$1,000,000 Question

Let’s face it, I can give you all the tips in the world but that is no guarantee that you will get up and exercise. There will always be something else that is vying for your attention. What is the motivating factor that will get you to get up and move? Here are a few tips to keep you going while you figure out the million dollar answer.

 

Let go of exhaustion- Exercise can give you more energy. All you have to do is take that first step. After about 15 minutes those feel good hormones should be kicking in. Also look at what you’re eating, it good be your diet that’s causing you to feel sluggish. Cut down on sugar, and fat and drink more water.

Sweat is your friendSome people don’t like to sweat, and some women are trying to make that hair-do last until the next trip to the salon. Wrap your hair and get a good towel. Sweating cools the body down it doesn’t heat it up.

Remember to breathe- If you’re taking an aerobic class, I know it can be annoying to hear the instructor constantly reminding you to breathe, but it’s important. A lot of people tend to hold their breath or don’t inhale deep enough. Oxygen is an important part of the energy equation; your muscles need it to move efficiently not to mention your heart and lungs. Keep this is mind when you’re working out; breathe two counts in and two out .

Hold your weights properly- Don’t grip too hard, simply hold the weight lightly and let your muscles do the actual lifting. Keep the line of your hand, wrist, and forearm straight. Don’t bend your wrist when you’re holding the weight.

Ok, so back to that million dollar question.
