Time to get the message that leading a sedentary life will destroy your overall health. As with nutrition, you must experiment and find the workout that works for you. You must also force yourself to move everyday. From cleaning your house or apartment to getting a gym workout, moving is what maintains your body and keeps it fit.
The magic number when it comes to walking is 10000 as in steps. A pedometer is required. Then again, you can start running. It's never too late to begin an exercise routine. WebMD has great resources and information on fitness.
You can't deny the importance of physical fitness. If it becomes overwhelming you can start at fitness basics.
If you look at fitness and exercise you only have a part of the factors that set the importance for your overall health. People have different goals when it comes to exercise. Some want to lose weight, some are into bodybuilding or power lifting. So the goal may vary from the means used to get their. At some point, most should realize, more than achieving a goal, it has come time to maintain only.
The biggest mistake that the novice falls into is pushing too hard early on. In the 70s when I lived in Europe, we referred to it as SUPER TRAINING. Start slow and proceed with caution, because Rome wasn't built in a day, either! This also applies to those who haven't exercised in awhile. Overtraining Syndrome is real. It can make you stop training or exercising altogether. Wait until I get into my New Years Resolution diatribe that will come around, well, New Years!
How do you motivate people to start Exercising? You have to hit them where they live. Boost mood and improve sex aren't good enough???
Reduce stress with exercise and working late is no longer an excuse.
Always take your doctor's advice when it comes to any health issue.
