Fitness and You

Integrating Fitness into your Daily Life

Many people believe that physical fitness is only beneficial for


looks or appearance, but the true benefits of physical activity are


found inside the body.  Being physically active has been positively


correlated to enhancing the efficiency of many bones and organs


throughout our bodies while also reducing the risks for coronary


heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The key to achieving these


internal and life-long benefits, is  maintaining motivation for


physical activity! How is it that people drag themselves to the gym


every single day? The vital aspect is to associate physical activity


with something you enjoy doing. Don’t immediately associate


physical activity with weights at the gym or dreadful workouts.


Find something that fits you! Certain workouts can be


very intimidating for people, however,keep in mind that there are many other ways to integrate fitness into


your lifestyle. Statistics say that 50% of adults’ dropout of their workout programs within six months. Park in the


back of the parking lot, take the stairs, and bike to school or work. Reward yourself, internally and externally.


After every exercise embrace the feeling that overcomes you to help savor the intrinsic reward


of exercising. After meeting a long-term goal, treat yourself to a new pair of workout shoes, or a new set of tunes to


keep the motivation alive and thriving ! Find a way to integrate fitness into your life in a way that is enjoyable.
