The Lockdown has meant that all of our lives have had to change, and one of the biggest changes to our lifestyles that many of us have felt, is the removal of access to our gyms.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If your social media feeds are anything like mine, you will have seen a plethora of videos and pictures of people\u2019s home-gym efforts. PTs have really stepped up however, and are offering all sorts of online classes, free videos of workouts, and a whole host of ideas for things which can be done.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of course for many, these changes and upheavals will make it increasingly difficult to keep focus on their fitness goals. Add the fact that many will have to be home-schooling their children, have to adjust to living, working and working out all in the same space. Finally we can\u2019t discount the other big change for those who don\u2019t need to commute, this means that the only time we will get any exercise at all, even in terms of number of steps taken, will be if we set out to do exactly that. Steps and general activity levels will not come just as part of one\u2019s day, but will need dedicated activities to achieve.<\/div>\n

<\/span>So how will these changes affect my hard-won gym progress?<\/span><\/h2>
