Whatever it is, how ever much you can do, get up and get active. I believe in this through and through.
I believe if we start at a very young age, people with be more inclined to exercise as they get older. I was placed in sports all my life and I loved it and miss it to this day. I swam to help my asthma. I payed soccer to make friends at first(just moved) then it was for the love of the sport. I keep my kids doing the same thing. All of them swim, dance, play outside on a daily basis, as long as it is not to hot. I kids have all the energy they have for it to be expelled. So I let them play and be kids I just make sure I am doing it as well to keep my body in shape and active.
There have been many time where I get lazy or depressed and I have to start all over again. It always hurts at the beginning, feeling fat, running slower, and always thinking everyone is looking at me. But I try not to give up, I make sure to push harder and harder every time I am back in the gym. I use to run a 15 min 2 mile and I am barely making a 10 min mile. But once I see the numbers I push hard to get back down just for one mile but soon it will be back to 2.
I believe that this is such a true statement. I find that when I work out I feel better about life. I have gone to the gym with many friends and we motivate each other as well as just feel better about ourselves and life. I know personally when I am stressed or upset after a good run everything seems to just melt away. If I know one thing it is coucling and many doctors, therapist, and psychologist, will encourage exercise because of what it does to and for the mind and body.
I will never be skinny I know that I was not built that way but I will be fit and happy. I just hope more and more people start to see this for what it is and do these things for themselves.
i have had a pretty active life, but i have also had a few low points as well. around 1999 i was really out of shape and on a vacation in vegas asked...er...demanded that who ever was in charge of the heavens help me. at the same time i enrolled in the gcc personal training certifification program after i lost the weight i wanted i began to assist people at ballys and la fitness- i even started a fitness bootcamp.
ReplyDeletemy first wife passed a way in 2005 and i kind of went into my 2nd downward spiral of leading a unhealthy life. diabetes came about from all the junk that i was eating and smoking was taking a toll. i have not had a cigarette since 10/10/10 and pretty much removed as much sugar as a can.
i go to the gym and do a lot of local hiking- and as you stated- i feel great but also know that its what i feel inside...not what is on the outside.
Hahahaha my active life has been like a roller coaster. I usually try to go to the zumba workouts at West gate when they do have it there, that is.
ReplyDeleteExercise it is important for everyone. you succeed about the way to encourage the reader do same what you like the audience do. The subject nice and funny some time. I agree with everything when start be harder but when continue will be easier in future. Good deal, when person sees he or she can do that.
ReplyDeleteI have never been the one to exercise but when i do I enjoy it. I guess don't have that much motivation for it.
