Easy Fitness Tips

I really can't say enough about exercising, but it's one of those topics that either you got it in you to do it and stick with it, or you don't. Then there are those who talk about starting someday, and you even have those who sign a contract at a gym and never show up. Exercise is essential and an intense workout at least 3 times a week is needed.

One needs to find the motivation to exercise and to not let the flame go out. Some join gyms and some buy home exercising equipment, but without motivation, neither one will give you your moneys worth. One of the biggest problems with beginners that makes them quit is overtraining. This can also keep veterans away from exercising for months, because they overdo it. Overtraining can also be dangerous to your health.


If you want to burn calories, the intensity of the exercise is what matters. Here are 15 ways to burn 150 calories. If I plan on doing nothing else, I will take the stairs to the 15th floor to my apartment. How about a stretch and tone workout?

Keep in mind that you really don't need a gym to workout. The cost for equipment is affordable. Sometimes all it takes is a couple of dumbbells and 15 minutes to build muscle and strength. Although most people exercise for their outer appearance, we must not forget to exercise for our heart.

The ideal lifestyle is to exercise everyday but to lower the intensity. Three days a week should have weight training. Cardio should be done daily with maximum, moderate, and low intensity alternating days. Eventually our routine should be to maintain our muscles and organs. This comes as we age, where our body has peaked, and the main concern becomes to maintain ourselves.
