they will take. Prepare your workouts in advance, to make
\nyour job easier.<\/p>\n
Remember that staying active is very important for our health and morale. If you don\u2019t have the
\nenergy to do some heavy training, try to find a daily time dedicated to move a little. If you can
\ngo out for a short walk or get some fresh air, do it! If not, find a way to activate your body and
\nmind, like dancing or stretching.<\/p>\n
Motivate yourself by watching climbing videos or movies and reading stories that inspire you.
\nYou can also listen to music that you usually hear when you work out or watch old footage of
\nyour favorite climbs, to remind you of those great moments. If it makes you nostalgic, choose
\ncontent from other sports. Cross fit is particularly motivating, and surfing, very soothing!<\/p>\n
Finally, vary the exercises you choose to do, as to not get bored. This break is ideal to explore
\nsome new moves and abilities. Take this opportunity to push your limits in another way and to
\nchallenge your creativity.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t forget that we are in a crisis and that it\u2019s normal to lack motivation sometimes. If you
\nhave a difficult day, be gentle with yourself and remind yourself that every day is a new day.
\nDon\u2019t stay fixated on not exercising enough or eating too much. Accept it and look ahead to do
\nbetter tomorrow!<\/p>\n
One thing is certain, we will manage to get through this crisis, together. Take care of yourself
\nand your loved ones. See you soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
