Health And Fitness For Life

Before you begin, take a moment to reflex on what are your fitness options.  Also, start to view fitness as a part of who you are and not some plan about losing weight and what you eat.  Start to look at fitness as a lifelong expression of movement that is focused on good health and a personal body image.  The main issue is to choose an activity that you love doing and makes you feel good about yourself each day.  Also, buy a special outfit just for you and a heart rate monitor watch that is suited just for you.

First change your mindset of what the word exercise means to you, your activity plan doesn’t have to consist of something where you have to sweat or grunt.  You can start in your home if you are not comfortable in a gym.  Walk briskly up and down your steps, use one step for a jump rope motion, buy an exercise tape to fit your needs or try gardening which is a good exercise and lowers stress.  However, if you need something more challenging join a karate, yoga, tai chi, or dance class.  Look for fun things that could include skating, biking and swimming.  For exercise and social interaction join a bowling or softball team.  Whatever activity you choose invest in a MIO Heart Rate Monitor to keep track of your progress.

The bottom line, allow yourself to choose something you love doing and it makes you feel good.
