Guess what? There really is no 'best exercise.' Fads
exercises will always come and go, but the best thing for
your body is that you are consistently active. Workout
regularly and remember that your body needs to be
challenged in order to reach your desired goals. Don't get
hung up on fad exercises - be a stickler for consistency
instead! When it comes to exercise you have tons of
options. But it all starts with finding an activity that
YOU enjoy.
Will you find the time for a workout today, or will the
busyness of the day leave you exhausted on the couch? If
you are like most people, exercise doesn't top your list of
favorite things to do. Who wouldn't rather be immersed in a
piece of chocolate cake, enjoying their favorite TV show or
dining out with friends instead of sweating in the gym?
But the fact is that our favorite things are often those
that expand our waist lines, and by now we all know that
larger waist lines mean an increase in a plethora of health
problems, not to mention an overall decrease in your
quality of life.
Hmmm, so maybe exercise isn't such a bad idea after
all...It's just that you hate to exercise.
It may be time to change your attitude toward exercise. If
you go into it telling yourself how much you hate it and
how you wish that you were doing something else instead,
chances are you won't enjoy it. I don't know about you, but
I don't often do things I don't enjoy. It is time to open
your mind to the possibility that you can enjoy exercise.
In fact, when done correctly, exercise is an enjoyable
experience.
Take a minute to ponder the following:
* Have you written off exercise based on a particular type
of routine – maybe you would enjoy something different. The
truth is that no one can deny how great it feels to
accomplish a challenging workout. It's rewarding,
invigorating and feels great. You simply need to find the
right form of exercise for you.
* Try to pinpoint the main reason that you dislike
exercise. Is it the uncomfortable workout clothes that you
own? Maybe it is time for a new style. Is it trying to
decide what machine to use at the gym? Maybe it is time for
a personal trainer. Is it the pain that you feel in your
shoulder when swimming? Maybe it is time to find a new form
of cardiovascular exercise - one that won't aggravate your
injury.
There are many different forms of exercises that will give
you the results that you want. Don't like the gym? There's
a program for you. Don't like running? There is an
alternative. Don't have the time? There are time friendly
exercise routines that will give you incredible results in
under an hour.
