It seems kind of funny to me when people ask how can they
make fitness part of their daily lives because I often
wonder if they really want the truth. The reason I say that
is because fitness is a lot like any other hobby. You have
those that dabble and then you have those that are, well, a
little farther out of the norm.
It reminds me of that quote where Jack Nicholson says
"Truth? You can't handle the truth!" You see, the fact of
the matter is that some of the fitness crowd do things on a
daily basis that to "normal" people seems a little strange.
If you want to answer a question like how to make fitness a
part of your daily life you have to look at who you are
talking to. For the average person just getting into
fitness, you would say a very politically correct bunch of
tidbits like what is about to follow:
1.Walk to work instead of driving.
2.Park further from the mall and walk more.
3.Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
4.Walk during your lunch hours.
That all sounds pretty familiar doesn’t it? It's
pretty standard fair for a personal trainer to blurt out
when trying to give some general guidelines. But what about
that other part of the population that would like to make
fitness a part of their daily lives? You know, the ones
that are a little "out there". The people that the normal
folk would call, "fitness nuts".
Here is how is how a fitness nut would act on a regular day
because they love fitness and moving is a joy that has no
comparison.
You wake up and immediately drink a glass or two of water.
You know you are dehydrated after all night. You jump into
the shower and let the hot water warm up your muscles and
you start your stretches. A couple chest stretches using
the shower wall, some deep squat holds, a couple lunge
holds for the hip flexors and some forward bends to ease up
the hamstrings from your previous leg workout. Funny I know
but all these stretches make shaving your legs a whole lot
easier!
After the shower you have to get your daily clothes from
the laundry downstairs, so you bear crawl down the stairs.
Once you have your laundry, you jump up the stairs taking
them two at a time. Then you bear crawl back down because
you dropped a sock and your t-shirt.
After you have breakfast, you go to brush your teeth and
hang from your doorway chinup bar to get a good stretch.
You're feeling pretty good this morning so you throw in 5
chinups too while your at it.
After work you didn’t feel like going to the gym and
that's o.k. because you know how your body works and you
know you need a nap before you can really pound out a super
intense workout.
After your nap you go over to your laptop and crank up your
favorite tunes. You decide to workout at home today because
that's what you feel like doing. You decide on this workout:
5 Handstand Pushups
10 One Legged Squats
15 Chinups
You set your watch to 30 minutes and decide to do as many
rounds of the above circuit as you can before the alarm
goes off. 10 minutes later you are sweating like crazy.
Your spouse thinks your insane and your kids are laughing
their heads off. The most important thing is that they
admire you for taking care of yourself so that you will be
around for many, many years to take care of them.
30 minutes later you're all finished and only 10 feet from
your own shower and family. After everything is said and
done you lay in bed with a smile on your face and slip into
a deep sleep with a smile on your face. You're physically
tired and very happy because you are one of the rare few
that make fitness a part of your daily life.
