Being fit can make such a difference in your life. It’s not just the way it makes you feel so much better every day, fitness can energize and transform your lifestyle. Improving your health through exercise is the first step towards living life to the full. Just small changes, such as making time for a fast-paced walk during your lunch break, can kick start your fitness goals.
Most people have some desire to be fit. It’s not just the unavoidable images of perfect bodies in magazines or on social media. Often there’s the memory of how your body used to be, maybe a few years ago or in childhood.
Running for fun without getting out of breath, having the energy to dance, or being able to hike up the local hill.
Sometimes it feels as though your fitness vanishes overnight. You’re distracted by work and family and feel you don’t have time for your normal fitness regime. One day you look in the mirror and think – “What happened?”
Losing fitness doesn’t really happen overnight but the good news is making the effort to get fit can start to have an impact quickly.
Just making little changes, a 20-minute fast-paced walk every day at lunchtime, taking the stairs, a 15-minute yoga session. These little changes can all add up and help you get back in shape.
More than weight loss, exercise is key to your health. Fast walkers live longer – it’s official. Healthy eating, moderating your alcohol intake, and quitting smoking are the best ways to safeguard your health along with getting your daily dose of exercise.
If you want to avoid the misery of ill health in later life, getting in shape will certainly improve your chances of good health.
