Fitness - Mantra To Live Long

Demanding careers, raising a family coupled with pressures of
daily life is daunting task for man and woman alike. Exercising
or daily workout of 30 minute is the last thing on the mind,
though we find time to watch TV or hang out with friends. We
can come up with hordes of reason for not hitting the gym. 
 
Being fit should be a part and priority in everyone's life.
Being physically fit helps you to live a longer life. It means
more than looking your best on the beach and finishing first in
the marathon. By keeping yourself physically fit, your body
learns to deal with the stress of daily life. Incorporate going
to the gym as a daily habit like brushing your teeth or taking a
shower. Devote good 30 minutes to an hour for exercises or any
other kind of workout for making you feel fit and look good.
 
Daily workout or an hour of exercise helps to relieve stress,
depression anxiety, increase one's ability to concentrate,
think faster and become sharper, helps reduce blood pressure,
reduces the risk of life threatening diseases, increases
flexibility to maintain muscular tension and tones muscles to
build and maintain bones.
 
If you decide to shove off going to gym, you will miss out on
the benefits mentioned above and much more. 30 minutes to an
hour of physical fitness is major health investment. 
 
If this is your first step in the fitness world, get in touch
with gyms or personal trainers to see which, what fitness plan
suits you the best. You will also come across adverts with
promises of keeping you in the best of shape. Learn to
differentiate between the real and fake.
 
After you decide on your fitness plan, you have to start
working on the same to stay in shape and keep fit. Don't go
overboard on the first day as you might feel very exhausted or
burned out. To reach your ideal level of fitness, be sincere,
consistent and stick with the program.
 
Mornings are the best time for doing workouts. Get up an hour
earlier and hit the gym. After an hour at the gym you will feel
fresh all day long. If you put off doing your workouts in the
morning, you are more likely to put if off later due to plain
laziness or tiredness from working all day long. 
 
Another way to enjoy your self being physically fit is to
undertake some physical activities such walks, hiking, mountain
biking, playing golf, etc, with your spouse, kids or friends.
