Fitness - Why Keeping It Interesting Is A Good Strategy
by Gerwicht Verlea

In the early stages of a fitness drive - the days and weeks
after the decision to get fit has been taken - most people
put a lot of effort in. Even when the body is finding it
hard going the mental strength that comes from the initial
enthusiasm pulls us through. For anyone who has not
exercised for some time the initial gains can be impressive
too. The heart, the muscles, begin to wake up and flush
with strength... we should have done it years ago!
As time goes on, even if the physical form is still
improving, the mind can get find it a little dull. It is
the time when the gym-goer has checked out all the gear in
the gymnasium, settled on those machines they like best...
yes, you know it is good for you but the you feel
uninspired. Do not throw in the towel at this point, there
are things that can be done!
First remember that maintaining the exercise routine is the
hardest part for everyone. But as soon as you feel a little
weary when thinking exercising you know it is time to start
varying your program.
Those who have chosen running as their route to fitness
will find it is time to come up with new routes and maybe
start some track sessions. The gym is another possibility
since this variation in training can be good for the
primary sport (running) by building strength and reducing
the chances of injuries.
Gym goers should opt for a couple of classes a week instead
of gym sessions or a swim. It takes a lot of discipline to
exercise on your own - it is all down to you - so a class
is good because someone else is setting the pace and the
things you do and it can be more fun to do a class with
other people. Otherwise try a team sport or get friends to
come to the gym with you or for a cycle, that way you can
motivate each other.
There are points in any fitness program when the problem is
not your state of mind but a shortage of free time. Work is
a classic problem, taking up a lot of time. It is easy to
get a little depressed when we miss a few trips to the gym
or whatever - we fear the fitness may slip away... In a
full schedule it is still possible to take a few fitness
opportunities. For starters pass on the elevator and take
the steps.
The lunch break is a perfect opportunity to go walking.
Short and reasonably fast helps keep you healthy - even
better if you need to attend a meeting that is not so
distant you can leave the car and avoid the taxi: walk
instead. At the end of a tiring day it is usually possible
to do a little home exercising - floor work - that will
help pick you up.
Constant repetition is boring for anyone, so rather than
let it drag you down why not do something. Ring the changes
and enjoy your fitness.
