Fit Into That Dress: Get Fitter in 2013!!
Everyone is making their New Years Resolutions. More often than not, folks resolve to lose weight and get in shape. Intentions are good but time is limited with busy schedules and hectic lives. Before you know it the best intentions are lost in the shuffle. How does one stick with it? We all know that a healthy lifestyle includes exercise, but how do we do it?
First, make realistic goals. Try to do activities you enjoy. Exercise with someone or a group. Walk with a friend or join the gym. Be realistic about your capabilities. Start out slowly and increase the time and intensity of your workout gradually.
Secondly, do your best to stick with it. It takes time and repetition to make exercise routines a habit. Try to make exercise a regular part of your schedule. As time passes you will find it becomes easier and easier to maintain your exercise routine.
Next, utilize community resources to help you with your fitness goals. It’s good to have knowledgeable instruction to help establish your exercise program. It can help you avoid unnecessary pain and injuries. The Frank W. Stevens Wellness Center (located on the ADMC campus) can provide you with individualized instruction to meet your needs.
Above all, make it your priority to exercise and improve your fitness level. Any regular exercise can help you improve your overall health. It’s well documented that improved fitness and weight loss can reduce your blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Thirty minutes a day three times a week is a great way to start. The health benefits from regular exercise more than offset the sweat and effort expended.
Be sure to check with your physician before you start a fitness program, then go for it. You’ll be glad you did!
Enjoy!
