Self-care: Still, yes, but not on the sofa!

Are you one of the lucky few who found yeast at the supermarket and now you bake more pizzas than the Sorbillo pizzeria in Naples?

Do you cook light desserts and then fill them with kilos of Nutella? Do you continually open the fridge even without a specific reason?

You're not the only one.

This emergency has changed the lifestyle of each of us a lot: some have rediscovered themselves as chefs, others with a good (very good) taste, others still both.

But you don't want to find yourself unprepared once this period of "imprisonment" is over?

Physical activity is extremely important: not only is it an excellent companion to spend quality time with but moving is extremely good for your physical and mental health!

So, put down yet another cookie and saddle up!

Exercise on rollers is the best ally for keeping fit during this period.

It is certainly a more tiring solution than going out on the road, but it is an excellent exercise for cyclists who want to stay fit.

So, here are some small tips for a safe, fun and high-performance workout!

First of all, dress lightly, bring a towel to wick away sweat and hydrate yourself a lot.

Remember to also take a fan because our body is still calibrated to winter temperatures and will struggle to disperse the excessive heat that this type of training produces.

Finally, plan for short breaks with a lighter pedal stroke, this will help to release the intensity of the training and, above all, your posture.

Luckily, technology can come to our aid for an indoor but fun workout.

Do you need motivating training? Sufferfest offers a wide range of motivational films and messages that will help you increase your determination and achieve your goals.

Are you a lover of video games? Zwift may be a suitable solution for you: a video game that allows you to complete different routes and rewards the user with experience points needed to buy different kits.

Are you more into training hard without distractions? TrainerRoad allows you to train on speed with more structured indoor exercises and specific training plans.

If you miss your adventure companions, open your computer, turn on Skype and train with them, even if from a distance!

Always remember not to get caught up in enthusiasm and overdo exercises that are not suited to your physical condition and not to do too many close-distance training sessions on rollers.

Listen to your body and satisfy its needs, only in this way will you be able to train in a high-performance and fun way!

Good workout!
