Improve Fitness In Your Life

By Jacob Russell


Obesity rates in the U. S. are continuing to rise. Quality food is accelerating in price faster than processed prepared meals and sweets, and huge, unworkable gym contracts are making the prospect of escaping our sedentary life-styles more menacing by the day. With such a huge media focus upon maintaining fitness and trim, finding paths to fit in exercising is more crucial than previously.

No Wait, Less Weight

It's bad enough to spend all day sitting down at work, but sitting around in waiting rooms is just wasted time. Whether you are at the hospital or college, ask the receptionist how long you should expect to wait, and make sure you've got a ticket to be seen immediately. Stroll around the building a couple of times. There isn't any reason not to keep moving while you get back five or ten minutes early.

Don't be a Couch Potato

Letting a complete night slip away in front of the telly is as fun as it is simple. Do not simply sit around, consider lifting some light weights while watching, nothing too intensive. Then always consider jogging on the spot during the lifeless parts. Whatever you do, ditch the remote! Always get up and go to the telly yourself, whether or not it's just for something easy like a volume boost. It's not much effort, but it adds up compared to sitting for hours more at a time.

Extend your Travel

Let's start off with a noticeable one, and that's walking to work. If it is too far consider cycling, and if that is not possible then just park five or ten minutes farther away than standard. It isn't a big difference, but an additional 20 minute walk spread over the day can have major effects. In a similar fashion, don't just go to the nearest corner shop for your paper and drinks, head a few streets further down, or maybe to the city centre. Pushed for time? Then walk round the block instead of straight back home.

Keep on your Toes

Occasionally we just have to stand around, perhaps we are waiting for an elevator ( when we should be taking the steps ) or letting a pot boil. In these cases try some standing exercise. Stretch out onto your tip toes till you feel the burn in your calves and you must keep shape better. If you're by a wall or counter then put your hands against it at shoulder width apart, and try one or two standing press-ups. The more horizontal the better, though as long as you're moving you are still making progress.

Get Fit!

It can be more and more difficult to find the time to put aside and exercise for 'real'. But real exercise opportunities are everywhere, if you simply select to search for them. Follow this advice and think up a few of your own, and it should be straightforward to keep moving through the whole day. It takes time and patience to reach your fitness targets, but each and every one is realizable with enough effort.
