Easter is upon us, and for many it’s a time to relax, reflect on life, and enjoy a few days away from the daily grind.
For former athletes, the rhythms of training and competition may be a thing of the past, which means this Easter could be about kicking back and doing all those things that elite sport denies. So, what’s it to be?
Hit the gym
Some habits die hard, right? Even after hanging up their jerseys, many athletes never truly leave the gym. After all, it’s a sure-fire way to stay sharp in mind and body.
Chill out with friends
No more strict schedules means more time for friends and socialising. Time to catch up with teammates over great food and a drink or two, or even friendly game of something less intense than pro sport.
Enjoy the great outdoors
Whether it’s a stroll in the park or a hike through the hills, getting out in the peace and quiet doesn’t happen too often during intense conditioning regimes. Finally, you can tap into the simple pleasures of life and stay fit while you’re at it.
Crack into the Easter chocolate
We all have our breaking points when it comes to indulging in our favourite treats, so you’d be forgiven for tearing into an Easter egg or three. But now it’s your chance to do so guilt free!
