Exercise Tips

I know......

I know that you have been searching for that help, and motivation. It can be hard to stay fit, and stay within those motivational goals however this year may be your year. Try implementing these tips into your exercise routine. 

Here are some helpful tips to help keep yourself motivated towards receiving a good workout, and help you to make wise decisions to help with your exercise routine according to the Web site www.dailytouch.com.

1.    

A gym membership will not make you fit

The reason behind this is due to the fact that 60% of gym memberships are never used. The only way to save some money on this one is if you actually use the gym membership, or have a friend hold you accountable to going towards the gym.

Now if you’re on a tight budget this may not be the best route to stay fit considering that you might be wasting money on something that you will never use. It would be best, or cheaper, just to go run, and eating a healthier diet when staying fit.

2.      Music improves your workout

Did you know that studies have shown that you can improve your workout performance by more than 15% if you listen to music? It is very true, when a person does continued work while listening to music it can help zone a person out. This may be due to the reason to the fact that we can get carried away to bouncing around to our favorite tunes!

3.      Time of day is important

Have you ever felt that doing certain things in the day that you feel more motivated to complete it? Likewise, it applies to exercise as well. For those that have a hard time committing towards a schedule, experts state that the best time to exercise for those unmotivated is the morning. Exercising in the morning helps prevent the excuses that there isn’t enough time left in the day. However, it has been suggested that doing early morning workouts can actually inhibit your body’s immune system making it more likely that you might suffer from bacterial or viral infections.

4.      A person’s job may affect how much exercise you do

The type of job you do naturally affects how much exercise you do each day. It may be a surprise that people who are more physically active such as waiters and waitresses walk four miles a day on average while police officers only walk two miles on average.

Furthermore, the type of job you do should dictate how much exercise you need to do around it. If you’re job is a desk job, it would be best to counteract that amount of time spent at the desk proportionately conducive to helping you achieve maximum physical results. For example, it would be best that you receive at least an hour of exercise for the amount of time spent doing a desk job. Also, it might be worth thinking of ways that you can get more exercise even while at work this may include taking the stairs instead of taking the elevator.

5.      Facebook, the long road to fitness

 I’m sure you had to reread that twice to let that sink in but Facebook can help towards your fitness goals. The reason is when we see our friends being active it can guilt trip us into doing exercise. Furthermore, seeing an unattractive photo of an overweight person can persuade us to start doing exercise.

6.      Exercise can make you live longer

It is very true that doing just 15 minutes of exercise every day immediately gives you a 14% lower mortality rate than if you weren’t doing any exercise at all! Of course, every extra 15 minutes of exercise you do increases this statistic.

Furthermore, exercise helps increase our energy while lowering our blood pressure; and our cholesterol. As endorphins are released while doing exercise, it can result in us feeling younger and looking younger as well.

7.      Build those muscles

It is helpful for individuals to round out their exercise routine, especially when doing strength training. It is good to have cardiovascular exercise because it strengthens the heart muscles; and lowers the blood pressure, but did you know that strengthening the body’s muscles a bit more can reduce the risk of certain health implications, such as joint pain? Hence, it would be best to build up the weights and resistance to help build stronger muscles.  

8.      Stretch those muscles

Now there are many divided opinions when to stretch, but the best suggestion given about stretching is to stretch before exercise and after exercise. A muscle is a fiber tissue that tightens as it extends and contracts. As the muscles are placed under strain when doing exercise, the fibers tighten causing that soreness-feeling when under stress; and due to lactic acid build-up. It would be best to stretch both before exercise, to help prepare your muscles for intense exercise, and after exercise, to help release any lactic acid build-up. Furthermore, it is obvious that stretching also prevents injuries.

Two blogs

A note......

For my reader's I just wanted to make a quick note that I have made another blog post called healthandmoringa.wordpress.com. This blog will talk mainly about the benefits and history of the moringa plant. Furthermore, it will compare many products out there with the moringa plant.

However, this blog is in the works!

This blog that you're reading is mainly anything about health. But, I want to remind my readers that both blogs are still both your blogs. Please provide value to the content already provided, because together we can create a healthier world.

I did say to my readers that this blog is being monetized, but unfortunately it is currently not being monetized because my affiliates aren't available. Until then, I wish you "to your health." Cheers!

The secret to losing weight!

Alright, do you see this picture:

That is a massive belly bulge. Now, seeing that it is the new year the number one aspect of most resolutions is to lose weight. But, more than half of all those resolutions fall through. And, guess what? It is NOT there fault. 

Surprised?

I am shocked too. Forget the pep talks, and the motivational tips. I get it, and I understand that you didn't mean for your belly to look this huge! There are many fad diets out there that will say that they are the solution; however, you have tried everything and the bulge still will not go away. 

Well, let me tell you it has nothing to do with motivation or diet "secrets" that will help you lose the bulge. It has more to do accountability.

Do read that word carefully? I did say accountability! 

Here's why accountability is important in losing weight.

1. Some one can hold you guilty for sneaking that cookie.

2. Some one can help motivate you to do those work outs.

3. Some one can help teach you to exercise properly if you're the exercising type.

4. Some one can help you with proper nutrition. 

There are many other reasons why accountability is also important, but most importantly it keeps that "voice of reason" present. Find someone that you trust, or a personal trainer that will hold you accountable. And, I can promise you that you will keep your goals this year.
