What's your routine for keeping in good physical condition? Do you have any tips to share with those that are either looking to start getting into shape or wanting to improve their level of fitness?
I think of fitness as a stool which needs three "legs" to keep it upright and in balance.
The first of these is diet.
The second of these is exercise.
The last is sleep.
These three factors as, IMHO, the most important in not only keeping fit, but also in enjoying a pleasant and enjoyable life.
Before joining a gym I would show myself that I am committed. I would show myself that I was committed by creating a short workout to do and the amount of times each week I would do it and record my progress. Chances are if you cant stick to this for a month a gym membership would be a waste of money.
3 times a week I would
-jog for 12-15 minutes
-20 push ups
-20 sit-ups
-20 jumping jacks
-walking lunges & jumping lunges for 12 yards
-some various cardio (skip rope, steps, etc)
Dont forget to drink lots and good luck
You wont see results insatiately but give it a month or so and this will get easier and easier. At that point make the workout harder.
I throw sacks of puppies for great distances every morning.
