Working Towards
Personal Health and
Fitness
It is amazing that with the huge number of
exercise machines and programs on the
market today, personal health and fitness is
at an all-time low. We are the fattest and
least fit generation ever. The only thing
more worrying than this is that the next
generation looks to be even worse off! We
shouldn't accept this. Everyone has both the
time and resources to get into better shape.
Here's how to go about it.
Every year in January, gym attendance
peaks as every man and his dog hits the
treadmill for a week or two. And just a few
short weeks later, not one in ten will still be
exercising. No time, no money. The excuses
are everywhere. And they really are nothing
more than excuses. There are men and
women out there working 60 or more hours
a week in tough jobs who also have
families, and yet they are in great shape.
The time has come to stop making excuses.
What is particularly sad is the fact that so
many people just don't know what to do.
They believe that if they don't have access
to the perfect program, then anything else is
a waste of time. This couldn't be farther
from the truth. What about walking or
running? This is free and will get anyone
into shape. It also gets you away from the
desk for half an hour and into the fresh air,
which is certainly good news.
It is also very easy to incorporate resistance training
into your lifestyle of personal health and fitness without
needing to spend a cent. Bodyweight exercises can
work wonders. Try lunges, bodyweight squats and
pushups for starters. For a bit of variety, what about
heading down to a local park and doing some dips and
chins of the monkey bars.
Of course, without decent nutrition, this is a waste of
time. But once again, this really isn't that complicated.
Surely everyone knows that eating a lot of fruit and
veggies and drinking water and green tea is good news
by now? Everyone would be a whole lot leaner already
if they just cut as much processed food as possible out
of their diets.
There really is no need to go on a starvation diet.
Making small changes is plenty to get most people
down to a level of body fat where they can tell that their
abs is in their somewhere!
