HEALTH n' FITNESS

I'm certain at midnight a large population of people will tell their
first lie of the new year when they say "I'm going
to start working out more." I must
confess, that's me too – each and every year I start out with great intensions
but between January 1st and January 20th something
happens.
I understand that
physical
activity
helps you lose weight, and that it may only take 20 to 30 minutes of
aerobic activity (i.e., walking, running, swimming anything that gets your heart
pumping) three or more times a week, can and should help melt away the extra
weight. But man, with my so-called busy day, I just can't carve out that
time, especially in the winter.
I just spoke
to a trainer, at a local fitness gym, who has designed a simple workout regime
for me. For the most part, he
encourage me to start our slow and to spread my workout through the entire day
such as 20-25 minutes in the morning, and another 20-25 minutes in the evening
(or any combination of morning, afternoon, and evening that will work). Plus, stay away from fast foods, and do
NOT eat after 8pm (or within two hours before going to bed) for one month. He almost guaranteed that I will see
results, as well as just feel better physically, which is half the battle.
So, I'm confessing
all of this to you, our Amateur Sports family, I'm going to give it a strong
shot as you as my witness. So, if you see me out somewhere, don't joke me, just
encourage me to stick to this plan ☺.
NOTE: I plan on
getting started February 1, 2009. Wish me luck!!!
