Have you hit the big 4-0 yet? They say ( a group of bar patrons as they left the local watering hole ) that life gets better after thirty. Having dreaded that milestone and passing it with fairly little discernable damage – I’d have to agree. Although all my years have had their fun moments – those since turning 30 have seen entirely new levels of fun and excitement! Maybe those folks were right! One key to maintaining and even expanding upon your sense of enjoyment is your health.
The better your fitness level the more fun you can have! Really!!
People over 40 who get regular exercise live longer and are less likely to suffer physical disability than those who choose not to exercise. You don’t need to join an expensive health club or gym to enjoy the many benefits of regular exercise.
Make today Day 1 of your new fitness program!
Take your time and don’t overdo it in the early going. Pushing yourself too hard too often leads to injury. In the early going you might want to exercise three times per week. As you gradually increase your endurance and start building muscles you can safely add another day or two to your weekly workout regimen. Give your body the rest it needs and always stretch before and after your exercise.
Enjoy playing new or different sports. Vary your workouts with different exercises. Have you ever tried tennis or swimming? Many healthy fitness lovers enjoy the benefits from low-impact water exercises. Choose different exercise routines and gradually build your times and intensity. For the best results - enjoy a variety of sports and workout routines! Have fun! Your fitness habits will be much easier and hopefully last you a lifetime – if you enjoy the journey!
Whether you want to lose a few pounds or enhance your physical performance, you’ll see results sooner if you establish reasonable short-term goals! Then take massive action toward meeting your goals. Try rewarding yourself as you reach each milestone. Buy yourself a new tennis racquet or a hot, new two-piece after you lose those first 5 or 10 pounds. Or take the family out to your favorite eatery after you run your first complete mile – or two! Keep your goals reasonable and within reach - you’ll accomplish them sooner! Then, set new goals!
Many healthy fitness lovers enjoy early morning exercise. What a great way to start your day! That early morning workout will leave you feeling more energized for the rest of the day!
You don't have to spend a fortune joining the local health club. Get some simple and inexpensive home fitness equipment and exercise at home whenever you feel like it!
Once you get started on the habit of regular exercise, you won’t ever want to quit!
