Exercise, Fitness, Weight Loss – They All Go Hand in Hand

Exercise? Fitness? Weight Loss? If you don’t have a clue where to begin, start with something simple. There’s no need to sign up and pay hefty monthly fees to a gym if  you don’t want to.

Keep the cash in your pocket and buy something you’ve been wanting. Make it your reward for a job well done. There are many cost effective and fun ways to get a great workout in without stepping foot in a gym.

Fitness. We all want it, but exercising is hard at times. For some it’s downright painful. For others, very boring. How can we change all that?

in a word: KAIZEN. Kaizen is Japanese for “Constant Improvement”. in all areas of life. If it is done in the correct way, it virtually eliminates work that is overly difficult.  We will be using this philosophy  in our exercise, fitness, weight plans.

First of all, we want to find something that we enjoy doing. If we like it we will tend to stick with it much longer than if we don’t. Make sense?

Next we need to get into it in a way that allows us to start off small and build. For me, I chose martial arts. I enjoy it and it allowed me to start off as a beginner and advance all the way to a 2nd. degree black belt.

If you enjoy running, start off on a short jaunt, the next day go a bit further and pic up the pace very slightly, constantly improve on the day past in small doable increments.. Soon you’ll be going a mile plus each day.

Same goes with push ups or any other exercise that you might like to add.

Next check out one of the many exercise DVDs available to you in countless stores and online. or if video games are more your style, try theWii Fit It may cost a bit but it’s far less then a gym membership.

Thought I forgot about the weight loss, didn’t you?

We do the same with it as we did exercising.  Let’s say that you wanted to loose 20 pounds to fit into those jeans in the dresser drawer. (I was in your house. I know they are there!)

make a plan to loose 1-2 pounds A WEEK! This is doable and sustainable. Slowly start to cut fats, sugars, and salts from your diet and cut more as you progress. this way you won’t feel deprived.

Don’t forget to drink as much water as you possibly can

Put kaizen to work in your exercise, fitness, weight plans and eliminate the overly difficult tasks. You’ll soon see the world differently.
