Introduction
Do you not have enough time to exercise on your day? Too many people say, I have to exercise, but I dont have enough time for the day. Or if you have the time, you have the energy to lie down and watch TV. Whether youre on business, working at home, working with family, or holding other post-school events, the following schedule or a version of it can help you overcome your problems.
Exercise is more than sleeping or sitting. You can use abdominal exercises to move your upper body or other upper body exercises, even if your back or abdomen is on a flat floor. Pushups are a great lying exercise, and abdominal cramps are a little more complicated than sleeping. An hour a day is an admirable goal to improve your fitness level and overall health, but even 10-15 minutes are more effective than nothing.
Getting fit in one day is a challenge that we all have to face. Exercising after long hours at home, in the office, or on the street is difficult, but it still creates a generation of people with obesity and other preventable health problems, so Americans still have to exercise. Many people who have difficulty keeping their fitness on schedule can get their work done 15 to 20 minutes before the start of the day and 15 to 20 minutes after the end of the day. Im going. Even if the exercise is a simple walk before breakfast and after dinner, a 15 to 20-minute walk at any of these times can help significantly burn calories that only accumulate as fat. An easy walk and some gymnastics after a meal can help increase your energy levels and help you do everything.
Chapter 1 The Essential Elements
The main draw to this book may be the six week training routine but there is far more value to it than just following along with the practical part. Its great that you now have a beginner home workout to follow but in my opinion, if you understand the principals behind why you are doing what you are doing, you will gain far more value from this book than you would if you simply took my word for it and followed the workouts. Most beginners to fitness will have a goal in mind, and to achieve this they tend to start with the most obvious form of exercise.
For example, if the goal is to lose weight, they might go for a run or jump on an exercise bike or even a rowing machine. If they want to gain muscle, they may grab some dumbbells and start doing some bicep curls. The problem with this common approach is that without a structured plan there will be no foundation in place to fall back on when the inevitable waves of doubt, loss of motivation, or plain tiredness, that are a part of every single fitness endeavour, come crashing in.
This six-week exercise plan is designed to guard against these common causes of fitness and weight-loss venture abandonment. By understanding the essential elements of this routine, you will have a better knowledge of how to design and plan your own workouts so you can keep progressing beyond week six.
Right now your main goal may be to lose weight, tone your body, or simply get healthy, but perhaps in the future you may want to challenge yourself further, perhaps even enter a sporting race or event. While my main aim here is to offer the novice a realistic, comfortable and non-daunting entry to fitness and exercise, I hope that it will also give you the confidence and ability to accomplish whatever fitness goal you may set your mind to.
No matter what the end goal is, be it to lose weight, run a 5K, a full marathon, or enter a body-building competition, every good fitness plan will have the following essential elements. It is the absence of one or more of these which leads so many people to give up.
Every beginners exercise regime should be:
Realistic and appropriate for your current level of fitness and skill.
Convenient . It needs to fit in with your lifestyle.
Progressive , challenging you more over time.
Planned in advance with a schedule to follow and targets to hit.
Diverse , including a good mix of cardio and resistance.
Any training plan with these qualities will provide a solid foundation upon which to build. The routine that is outlined in this book ticks all of these boxes. It will help you out all the more if you embrace a positive mind-set and stay consistent with your training.
Health Check
Before you embark on any fitness routine, please consult your Doctor.
Do not exercise if you are unwell.
Stop if you feel pain, and if the pain does not subside, consult your Doctor.
Do not exercise if you have taken alcohol or had a large meal in the last few hours.
If you are taking medication, please check with your Doctor to make sure it is okay for you to exercise.
If in doubt at all, please check with your Doctor first you may even want to take this routine and go through it with them. It may be helpful to ask for a blood pressure, cholesterol and weight check. You can then have these taken again in a few months to see the benefit.
Food
This book is focused on beginner exercise, which is a major part of living a healthy lifestyle. However, exercise and nutrition go hand in hand so I have put together some tips and good practices that will be highly effective when incorporated alongside your exercise routine.
Food plays a very important part in creating your body composition and fuelling your body. If you are eating too much of the wrong foods, your body composition will change accordingly. If you eat too little food, your body will work with the fuel that you have given it, making cut backs to the detriment of its function. Food and diet can be an extremely detailed subject and there are many theories and practices that seem to contradict each other. Some will claim to give you amazing weight loss or phenomenal muscle growth.
The truth is that many of these diet ideas and theories will work if they are practiced consistently. However, in my opinion, its best to keep it simple as there is no substitute for a good knowledge of basic nutrition.
Making nutritional and dietary changes that compliment your training will help to speed up your training progression so its worth taking note of these. With any lifestyle change, I believe that if there are too many changes going at once, it can become overwhelming.
Keeping track of a bunch of new practices can be too much of a hurdle for most and there is no need to make things more difficult than they need to be. Since an exercise routine is a large change to incorporate into your life, I would advise that you initially just make yourself aware of the food that you are eating, making only small and gradual changes when you are ready. Remember that a lot of small changes over time will result in a big change in the end.
Here are some simple ways to start building good food habits. You may want to make one of these changes every week until eventually you are practicing all of these suggestions.
Dont skip meals As a beginner, this is a good practice to help your metabolism function correctly. Eat three to four nutritionally balanced meals every day. Theories such as intermittent fasting are sound but I would advise that these practices are looked into when you become more experienced as a possible progression.
