Some motivation tips

If you are having trouble staying motivated:
Find a training partner – you can keep each other motivated
Set goals – both short and medium term – and refer to them regularly
Keep a training log – it gives you concrete data on your progress

Variety

It is important to ensure that you have plenty of variety in your training schedule. If you are doing high level sport specific training, you may not have many options, but if you are training for health and fitness – add some variety – add some fun

Stretch after your workout

Stretching after the hard part of your workout is now considered the best time to incorporate stretching into a mixed training session. The other option is to do a dedicated stretching session at another time or on a different day

In case of injury – RICER

If any accidents happen during training, use RICER principles for the first 48 hours
Rest – no hard fast activity, although light movement is generally recommended
Ice – helps reduce inflammation and pain
Compression – helps reduce inflammation – ensure the compression is not too tight
Elevation - helps reduce inflammation and pain
Refer – medical advice doctor, physiotherapist etc

Try dancing

If you want a fun, active and social way of increasing your activity levels, try dancing. There are a wide variety of styles that you can try (I personally like Latin) and classes are run in most locations. Depending on the style, you can improve your aerobic fitness, coordination, balance and your social life.
