When was the last time you worked out? A new study by Nuffield Health has found that almost half of all women in the UK have done no vigorous exercise in the past 12 months, stating a lack of motivation as the primary reason. Despite a boom in at-home workout apps and athleisure during the pandemic, 38 per cent of women said their lockdown workouts have lapsed all together.
Research suggests that even just a two-week hiatus from exercise can lead to substantial loss in muscle mass and strength. So if you’re looking to get back into the gym, but the thought of 45 minutes on a treadmill feels like a fate worse than death, fear not.
