So exercise huh?
The thought makes most people cringe but don’t worry, we aren’t
going to ask you to go out and spend hours in the gym working off
your weight one mile at a time on the treadmill.
Instead you’re going to get a no nonsense approach to exercise
anyone can do despite your current level of fitness.
Exercise in your life
Ok, let’s start the show by busting a myth or two along the way.
Contrary to popular belief sneaking in a little housework during
commercial breaks doesn’t cut the mustard. It won’t be enough to
lose the excess pounds you gained over the years.
For exercise to be of any long term benefit you have to raise your
heart rate for at least 30 minutes at a time for at least 3 or more times
per week.
Would you believe that some people don’t consider walking around the
neighborhood or up stairs as significant exercise? It may be low
impact but it is better than doing no exercise at all and whether you
realize it or not still burns calories.
When you think of exercise what images do you conjure in your mind?
Is it of sweaty bodies squeezed into a tiny spaces jumping to pounding
music? Exercise doesn’t have to be a torture; it can be enjoyable
especially if shared with your family of friends. Exercise can be going
for a walk, chasing after your children, mowing and raking the lawn.
