fitness plan
“My head will explode if i read another article about the best new exercise.”
“Every time I pick up a magazine or read the news, there is some new plan that’s a miracle.”
“I’ve tried every fitness plan – too much time and money, with little benefit.”
the real life fitness plan is simple.
keep it practical and fun. you cannot exercise yourself skinny, so don’t try. but, active muscles are anti-inflammatory so we do advise you to get moving! it doesn’t need to be endless hours in the gym or marathon training…just movement. do something active every day. spend time outside when possible. walk, jog, swim, dance, play sports, hike, rock climb, do yoga, kick box, run around after kids. whatever makes sense for your life. but keep it fresh and make it something that you enjoy doing. the goal is to get your heart rate up a bit and work up a sweat.
and we definitely recommend doing some resistance exercises. that doesn’t necessarily mean dumbbells and tank tops and grunting. just something that makes your muscles resist gravity—pushups, lunges, sit-ups, pull-ups. put that body weight to work for you! no gym required and no crazy machines required. and that means, no excuses. resistance excerises help to build and define muscle which you want. muscle helps with burn and metabolism and, it helps to reshape your body.
the goal is to find some activities that you enjoy doing and make exercise a part of your lifestyle. it doesn’t need to be a chore or extra strenuous, unless you are into all that. hey, if bootcamps are for you then, do it. we want you doing things that make sense for you and that help you get some endorphins flowing so you feel better and look better too.
