What are the signs you need to go back to the Gym again?

Have you been gone from the Gym for far too long? Check out these 10 telltale signals that it's time to go to the gym again - and what you can do about it!

Did your day of relaxation develop into a week or a month of rest? Sometimes life intervenes, and your goal to go to the gym five days a week is shattered. It can happen to anyone. What counts is that you return, even if it's been a long time.

Here are some telltale indicators that you've been gone from the gym for too long and you need to return: 

It takes a lot of work to move your own body weight.

Can you complete 25 flawless push-ups in a row? Let's start with a full-range-of-motion pull-up. Try holding a plank for more than a minute. It's fantastic if you can do these activities; you're already ahead of half of the population! How tough were they to complete? If any of these actions required all-out effort, you know what you need to improve. If you can't do any of the above, it's time to get back into shape. Not being able to move your own body weight is a clear indicator that you need to get back into shape.

Any able-bodied individual should make it a priority to be able to move their own body weight effectively. Include body weight exercises in your workouts, either as part of a program that includes weights and cardio or as a stand-alone workout that just requires a pull-up bar and some floor space.

These days, your lucky piece of apparel isn't that lucky.

Is your clothing shrinking or increasing as you get older? If your fortunate jersey from the previous season, which you wore while watching your favorite team play, no longer fits, you should consider why. Hopefully, it's because you've been working out consistently and your chest and arms have grown a few inches. If it isn't, and instead of stroking your jersey for good luck, people are rubbing your belly for luck, it's a solid indicator that you need to get back into the gym.

Eating too much and exercising too little leads to weight gain. To get your clothes to fit properly again, you must do the opposite: exercise more and eat fewer calories by altering your meal choices, portion sizes, or both. To restore the luck in your lucky jersey, go to the gym and watch your diet.

Getting a "dad bod," 

Having children shifts your priorities in such a manner that you may not be able to make it to the gym as often as you used to. It's dubbed being lazy if you have a "Dad Bod" but aren't a father. What's your justification for letting yourself go when dads have children to look after? People's most common excuse for not going to the gym is that they don't have enough time. There are lots of fathers who still go to the gym on a regular basis and haven't developed the "Dad Bod" reputation. It all boils down to your priorities and how you allocate your time.
