How
To Be More Physically Fit: Tips 51 - 60
51.
Control those Cravings
If you are like
any other person on the face of the planet, you have cravings
for sweet foods. To help with these cravings, you can use Normoglycaemia
to help normalize your blood glucose levels. This supplement
is very rich in magnesium, B Vitamins, and Chromium and has
been proven successful for many years.
52.
Fitness
Fitness is just
as important as health, and in reality, fitness correlates directly
with our health. If we are not taking care of our bodies, we
get sick. Here are some great recommendations to keep fit:
53.
Bicycling
When you ask many
adults when the last time they rode a bike is, they cannot answer.
Although bicycling is a favorite pastime, many adults do not
take advantage of this great option for exercise. Not only does
bike riding exercise the body and build a stronger cardiovascular
system, it allows you to get out and enjoy nature, fresh air,
and see new sites.
54.
Jogging or Walking
Both jogging and
walking are GREAT ways to get fit. Not only do they tone the
muscles, relieve stress, create a healthier heart, and improve
lung capability, they make you look wonderful, which in turns
helps you get excited about doing other exercise for fitness.
55.
Swimming
Swimming is an
excellent way to get into and stay in shape. If you do not own
a pool, many high schools have aquatic centers, or there is
always the YWCA or YMCA, or your local gym. Many offer water
aerobic classes that will help you tighten your body, lose weight,
and get a good overall workout.
56.
Tennis Anyone
Tennis is not only
a fun sport, but also a great way to exercise. You do not have
to be a Venice Williams to play; in fact, you do not even have
to be good. Just running after the ball alone will help get
you into shape. This is a great way to strengthen your cardiovascular
system and lose weight. You can find tennis courts in just about
every city and if you would like to play but have no idea how,
lessons are reasonable.
57.
Dancing
Dancing is so much
fun and whether you enjoy a slow, Ballroom dance or a nightclub
packed with people all moving to heart-pumping techno, as long
as you are moving, it really does not matter what type of dance
or music. The whole idea is to move your body. Dancing has long
been recommended as an avenue to fitness.
58.
VCR
If you have a VCR
or DVD, rather than just using it for your favorite comedy or
action-packed movie, try sticking in some good workout tapes.
Even taking 15 minutes every day to workout will get you started.
Try that for two weeks and you will be surprised at the results.
Once you see that 15 minutes a day makes a difference, you will
be encouraged to increase the time spent.
59.
Abdominal Crunches
While you may not
end up with a washboard stomach, you can do some things to get
your abdomen in better shape. Crunches have long been a favorite
for many athletes for the very reason that they work. Lying
on your back with knees bent, keeping feet flat on the floor,
cross your hands across your chest and then curl your torso,
rolling from your sternum toward your hips. Do this slowly and
start out with a set of ten crunches in three reps. In other
words, do ten crunches, wait a minute, do ten more, wait a minute,
and then do the final ten. As you get accustomed to these, you
can increase both the number of sets and reps.
60.
Squats
Squats are excellent
for glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves. With your feet standing
firm and spread apart about two feet, bend your knees slightly.
Then, very smoothly, you will squat toward the floor without
going all the way down. This usually takes some practice but
within a short period, you will enjoy the benefits.
