We said we would talk about all things regarding health . Today we would like to talk about exercise. Exercise is not only for those who want to lose weight but also to maintain a healthy body.
We would like to consider what exercise could be the most beneficial for you and that you would do and like. If you have never exercised, it would be a good idea to consult with your doctor to get their opinion. Just start slowly and you can increase the intensity of the exercise as you develop or increase your fitness levels.
What exercise do we recommend? This is a small list and maybe you can get some ideas.
Walking – the cheapest and easiest
Golf
Playing with the kids – they are energetic and you need to move
Take the dog for a walk
Join a gym – see if you can get a visitors one day pass to try first
Yoga
Pilates
Tai Chi
Tennis
Swimming
Aerobics
Dancing
This list could go on and on but you think about what you want. All we want you to do is to stay motivated and lose weight and regain your fitness, while you are enjoying yourself. Remember a healthy diet is also necessary
I prefer myself, to combine a flexibility discipline and a weight bearing exercise.I actually do weights and yoga. The reason for this is that recent studies have proven that weight bearing exercises improve bone density. This will lower the risk of osteoporosis.
The motto should be “just do it” and watch the results you are getting. Someone recently joined our yoga group and within 6 months, her body shape has totally changed and she has lost weight. She is ecstatic – and why shouldn’t she be.
I tell you more in the next blog – have a great day!
