The Importance of Exercise
Even in today’s busy lifestyle, good Quality of life is highly
appreciated and one big part of that quality comes from wellbeing.
Many of us are willing to invest time, money and effort to remain active
throughout life.
Exercising regularly is the best way to be fit and healthy and remain
that way and from today’s large range of sports everybody can
find something that fits to his/her personal preference and brings
pleasure to everyday life.
The main goal for everyone should be to get and maintain a good physical
condition. This does not mean pumping iron everyday! It means looking
after your body and making your sure you keeping your heart healthy
by exercising at least 3 times a week.
Making changes
Even minor changes in your everyday routine can bring remarkable results!
For example, ditch that car! Walking for 30 minutes burns up to 300
calories or more depending on your pace.
If you cycle or walk to work you are getting more exercise on top of
the exercise sessions you should be doing during the week.
Now for solutions to your excuses:
Excuse No. 1: “I’ll get really hot and
sweaty if I walk or cycle to work and I’ll be in my work clothes”
Solution: Wear a comfy T-shirt and/or jumper when
you walk to work, take a deodorant with you and change in the toilets.
Same goes for make up-do it when you get there! Shoes-wear your trainers
and change into your work shoes at work. All you need is an extra carrier
bag or rucksack to put your things in and this will also double up
as a weight while you are walking!
Excuse No. 2: “It’s too cold!”
Solution: Unfortunately we are blessed with living in a country where
it is cold for 10 months of the year but you know what?.... fast walking
for anything over 10 minutes will warm you up in an instant!
