Setting Your Pace
When it comes down to having an exercise routine consistency is always going to be the key. You can have all the best intentions and have no results. Why you might ask? Well, the facts are simple you come in over-enthused with an unrealistic goal. You set out to complete this goal in an unrealistic time and you burn yourself out. then you no longer want to exercise. You’ve defeated your purpose and you feel defeated.
The Key
My recommendation is always. When it’s something that you really want “consistency is the key” remain slow and steady. Set your pace, it’s not a competition. Figured what works for you and stay consistent.
Brisk Pace
From beginners to seriously committed athletes and trainers, I would recommend taking a brisk walk elevating your heartbeat for at least 30 minutes a day on a regular occasion. This will produce benefits if you stay with it on a regular basis. It’s like everything else when you get accustomed to this add more to your routine. “It’s like coffee stirred to taste” You feel that you can do more push yourself.
Do More
Step It Up
When most people think of exercise, a picture of an oversized sweaty person, with a headband wearing a tank top comes to mind. While I can’t say that’s not the truth, is not always the case. There are many different ways to exercise. Believe it or not, some of your favorite things might just be an exercise. Some exercise that I come to enjoy. Such as mountain biking, dancing, gardening, and even some household chores. Remember it’s all about elevating your heartbeat, and getting out there and getting moving. A little info for me to you,” if you like it and you enjoy it it’s a good chance you’ll continue to do it”.
Reaping Your Rewards
Like anything when you stay consistent with something, you will see the benefits. Believe it or not, even if you’re not doing the recommended 30 minutes of exercise a day, and you’re doing 5 to 10 minutes, but you’re consistent. You will reap your benefits. The Center for Disease Control recommends for moderate-intensity physical activity “a person’s target heart rate should be 50% to 70% of their minimum heart rate”.
Different Kinds Of Activities
Aerobic Cardiovascular Activity
These are activities that really speed up your heart rate and your breathing such as cycling swimming running most of these fall into this category while these activities are considered strenuous, they are some of the best ways of elevating your heart rate.
Strength & Resistance
Either exercise that uses weights and body mass to help them produce the desired results, some of these exercises are ones such as:
These exercises are often used to build strength and muscle mass. Like everything else, I would recommend you to proceed with caution. There’s a lot of people with Injured themselves from improper weight usage. It’s not about hitting your max it’s about reps at least 10 sets 6 to 8 reps and when you feel you can do more add more it’s like, “Tim the tool man” all over again. More power now. I kid, but I’m serious.
“From me to you I know it’s hard looking around in the gym at all those muscle-bound guys, pretty women improving themselves. Here you are wanting to start somewhere. You are looking around hearing the sounds of Weights clinking, grants, and you thinking” this is not the place for me “I don’t belong here”
You’re wrong! that Gym is an all-inclusive space. It was made for people like you. If you want to improve yourself that is the best place to do it. Go for it. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. You shine like you want to shine, and don’t stop until the world sees you.
Stretch to flex
Words of caution
Words of caution stretching and warming up or not synonyms when you did the one you did not do the other take at least 5 to 10 minutes before your workout and stretch injuries can be prevented remember to be proactive, not reactive. When you’re done stretching move slowly into your exercise and accelerate. Until reaching your Peak. 30 to 45-minute. Whatever is your goal.
I think this is really helpful. I struggle with exercising because I exercise with friends who do it frequently. I’m not so fit. So, i guess i just need to find my own pace. Thanks!
