Write a fitness plan for the week “When I had big matches ahead of me, it would often become overwhelming, so I’d try to take every week as it came with training,” says the 37-year-old former pro footballer. If you don’t feel like a workout – just walk “You often feel under pressure to go for a long run or to go hard at the gym,” says Scott. Try Epsom salts “After a long day of training, I always used to treat myself to a hot bath with some Epsom salts,” says Scott.
