Spring Into Fitness Week – Day 4

Today is all about Spring exercise tips. I find that there are two kinds of people when it comes to exercise. There are people that like to exercise and do it regularly and the other group are the people that know they should probably exercise but never get around to it. Well with the weather turning nice it is time to start thinking of exercise as a fun thing to do outdoors.

Spring Exercise Tips

Again I am going to give you a few tips that should help you out and at the same time hopefully inspire the non exercisers to see that it is easy to get started. I have also written a post on an 8 week Spring Fitness Program that you can check out.

1. Start slowly – No matter if you have been working out indoors for the Winter or not, it is important to start out slowly. I think that it is important to start walking, riding, or running (whatever you can do) for at least 15 minutes and you can work this up to 45 minutes a day or so. Any more than this and you will be working to long I believe. As soon as you can pick up the pace and the time but remember not to push too hard or it will take to long to heal and not be sore. You should be doing some kind of exercise 5 or 6 days a week.

2. Be Careful – As you are start doing whatever Spring exercise you are doing and this includes weightlifting you have to watch your form. I have sidelined myself many times by pushing too fast and not listening to my body only to be left a couple weeks in with swollen and really sore knees. Know your limits.

3. The Pain will be gone quick, I promise – No matter what you start for exercise you will have sore legs, arms, back, calves, all sorts of pain that you are not used to. As long as the pain is muscle stiffness you can work through it. Remember to drink lots of water for the muscle stiffness and know that the pain will go away fairly quickly. After two weeks or so your muscle stiffness will be gone and you will be fine

4. Change it up lots – Remember that your body is very adaptable. If you do the same kind of exercise or eat the same foods consistently your body will get used to it. So you have to change it up a lot. Move between all the things you can think of, sports, bowling, running, walking, riding, skateboarding, surfing, whatever you can do to keep everything changing around.

Good for today. I will have one more post to pull things together. I hope that you have liked these spring exercise tips and I will try to add to the list as I think of more.

Passing for Thin: Losing Half My Weight and Finding My Self

Passing for Thin: Losing Half My Weight and Finding My Self

From Publishers Weekly

Literary agent Kuffel chronicles how and why, at the age of 42 and a weight of around 313 pounds, she began the successful process of losing 188 pounds. She describes food binges, ill health (surgeons remove a 36-pound ovarian cyst) and frantic calls to her support group sponsor. But this is far more than 12-step, inspirational reading. Above all, Kuffel tells a great story. She possesses an eye for detail, a knack for dialogue and a remarkable sense of humor in the face of adversity. Mounting a treadmill at the gym for the first time in her life, she closes her eyes and misjudges her pace, “shooting off like a rejected can of Jolly Green Giant peas.” When she leaves Manhattan in an “August pall of hea…

Fast Fat Loss – 5 Tips to a Fast Fat Loss

Everyone who wants to lose weight wishes that his or her fat loss will be as fast as possible. Many diets promise just that with a varying degree of success and reliability. But there are some simple steps you can take that, regardless of the diet plan you’re using, can boost the pace of your fat loss.

5 tips to a fast fat loss

1. Write down what you eat – Carry around a small notepad in which you’ll write down what you eat and the time in which you do so. That way you’ll have a small task to give you pause between any sudden cravings you may have and satisfying them. You’ll also be able to go over what you eat every day and be much more aware of what you can cut back on.

2. Get a good night sleep – sleeping well is very important to keep a healthy physical balance. Sleeping also insures that all the systems in your body are working as well as they normally should and therefore are burning more calories and fat. If you don’t sleep well, your fat loss will slow down considerably. It is best to sleep 7. 5 – 8 hours each night.

3. Replace deserts with fruit – You can’t imagine how tasty a fresh and juicy piece of fruit can be. Fruit is often much tastier than regular deserts and is much healthier. Replacing your deserts with fruit will also cut down on the amount of useless calories, processed sugar and fat that you eat.

4. Tell everyone that you’re on a diet – Being on a diet should not be a secret and you shouldn’t hide it. On the contrary, if you know that the people around you know that you’re on a diet, it will get you much more motivated to succeed in what you’re doing.

5. Eat 4-5 medium sized meals a day – Eating 3 meals can prove disastrous to your fat loss quest, because when you eat 3 meals, each meal tends to be a large one. Your body has a hard time dealing with that amount of food all at once, so it does a poor job of digesting your food as well as it should, and it ends up converting more of your food into fat. Don’t overeat, just spread the amount of food into more meals.

Follow these 5 tips and you’ll enjoy a faster fat loss.
