Exercising at Home - Tips for Success
Improving you fitness or achieving weight loss is not rocket science, yet so many people give up before they even start. The following tips will help you get there: NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING! Seems obvious, but if you delay starting until you have the right outfit, or put off until tomorrow what could be started today, you are simply delaying reaching your goal. START SMALL: You don’t have to start with a marathon! Research has shown that 10 minutes 3 times a day can reduce heart disease. Start with a 10 or 15 minute workout and build up to 30 or 40 minutes over a week or two. You can do it! HANG IN THERE FOR THE FIRST 6 WEEKS: It may feel you might never get there, but I promise, with consistent workouts for 6 weeks, you will not only feel better but you will see results! Three forty minute sessions three times a week will really pay off! REWARD YOURSELF: Little rewards can pave the way for success. Instead of procrastinating on your workout be ringing your friends, phone your friends as a reward for your workout. This is a simple but effective technique. GET YOUR HEART RATE UP: Brisk walking, roller skating, rowing, dancing, swimming are all great ways to increase your heart rate. Getting it up and keeping it up for at least 20 minutes increases your stamina and burns body fat. If you are unable to whistle during your exercise routine, then you’re working to hard. BOOST YOUR METABOLISM BY INCREASING LEAN MUSCLE: Any activity that uses your muscles will increase your lean tissue which in turn speeds your metabolic rate. This is the key to effective weight loss. Home exercise including Pilates for core strength, Yoga poses, using resistance bands and exercise ball routines are all great ways to increase your lean muscle tissue. DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE! Include relaxation as party of your home regime, your body will love you for it. Sit or lie quietly in a room without distractions and take a few complete breaths, fully expanding your ribcage up and out. Focusing on your breathing will help to let go of any chaotic thinking that may be present. Do this a few times a day and notice how much calmer you feel and how your ability to cope increase. Some of the things you should consider when choosing your exercise regime include: · How often you plan to exercise
· How long each session will be
· What level of intensity will your workout be
· How much space you have at home
· How much money you are prepared to spend
· Whether you have any injuries or health concerns. This is a good time to mention that if any injuries or health concerns are present, be sure to get the okay from your doctor or health practitioner first. Once you have the go ahead, now you’re ready to get started! |
