This is for you Baby Boomers. Some of you might feel like you are on the downside of life so why care? Maybe you are married and the kids are all grown up living on their own. So why bother with weight loss or physical fitness at this point in your life. Let’s see if we can break it down for a better understanding of why?
1. This could be the best time in your life. Your chance to enjoy things that you could not because of raising your family or building your career. This is the time in your life you should have the resources and time to live your dreams. No responsibilities to anything but living every day and enjoying your life.
2. If you are lucky enough to have grand kids you will want to take part in their lives. To go on a bike ride through a beautiful Forest or along a beach bike path. To be able to share those moments with the grand kids will give them memories for the rest of their lives. Every time they take a bike ride ,they will remember you and those adventures you gave them.
3. Do you have the feeling of doing something to push yourself to new heights. Maybe ride a bike across the country, hike through one this country’s great national parks, sail around the world, or just get back into an athletic activity you did in your youth.
4. Maybe you just want a better quality of life to live. To stop taking all those medicines that comes with getting older… being out of shape…overweight. How many aches and pains could you lose if you start eating healthy and exercising. No high blood pressure, low Cholesterol, and reduce chances of a heart attack or stroke. Not to mention the stress level low to zero about your health.
The choice is yours to make, a life of doctor visits, taking pills, and the stress of worrying about is this my last day. Or do you look to the future with your dreams coming true every day. Enjoying every minute of every day for the rest of your life. There are two stories left to be told about your life which will be told. The first one is my life was a struggle each day and you justify it by saying pain lets you know you are still alive. The second one is I so many things to be thankful for and I could not have live my life any fuller.
If weight loss is holding you back in life, make something happen today. You have to take action. No one else can do it for you. Wrap you mind around the idea of living life the highest level you can. Start a program that works for you and stick with it. Get some motivational programs to help create that mindset you need to be successful at anything. Each human body is different. One diet plan may not work as well for you as for someone else. So you will have to do some research, testing, and maybe combine different parts of more than one diet plan. When you find one that works, then work the plan to reach your goals.
Exercise works every time it is used, period. So making excuses not to do them it just plain BULL_ _ _ _. You need to do three types of exercises.
1. Cardio: Which needs to done 45 minutes every other day. 2. Weights and Resistant training: Do this on the off days. 3. Stretching or Yoga: This could be alternated with Weights and Resistant training.
Drink lots of water and do not over do it. If you have not workout in a long time take it slow. You should build up your level of conditioning and endurance. If you have pain stop. Your workouts should be fun and done nice and easy. You will know when you be ready to go for it and that will the best feeling you will every have in your workout program.
