How Effort + Work = A Healthier You

Fitness requires three things, dedication to your goals, a willingness to change your life, and a plan. Without a plan, it’s too easy to quit your new lifestyle when things get hard. The following information will help you in creating your plan of action on the road to being physically fit.

Gym classes, led by an instructor, are an excellent way to improve your overall fitness level. Instructors plan routines in advance to optimize the right proportions of muscle work, aerobic work and stretching for each class. You just show up, follow the teacher’s lead, listen to some good music, and hopefully have some fun too.

Yoga used to be an obscure activity, done only by those into new age experiences. But yoga has become so mainstream that it’s almost impossible now to find someone who hasn’t tried it. There are many types of yoga exercises, which focus on stretching and elongating muscles. There is yoga that focuses on relaxing, but also fitness yoga that gets your heart pumping.

One of the best ways to stay fit is to have a fitness buddy. This is someone who is committed to exercising with you on a regular basis. You can go to the gym with your fitness buddy or just do fun forms of exercise like walking, hiking, surfing, swimming, bicycling or dancing. Having a fitness buddy keeps you motivated!

If you are able to, exercise first thing in the morning. It will get your metabolism going for the day. Feeling sluggish mid-morning or mid-afternoon? Get up from whatever you’re doing and take a 10-15 minute walk. Drink a couple of bottles of water while you’re at it. Do not grab that candy bar!!!

A great fitness tip is to do sit-ups. Even though many people claim that sit-ups are not effective, they are actually very effective. They give you a bigger range of motion, which strengthens the abs. However, you should never do sit-ups with your feet anchored because you could hurt your lower back.

You can improve your grip by using a towel to grab onto the bar when you work out your arms. This causes the bar to become thicker and the tightness of your grip to increase. That increase cause your forearm muscles to have to work much harder at holding onto the bar.

Even something as simple as a ten minute walk can raise your spirits, relieve tension, and get your energy levels up. If you can’t walk during the day, take a friend along for an evening walk, and you can also burn calories from your dinner while you’re at it.

A great workout tip is to perform dips. Dips can work out both your triceps and your chest. To hit the triceps you should do dips with elbows in and your body straight. To hit the chest you should lean forward and flare your elbows out. You will feel a great pump at the end.

So, what do you want out of your fitness plan? Whether it’s weight loss, toning or just improving the state of your health – you can succeed in your goals. Take the information above and use what works for you. It’s your body, take good care of yourself!
