Your fitness level has a lot to do with how much you enjoy your life and how healthy you are. The machine age has created a population of people who are inactive and lazy. You're only hurting yourself if you become a couch potato. If you think you have to train like a marathon runner in order to be fit, you couldn't be more mistaken. The opposite is true, in fact. A no-frills workout program won't take a lot of time. You also may be surprised at what happens once you start. You will be so excited when you see your improvement, that you will be motivated to increase your exercise.
Take your time and add to your routine gradually. Play it smart and safe, especially if you have been inactive for a long time. A lot of people haven't worked out, or done anything physical, for years. Some people have been sedentary since they left school! If you're in your middle to late thirties, your first stop should be to your health care provider to get a clean bill of health for proceeding with an exercise program. It's also important, when you are planning your workouts, to consider any pre-existing health issues you might have.
When your doctor has given you the green light, start slow and always warm up with some upper and lower body stretches. All you need to do to benefit from a cardio workout is to exercise enough to bring your heart rate up into your target range. There is information online on how to compute your target heart rate. If you don't use your body to the fullest extent you can, your body will slowly deteriorate. To keep in shape, you need both daily exercise and food that provides the proper nutrition to keep your energy level up. The first step is to begin - it doesn't matter what you choose.
As you progress, your body will know what you should be doing next. Start with any type of exercise that grabs your attention. Then, listen to your intuition and you will be drawn towards the type of exercise routine your body craves. To put it another way, not only will your physical body start to improve and feel better, but your mind will also benefit and your thinking will become clearer. Furthermore, your joy when you see the progress you are making will encourage you to keep up the good work.
To have better health for your children, you need better health for yourself, as the parents. The children have a better chance of doing what they are being asked, when they see their parents walking the walk. Talking things over in a family meeting is something that must be done. Then, you can all decide as a family what would be a fun way to get in better shape. Working out as a family has many benefits. Most family problems stem from lack of communication. So, doing workouts using the recumbent exercise bikes as a family can reap many benefits. Most people don't really have an excuse for not adding a workable exercise program to their life. The important factor is to find an exercise plan that you enjoy. This way, it will work to your benefit. In order to keep your interest - and avoid boredom - you have to enjoy your workouts. Figure out what you like to do, visit your doctor, and then get started. Once your doctor gives you the green light, collect any specific gear you need for your chosen plan and patiently begin. And remember, avoid injury in every way you can. Of course, this means don't plan a fitness program designed for a teen-ager.
