A few tips to stay fit properly Mikael Phoebus Apollo Mcnealy


ď‚—Regular physical activity is of great benefit to our

health. For our bodies to keep functioning at the level we want them to we have to keep our bodies moving. We need to care for our skeletal muscles, bones, and mind to achieve optimum health and a long lifespan.


ď‚—We have all seen older people that are weak and seem

to suffer from one health problem which is then compounded by another, then another one. So you say, alright that makes sense, but how can I fit it in with my busy life? Well, here are some suggestions by Mikael Phoebus Apollo Mcnealy for you to get fitness in your lifestyle.


ď‚—One of the main excuses that people make for not

exercising is that they do not have time for it. Look at your schedule and see where there would be time to fit in ½ hour on 3 to 4 days. Possibly this is a lunch hour, or before work. The options are yours, but once you see the available time that is when you need to fit your exercise in.


ď‚—Another excuse that people have is as simple as a lack

of motivation. Take a picture of yourself and compare it to one taken 10 years ago. Do you see a difference in your body or how you appear? Maybe you have to realize that it's time to take action. Maybe accountability is the answer for you.


ď‚—You could investigate hiring a trainer or going to a

gym for set classes. Also, it always helps to have a partner in exercise. Maybe your husband or friend would join you in your exercise plans.


ď‚—Many people say they find exercise boring or would

rather be doing other things. Try to find something that is fun for you. Consider activities that may be fun for you such as tennis, basketball, and swimming, running on the beach or something else that you like to do.


ď‚—Check it out on a calorie chart and see how many

calories you would use in a ½ hour time frame. Don't do the same activity each time you exercise. Walking on the treadmill each time gets pretty boring.


ď‚—Make good use of the time you exercise. Many

people spend an hour on the treadmill watching TV or reading a book. Make them work out intense. If you have time or energy to read a book while you are on the treadmill you are not working hard enough to make much of a difference.


ď‚—Some older people may fear an injury. Make sure you

have had a thorough physical exam prior to starting an exercise program. An equally important step is stretching and flexing your body prior to exercise and after exercising. Keep your joints flexible.


ď‚—Some people travel in their work. But this shouldn't

stop you from exercising and keeping fit. Most hotels now have gyms, swimming pools and areas to walk. If you prefer, find a mall and go for a power walk in the mall. During a lunch break try going for a power walk outside after being stuck in a conference room all morning.
