Why do people take
mood altering drugs?
Because they want to feel different!
Most times, they want to feel better.
Did you know, exercise releases many
of those same feel good chemicals
in your brain that some drugs do?
Physical activity also burns up stress
chemicals, like adrenaline, which
promotes a more relaxed state of mind.
My favorite cardio exercise is the
Stair Master!
The physical benefits of
regular exercise include:
Protecting you from heart disease,
stroke, high blood pressure,
non-Insulin dependent diabetes,
obesity, back pain, osteoporosis.
I like to do 20-30 minutes on the
Stair Master and then keep my
heart rate up as I work thru
the machines. This helps keep
my metabolism revved up.
(You burn more fat..Yeah, baby!)
There are also two more benefits:
1. Exercising will improve your
physical appearance
2. Feeling better about your appearance
will give you more confidence and
will raise your self-esteem
**
When you begin working out, make sure
you FIRST concentrate mainly on
building up your core muscles.
(Back & Stomach)
This will help to prevent injury once
you start lifting heavier weights
for your arms & legs!
Don't let anything make you feel
like you can not exercise,
unless it is your Doctor!
Don't listen to others who want to
keep you down where they are.
Don't listen to all the excuses in
your head.
YOU CAN DO IT!!
Even if you just have to start
by walking for 15 minutes
every other day.
After 2 weeks, add more time
or an additional exercise.
Join a gym and use the training
offered to new members.
If you are already a member,
ask for some input to improve
your work out!
**
To be the best version of yourself you can be,
YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE!
To set the best example for those
who look up to you,
YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE!
To have the strength & stamina to enjoy
all those things you want to do later in life,
YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE!
**
So NO more excuses,
Pick the ONE day a week you will rest,
then plan how you will exercise the other
6 days of the week.
**
Once you begin exercising regularly,
your body will have a natural desire
to eat more healthy food.
This doesn't mean you will
totally loose your desire for
junk food, it means your body is
telling you it needs proper fuel.
We will discuss that soon!
