How
To Be More Physically Fit: Tips 81 - 90
81.
Medication and Exercise
If you are on scheduled
prescription medication, you should know that some drugs could
have a negative affect if mixed with exercise. Some can cause
the heart to work too hard or you might not sweat as needed,
to mention a few. If you are taking medication, before you start
any exercise program, consult with your physician to ensure
there are no harmful effects.
82.
Cool Down
Just as warming
up for exercise is important, cooling down after exercise is
just as important. Once you have completed your workout, take
five to 10 minutes to walk, or stretch to allow your body to
cool down. This is very important for the muscles and joints
and for the heart and lung.
83.
Walk the Dog
Instead of just
opening the back door to let the dogs out, put them on a leash
and go for a nice walk. They will appreciate the new scenery
and you are doing yourself a great justice.
84.
Lunchtime
Instead of eating
a heavy lunch, put together something light and easy and go
for a walk. You can sip on a protein drink or snack on fruit
while enjoying a nice brisk walk before heading back to the
office. You will feel refreshed and more invigorated for your
afternoon tasks.
85.
Bowling
Get some exercise
by joining a bowling league. You can find a league for just
about every level of bowler as well as any day and time of the
week. This is a great way to get out and have some fun while
also exercising. Yes, bowling does count as exercising.
86.
Set Goals
Set a goal for
yourself, perhaps four to six weeks. By breaking up your time
into workable chunks of time instead of looking out an entire
year, you will have a much easier time meeting your goals and
staying on track as well as encouraged.
87.
Neurobics
This is a new term
coined by researchers from the United States relating to ways
in which to get the brain activated with its own biochemical
pathways. The goal is to have the brain strengthened and energetic.
Positive thinking has long been proven to help with illness
and disease so the theory is that an energetic mind is also
good for fitness.
88.
Fitness and Food
Certain foods provide
specific benefits for people who workout. If you need quick
energy or planning to run a 4K or 10K and need to accelerate
your metabolism, bread, grain-based food, sugar, and honey are
great choices. If your goal is to burn fat, you should eat peas,
oat bran, pasta, rice, beans, lentils, and soya beans.
89.
Interval Training
As a way to improve
your fitness in a speedy manner and lose weight, try interval
training. This means that you where your workout intensity varies.
This is beneficial to your workout and fights workout boredom.
90.
After Exercise
When you have completed
your exercise regimen, instead of eating carbohydrates, grab
some fresh fruit or water. The reason is that for a minimum
of an hour after exercise, the body is still breaking down fat.
You need to allow the body to finish doing its job.
