Dear Fitness Friends,
If you're like me, you want to be in shape for the summer months.
Have you decided what you need to do in order to achieve this?
Knowing and doing are two different things.
You have to set your goals and devise a game plan.
Sometimes we have good intentions, but sometimes our intentions
are not good enough. You have to step into action!
What do you need to help you get to this point? Inspiration is
good, but we have to figure out what to do once our inspriation
starts to disappear. You may read fitness articles and watch movies
about people who are in shapre or are aspiring athletes.
That's all fine and good, but these are passive methods—and
while your are doing these things, you aren't moving your body!
That
is unless you have an exercise bike, treadmill, eliptical or some
other type of exercise equipment either at home, or you belong
to a gym.
If you aren't lucky enough to be able to exercise while reading
or watching t.v., find some type of exercise that you find fun.
If you don't find exercise fun, try to find an exercise partner
who does, and set up regular times to exercise together.
If all else fails, get out and start walking by yourself or treat
your favorite dog to a nice walk (if you don't have a dog,
do your neighbor a favor and walk their dog).
As you know, getting started is half the battle. I can't promise
you'll always enjoy your exercise, but you will like the way you
feel after you have exercised. Not only will you start feeling
better physically, you will start feeling better about your self--and
that can help inspire you to continue.
Get active and have fun!

What Is Your Fitness Personality
Establishing an exercise routine is something most Americans
know they need to do. However, many are unable to follow
through on the routines they plan. Part of the reason for
this is that people often plan activities that don't suit
their personalities, physical condition, circumstances
and location. Carefully analyzing these things before you
begin a fitness routine can contribute to your ability
to stick with it over the long run.
Ask yourself whether you have a lot of self-discipline, or
whether you require some outside motivation to stay on task.
If you're self-disciplined, running, walking or swimming
laps may be a sufficient and rewarding routine. However,
if you're a very social person, inviting a companion to join
you as you exercise may be beneficial. If you're the type
of person who is stimulated by learning new things, aerobics,
pilates or yoga classes may be more suitable. However, do
not count on money as a motivating factor. Many people have
expensive gym memberships that they never use, a waste of
money and of health benefits.
Your physical condition is also important in determining
what fitness routine will be appropriate for you. For example,
people with asthma or environmental allergies may have trouble
exercising outdoors where pollens and pollution can trigger
attacks. These people might get better results from indoor
swimming, where the air is filtered and the humidity can
help open sinuses and lungs. Similarly, people with arthritis
or joint injuries need to find low-impact exercise that will
not aggravate those conditions.
Finally, take a hard look at your circumstances. Is your
schedule regular enough to allow you to take a regular exercise
class? If you work irregular hours or changeable shifts,
an individual exercise program might be better for you. On
the other hand, if you are retired or stay home with a child,
a regular exercise class may give you just the incentive
you need to get out of the house.
Your location will also dictate the duration, time and components
of your fitness routine. If you live in a moderate climate
with little variation in temperature and precipitation, you
can count on being able to pursue the same routine year-round.
However, if you live in a climate where it gets excessively
hot during the summer or cold during the winter, you will
need to establish a mix of outdoor and indoor activities
in order to stay active year-round.

How To Do Weight
Loss Without The Diet
Each and every one of us has many different reasons why we may
want to lose weight. Some of these are to feel healthier, look
better, fit into your old clothes or even have been advised by
a medical practitioner to get in shape. However, these people
who battle constantly with their weight then they already know
how hard it is to stick to a diet. Most of these cases just don’t
work.
Slimming pills and weight-loss fads are of extremely limited effectiveness. Take into consideration the dangers of surgical procedures and the lack of long term studies of new fad diets as safe, reliable alternative is needed.
Weight loss requires some effort on your part just like everything
else worth achieving in life although many claim that there are
painless ways of losing weight. There techniques and tools to make
your transition to health much more enjoyable and easy. Paul McKenna
famous system is a great example and it has been tested on British
television with remarkable results and it didn’t involve hypnosis.
McKenna spent 13 years analyzing the behaviors of naturally thin people in order to devise his weight-loss system and found some amazing things. He found out the every person has an inborn weight control mechanism, a set point that attempts to maintain a particular amount of fat on the body. He formulated his easy to use weight-loss system based on this premise. He even allowed people to eat what they wanted and they still lost massive amounts of weight. - http://www.personal-development.info/weight-loss.html
When we go on a diet, we are forcing the body to adjust to a new way of eating and is in effect resisting the powerful totally natural urges the body has to prevent energy deficit. In addition, many people overeat due to stress or the desire to suppress negative emotions or feelings of discomfort. This is why the use of self hypnosis is so effective for weight loss because it can retrain the mind to view food, fitness and eating in more healthy ways.
But McKenna’s research shows that if you follow your own body’s
natural rhythm, you will be much more successful at losing weight.
Denying yourself certain things you set up resistance and you will
make it much more difficult to stick to your weight-loss plan.
The key is to stop denying yourself the foods you really enjoy
but to eat them in moderation. It is easier to say than done but
McKenna has some simple yet powerful techniques to ensure your
success. You can eat what you want.
Stop eating once you’re full. We need to learn to recognize that our body has sent the brain the message “right stop eating I’m satisfied” and
take heed of them.
Take an extra 15 minutes of exercise a day.
By following these simple steps, you are guaranteed success and a new healthy, fit body.
