Review what time of the day works best for you to exercise.\u00a0 It might be first thing in the morning before work and to jumpstart your metabolism. The afternoon is another popular option to help avoid an end-of-day\u00a0slump.\u00a0 Early evening works better for others to mark the end of the working day.<\/li>\n<li>Set a daily or weekly exercise plan with realistic targets.\u00a0 Try and be active on most, if not every, day.\u00a0The NHS advises that everyone should aim to do 150 minutes\u2019 moderate intensity activity or 75 minutes\u2019 vigorous activity every week.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t be disheartened if you miss a planned exercise session or class.\u00a0 Focus on doing it next time and the next scheduled activity.<\/li>\n<li>Be aware of how good you feel after physical or mindful activity. Use this as a motivator.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you choose exercise that you enjoy &#8211; there\u2019s more chance you\u2019ll do it.\u00a0 \u00a0And mix up your workout routine to include strength and cardio training alongside stretch and mindful exercise.\u00a0 Having a well-balanced programme will stimulate different muscle groups and enhance overall fitness levels.<\/li>\n<li>Make small changes to your day to fit in more exercise.\u00a0 If you\u2019re returning to your workplace, consider cycling or walking there or getting off your bus one stop earlier.\u00a0 If your children are back at school, consider walking with them there rather than driving in the car.<\/li>\n<li>Mental and physical health are so intricately connected and it\u2019s important that we look after both.\u00a0 Try mindful meditation classes to help combat anxiety, depression and stress and build resilience.<\/li>\n<li>Tracking your progress can help keep you motivated when exercising and helps you see what you\u2019ve achieved.\u00a0 REVOOLA\u2019s online app measures effort put into fitness activities as well as conventional metrics such as distance, time, heart rate, calories and elevation.\u00a0 It is also able to quantify levels of relaxation during mindful activity.<\/li>\n<li>Lockdown saw a boom in the use of virtual fitness and mindful classes and they will continue to be a popular way of exercising because they are so time and cost efficient.<\/li>\n<li>Even if you only have a few minutes to spare you can fit in express body and mind workouts \u2013 REVOOLA\u2019s meditation classes start at just four minutes long; its express body fitness workouts include 10\/15\/20 minute dance, HIIT, pilates, ride and yoga classes.<\/li>\n<li>Schedule time with friends to exercise together either in person or via challenges offered through virtual workouts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mark Williams continued:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe power of exercising both the body and mind, and the important role it plays in our wellbeing has been remarkably apparent during lockdown.\u00a0 It is critical that we hold onto good exercise habits we have picked up during lockdown and ensure they remain an intrinsic part of our lives as social distancing measures are eased.\u00a0 We really hope that people continue to prioritise exercise as a vital part of their overall wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes to editors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revoola.com\/es\/\">REVOOLA<\/a> is a comprehensive, interactive mindfulness and body fitness app offering:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\n<li>Hundreds of instructor-led mindfulness activities and body fitness classes available 24\/7:\n<ul style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\n<li>Body fitness classes &#8211; split into HIIT, pilates, ride, dance, warm up\/ down and yoga.<\/li>\n<li>Mindfulness classes &#8211; split into six categories (energise, focus, happiness, mindful movement, relax, sleep) &#8211; developed to combat anxiety, depression, stress and build resilience.<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Open workouts\u2019 allowing users to benefit from REVOOLA\u2019s tracking features when doing non-class-based activity e.g. a run, ride or walk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>A system that measures effort and quality of activity not performance:\n<ul style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\n<li>REVOOLA\u2019S Effort Value (REV) is an algorithm measuring the effort (from 0 to 100) put into each activity.
