You will be hearing more and more that all of us should be doing some strength building and maintaining exercise each week.

It doesn't take much time to see improvements in strength, endurance and energy levels when you start an exercise program. As you feel that strength grow, you may get excited about your workouts?and actually look forward to them. Every thing in your life will get a little easier as your fitness increases. Daily tasks, carrying groceries, taking care of kids, going up and down stairs?all will seem easier. ? Your confidence levels will grow and you may even try things you never imagined. It could be a sport or recreational activity you have always wanted to try but never felt you could manage it. Your new found strength and fitness could open doors for you that could increase the pleasure you get out of life. ? You will be inspired to change other areas of your life. It could be something so simple like cutting your hours back with your work to allow more time for physical activity and more time to enjoy your family. ? Your overall health will improve and you already know exercise can help protect you from at least 30 illnesses and conditions especially the 'big three' heart disease, cancer and diabetes. ? Your children will have a much better chance at being healthy throughout their lives. When they see you being active, you are being a good role model and are teaching then how to be active themselves. Try exercising with them for the ultimate quality time with your children or other loved ones. To reap these benefits you need to make sure your exercise regime incorporates the essential elements that make up a proper exercise program. Firstly the bulk of the program should contain strength training exercise. This is what will give you a boost to your metabolism (your body's engine) so you can burn off any stored body fat and increase body tone and firmness. The other component of a modern exercise program is interval training, short bursts of all out activity followed by periods of recovery. An example is 10-20 seconds of sprinting followed by one minute of walking repeated 10 or more times. You need to do this once or twice a week for the ultimate anti aging, fitness improving and feel great activity. Forget the long, slow, boring, steady state, old fashioned cardio type activities such as walking, jogging or cycling. These things are fine as part of an overall active lifestyle but can never ever replace a proper exercise program. If you currently live a no exercise lifestyle you may feel there is something missing in your life. Something that you yearn for deep inside but can't quite put your finger on it. If you listen closely it may be you body and soul craving for the vigorous activity levels us as humans are hardwired for but these days are not receiving. Give your body what it wants and needs to stay healthy, something so simple as a robust exercise program and you will get it back ten fold. Your body will stay healthy and you will be able to pack so much more into your one and only life. Try it and see for yourself.
