It’s not just what you eat, it’s also important to work out regularly with or without equipment. The idea is to buildup strength, improve stability, balance, mobility, and posture.
We know a daily workout is good for optimizing health, but also, we like to look good naked lol! so I am sharing some tips to start building discipline and motivation.
First, focus on achieving your goal. Write down your intention on a piece of paper or board then visualize meeting your goal. Place it in on a wall, mirror, fridge door, really anywhere you will see it every day.
Second, organize 30 min to 1 hour of your daily time during the week and set at least 3 to 5 days for your physical activity. You want to build a routine and create a good habit for life.
Third, check what type of physical activities you like to do; it’s important for nurturing your motivation:
- Dance
- Walk
- Jogging or Running
- Aerobic exercise classes.
- Bicycle riding (stationary or on a path)
- Lifting weight
- Stretching
- Pilates
- Working with resistance bands
- Yoga
- Barre workouts
- Hiking
- Swimming
- Jump rope
- Kickboxing
The most important of all, is that you can do most of this activity in your home or outdoor space. Also, having some equipment like a stability ball at home. A few weights or resistance bands are inexpensive and will keep you in shape. This helps to stimulate the body’s natural motor reflexes and keep your focus.
In my case I am focused on building my strength because it’s very important for a long healthy life. I have learned through the years that using a training routine with slow focused movements can build physical and mental strength. This is a great way to increase your healthy lifespan especially when combined with healthy food habits.
