If you’re new to the fitness lifestyle and not a fan of exercise, at least for now (that may change) it’s not a bad idea to get it out of the way early in the morning before you have a chance to talk yourself out of it. At the end of a long day it can be easy to rationalize yourself out of exercise; you’re too tired, you have responsibilities to take care of at home, or you could even have more work to do. But if you get up early and get in a short workout, you will start the day incredibly refreshed and energized. You will be able to tackle the day like never before. Consistency is the key to getting and staying fit. You need to change your old, bad habits into good ones. You can’t take off a week here or there and expect to see results and trim the fat. You need to be consistent and workout regularly. Try to do your morning fitness routine Monday to Friday before your typical work/school obligations. Start with something simple like and early morning walk and build up over time develop that routine into a jogging session. Check with your doctor before beginning any exercise routine. Limit the workout to 30 minutes and try to extend the length of your run, or the speed that you complete it as time goes on. There is no getting around it. It takes mental toughness to get out of bed early and do a workout. You will find that making this happen will transcend into other facets of your life. Your ability to take on challenges with confidence will increase. Everything will become easier because you are not only making your body stronger you are also strengthening your mind. Your early morning run will become something you yearn to do. It will set the winning tone which will carry you through the day. Most importantly fitness is about feeling good. Have you ever heard of a runner’s high? The body releases “feel good” endorphins which give one that runner’s high. Endorphins are neurotransmitters that give one a sense of well-being. It’s part of the addictive attraction of exercise, particularly running. So why not start your day feeling great? Make running part of your fitness routine and you won’t regret it. Strength and flexibility should also become a part of your fitness routine over time. As you learn to enjoy working out and see the benefits it brings, you will naturally want to do a little more. It may seem hard to believe but the feeling and the great looks can be more alluring than the urge to sit on the couch and vegetate. At any rate, you will want to add some strength exercises and some kind of stretching routine into your workout for overall long-term health. This could be something as simple as a few body weight exercises (e.g. push ups, lunges, crunches) and 10 to 15 minutes of stretching a few times a week. The more adventurous you get the more you may want to join a gym to do weight training or practice yoga. Whatever you decide, understand that you want to be strong and flexible, as well as have endurance and good cardiovascular health. If you want to learn more about fitness visit impactfitnessinc.com.
