Reasons to Exercise

Blog General· Exercise

12 Mar

We’ve passed that time of New Year, where we make new year resolutions, but most of us never end up keeping up with them.

You know the ones…I’ve made them myself.

  1. Lose weight.
  2. Tone up.
  3. Get fit.
  4. Eat healthy.

Now look at them again.  They’re all aims, or things I’d like to achieve, but there’s nothing in there about how to achieve them.  A better list for me might look like this.

  1. Lose 10bs Fat by May.
  2. Track daily food and activities using My Fitness Pal.  Log all meals.
  3. Meal plan on Sundays to ensure buying healthy foods when shopping.
  4. Run 5k, 3x week.
  5. 30 minute Kettlebell workout, 2 days week.

There were no actual goals in the original list.  Having a way to measure what we do, as we progress is a great way to go.  Using a tracking app, and ensuring you log daily, both exercise and food, is a free option, and it’s difficult to argue with what you write, when you see it on your screen in black and white.

For someone who wants to run, a goal might be to start a programme similar to C25K, or Couch to 5k, which is an 8-10 week programme, depending on how you sign up, either by app, or on the website and download the podcasts to follow while you run.  By the end of those 8 weeks, the goal would be to run for 30 minutes non stop.  And as difficult that is to achieve when you start, it’s a huge achievement to get to the end, even if you have to repeat weeks.

Losing weight and getting fit isn’t a fad.  It has to be a long term lifestyle, and one that’s able to fit into your daily life.

Reasons to Exercise

  1. Endorphins make you feel good.
  2. It will fit your budget.  Whether you join a gym, get a personal trainer, or work out at home, there are options for everyone.
  3. Your cardiovascular health improves with sensible regular exercise.
  4. Get out and explore your surroundings.  Meet new people, or go it alone.  Whichever personality type you are, there is a perfect exercise plan for you.  If you’re pushed for anything else, get out there and walk.  It’ll do you good.
  5. Self-esteem.  Think of that feel good moment when you finish a long run, or complete a race, or lift a new weight, or do a few more burpees.  Just finishing is more than good enough when we start out.
