The following ten fitness tips are that we interviewed two long-term fitness enthusiasts-Roy? Stevens and his wife, Ms. Wanda, who gave up the fitness program many times, summed it up. Of course, Dr. Klein also gave us a lot of advice.
1, do your favorite sports.
There are no fitness rules that say you must go to the gym or need fitness equipment to keep fit. Dr. Klein pointed out: We must change our ideas. Fitness does not mean doing a series of strict standard exercises, but requires our physical activities. Various forms of fitness methods, such as lifting dumbbells, walking, jogging, table tennis, cycling, aerobics and so on. Let you exercise anytime, anywhere.
2. Find a fitness partner.
Being accompanied is a very important reason why I keep exercising. Mrs. Stevens said that if there was no company that day, I might not do sports. On the contrary, if one day I meet a friend jogging, I will definitely not break my word. With the support of her husband Stevens, she has been exercising for six weeks now. Roy is a management consultant. He works part-time as his wife's personal fitness trainer. They do fitness gymnastics together every morning, and there are some activities to exercise strength and flexibility. Even if Roy is away on business for a few days, he will call his wife every morning and ask her to take her dog for a jog.
3. Everything is based on exercise.
There is nothing to discuss, Stevens said. I remember that 20 years ago, when he was still working in an air force band, he had already controlled his weight through exercise. When we go out to perform, others just want to eat and drink when they get off the bus, but I'd rather go running. Even in the busiest years-when he was in charge of a restaurant-I still kept the good habit of exercising. Another advantage of doing this is that if you are familiar with your relatives and friends, you won't say anything. Why don't you relax today? I'm sorry to bother you with such words.
4. Try to exercise in the morning.
I remember that because two children didn't go to school, Mrs. Stevens really couldn't find any spare time to exercise except once or twice. Even if you want to go for a walk after dinner, you may be interrupted by some trivial things. But since she deliberately got up early, because the child is still sleeping, she has time to exercise. Mrs. Stevens said: I didn't think I would be an early riser! Even experts agree that morning exercise is the best. If you are used to going to the gym, you'd better go to work by the way. Dr Klein pointed out that taking a hot bath after exercise will make you full of energy all day.
Go to exercise after work, and then go home.
This is another option after morning, that is, to exercise on the way home from work. Not going home after work, Dr. Klein pointed out: the survey found that almost no one is serious enough to go home from work and change clothes before coming out to exercise.
Even if you are tired, you can do some exercise.
Because you are likely to feel better after exercise. That will make us regain our motivation. Dr. Klein said: Exercise, take a deep breath and make full use of the fresh oxygen in your body. Soon you will feel the pleasure of exercise. For Stevens and his wife, even if she feels tired and doesn't want to get up early to exercise, Roy, as her husband, won't have the slightest pity. Roy said: She will be angry at first, but she will feel much better after exercise.
7. Keep a fitness diary
Try to write down something related to fitness, such as how much exercise you should get every day, how many miles you should run or how many dumbbells you should lift. Many sports enthusiasts like to think of sports as games. You may have heard that some people will figure out how many kilometers it is from home to Boston (the birthplace of marathon), and then calculate when they will arrive in Boston according to the number of kilometers they run every day. This is their goal.
8. Tell yourself that the effect of fitness has come out.
It must be a great feeling when you find that your clothes have become more fit and your strength or endurance has increased. In fact, it is necessary to prove that our physical fitness has improved, and there are other aspects that can be shown. We can notice several improvements in our daily life:
Improve the quality of sleep at night
Clearer thinking and more energetic.
Even after fatigue, muscles will no longer be sore.
I feel that my heart is no longer racing.
The doctor praised your blood lipid, blood pressure and blood sugar.
9. Let pets exercise with themselves.
Dr. Klein said that it is a good choice to take the dog jogging. It is also the exercise method she recommended to her sister: they go jogging every other day, which is not only good for people and dogs, but also increases communication with each other. Mrs Stevens also likes running with her sheepdog now, because she thinks it has another advantage: I used to feel that I didn't communicate with her much, and now I don't, and we joke from time to time.
10, reward yourself appropriately.
Experts say that instead of constantly changing the form of exercise to keep yourself going, it is better to reward yourself. Set a goal and a reward for achieving it, and then move towards it. For example, when you stick to a month's exercise plan, you can reward yourself with a genuine CD from Zhang Xinai, or reward yourself with a pair of new sports shoes when you can keep running for two kilometers every day. In any case, you can try any reward that can motivate you to stick to it.
Finally, I hope everyone can develop good fitness habits and exercise a healthy and energetic body!
