Major sickness such as heart disease, diabetes and colon cancer can be warded off by keeping yourself physically active. You will need to do moderate activity for more than 30 minutes at least 5 days per week. This will help ensure you stay fit and healthy.
Research and evidence shows that regular exercise helps you to prevent many major illnesses. Regular exercise will help you to:
• maintain a healthy blood sugar level to forestall diabetes or keep it in check
• maintain proper bone density to fend off osteoporosis
• greatly lower the overall risk of types of cancer
• enhance levels of HDL and reduce the chances of formulating heart disease
• lower high blood pressure which reduces the danger of developing heart disease
• charge the immune system
• build self-confidence and help fend off depression
• helps to maintain a healthy weight and body fat amount
I am a Personal Trainer in Hollywood and can tell you that for many, future illness may not be enough of a motivator for physical activity. Despite the evidence, lots of people find reasons not to exercise. Perhaps you can recognize a familiar excuse in the list below:
• you don’t have some free time due to work or family commitments
• spin]the price of|cost of[/spin] equipment or gym membership fees may be too high and you can’t afford it.
• you don’t have convenient locations or facilities nearby to workout or exercise
• you cannot exercise outside alone due to personal [spin]danger|safety[\spin]
• bad weather conditions
• you have some previous injury or you are worried about getting an injury
• you must workout at night and can’t feel safe or motivated
• too exhausted or just too lazy
Regardless of the excuse, if you don’t find a way to conquer your personal hurdles and start getting physically active the evidence shows that you will pay the price. If you simply won’t do a structured workout then find other ways to get active. Small decisions you make in your everyday life increasing your activity level, boosting your metabolism and increasing your heart rate. You don’t have to run a marathon or lift 300 lbs. Try a simple walk with the dog. Find something to keep yourself as active as possible, even without an exercise routine.
Types of activity that work:
In my role as a LA Personal Trainer I have learned through my clients that a great deal of people think that only vigorous workouts are counted as healthy fitness activity. But great health benefits can be attained from mundain activity without the requirement of special equipment, memberships or formal routines.
When you do moderate intensity exercise your heart rate and breathing will enhance. This is the goal you want to achieve in whatever activity you pick. You will feel heated. But in spite of this you should be able to talk without being out of breath. Being completely out of breath means that you are working yourself too hard. Typical daily tasks, if done at the right pace, can count toward keeping you healthy and preventing illness.
As a Personal Trainer in Beverly Hills I teach my clients that the following are types your goal to stay fit and healthy:
• Take the stairs and don’t use the elevator as much as possible
• If you have to use an escalator then walk up, don’t just ride
• Walk as opposed to driving whenever possible. You will be surprised how many places are within a close walking distance from your home.
• Household chores such as sweeping, moping, vacuuming can be done at a brisk pace
• Gardening is a great way to stay active. Planting, mowing, weeding and trimming are all great activities.
• Enroll in a dance class or join a local amateur sports club
• Walk the dog at a brisk pace. If you have a dog then ask to take out the neighbors dog.
• Chase your kids in the or play Frisbee or catch
• Volunteer to help maintain local park trails or pick up trash
Your capacity to keep up a physical workout like jogging, racket sports, or even cycling and swimming, is determined by your aerobic fitness or toughness. Typically the greater your stamina the greater will be your health benefits. In order to improve your stamina you will have to start gently and then increase the frequency of your workout.
In order to continue your physical workouts you have to stay motivated. Staying motivated will help train your brain and your body. The following are a few tips to help you stay motivated:
• Always keep reminding yourself the reason for that you started the work out.
• Picture that you have achieved your goal. Through visualization you will be able to motivate yourself more and you will be able to achieve your goals.
• Even if you don’t feel enthusiastic at first, exercising releases chemicals into your brain and this have a very strong effect on your mood. It helps to reduce anxiety and depression. So you will feel better if you just get up and do it.
I can tell you as a Movie Star Workout Mentor, whatever it takes and whatever you need that motivates you, do it. Your health and happiness depends on you staying fit and active.
