How To Get Yourself Back In Shape
The secrets are more simple than you might think.
You work hard. Despite your hectic work schedule and multi-tasking galore, you get things done. If you were a car, you'd be a hybrid between a rugged SUV and sleek sports car, right? The ironic part is you spend hundreds--if not thousands--to keep your car running smoothly, but sometimes neglect your own fitness training to keep up with your schedule.
So, we put together some helpful tips to keep your own internal engine running smoothly:
Diet. It makes a Difference.
We've heard it a thousand times, a well-balanced diet combined with an exercise program are the keys to a healthy mind and body.
A well-balanced diet includes plenty of protein, fruits, vegetables, milk & dairy, and whole grain foods. Cutting back on calories isn't enough; too few calories won't provide you with the energy you need to make it through your day.
And despite what some popular diets will have you believe, carbs are the fuel for your engine when you exercise.
Exercise. You Design the Plan.
Creating your own version of a health club in your home isn't difficult. In fact, there are local fitness shops that will design a computer-model of the fitness room of your dreams--or a scaled down version of it--FREE of charge. Sim ly tell them how you exercise, and they'll recommend an equipment package or piece that is right for you.
Ratings, they're not just for TV & radio.
Getting an ISO-9001 rating on a product is coveted by manufacturers of all kinds--from car makers to exercise equipment manufacturers. And keep in mind, not all exercise equipment has it. So before you buy, ask if the equipment you're considering has received a ISO-9001 rating.
How do you benefit from being fit? Let us count the ways:
• Exercise and a proper diet decrease stress & anxiety
• Your metabolism increases
• Fat and excess calories burn off more quickly
• Your stamina increases
• Muscle tone and strength increase, lessening injury
potential
• Lung capacity and neural functions increase, resulting in
quicker reflexes and better coordination
• Routine exercise decreases resting heart rate, a sign of
improved fitness level
• It also helps to decrease effects of cardiovascular
disease, diabetes (type II) and hypertension
• And it improves your quality of sleep
Ready to Get Started?
If you haven't exercised in a while, it's always a good idea to start off slowly, and consult a physician before starting a new exercise program. Once you do begin, remember:
• Balancing cardio and strength training can maximize your
training.
• A minimum of 3 to 4 days a week, and approximately up
to 45 minutes (or more) a day of exercise is ideal. Work up
to it, and watch your energy-level skyrocket!
• Stretching, warm-up and cooling down should always be
incorporated into your exercise program.
• Stay hydrated...both before and during your workout.
Eight ounces of fluid for every 15 minutes of exercise is
recommended.
• And again, if you have a health condition, consult a
physician before starting a new program. |

FREE YOUR RADIO.
Radio can be a magical thing. The ability to transport you and let you escape to a different place, a special environment…this is what radio does best. Sadly, in recent years many radio stations have lost their way...
