Exercise

Yes a subject i have spoken of before. But how do you maximise the potential of exercising? How do you keep on plugging away? There are several answers for these questions and everyone will tell you differently.

The most simple answer is water. If you can stay well hydrated while doing exercises you should be able to exercise for that little bit longer. Water is extremely important for not only heath but many other things.

So when should we drink water? Well we should usually drink water inbetween meals so we do not over-dilute our food. It is important to drink fresh, pure water. If we can have a lot of water in our system, then this is better for our muscles as they get more hydration and therefore they work better.

Doctors tell us that we should drink 8 glasses of water a day. This can be hard and i know that i don't! But i do drink a sufficient amount so that i keep hydrated while exercising. Exercising is all about burning off fat that is not needed or wanted, which is why we want to exercise for longer.

Exercising can be tough at times, you may have an injury or maybe you find it hard to sustain a consistent daily exercise. But to be healthy you don't have to be one of these people who go to the gym everyday! You can start slow, joining a gym can be good and i advise it because everyone who is in there is in for more or less the same reason. So there is more social activity and you can have fun while you exercise.

But start slow and you should be fine, perhaps start to walk to work? Or walk up to the shop to get your shopping, perhaps even start cycling. Those are only a few ideas of what you could do, if you start slow you minimise the risk of pulling a muscle or straining yourself.

Exercising doesn't have to be done on your own, go for a walk with family or friends. It can be fun and rewarding at the same time. Noone likes the idea of having to exercise but if it is necessary you might aswell have fun at the same time!
