If you are feeling stuck in a rut after lockdown, sometimes you just need to focus on simple steps you can take to make improvements and move towards your goals.

Here's some simple things you can do this very day to help.

5 things you can do today to get better

🔹Get a workout in. You'll feel better for doing it. This one step can be the catalyst for ticking off all the other steps and for building on this workout by hitting another and then another in the coming days.

🔹Go for a walk. Much like getting a workout in, you will feel better for it. Walking can be great for your mental health and gets your general activity levels up, which in turn helps you improve your physical wellbeing.

🔹Stay well hydrate. There are many health benefits from staying well hydrated. Generally speaking, aiming for between 2 and 3 litres of water is a good target.

🔹Eat lean protein at every meal. Protein is important in supporting your body's recovery and development from your physical efforts. It helps build and maintain muscle mass and is very satiating, meaning it will help keep you fuller for longer and aid in making improvements to your nutrition in general.

🔹Do 10-15 mins of mobility. If you have been working from home, furloughed or generally quite inactive you can get quite stiff and possibly experience ill effects from this. Allocating as little as 10-15 mins in your day to perform some flexibility and mobility work can go a long way. It doesn't need to be complicated either, fire a quick search in YouTube and follow along with one of the many free routines.
