Exercise is often looked as an activity that requires plenty of
self-discipline in order to consistently perform it. People may not necessarily like to exercise, but most people want the benefits and results of exercise. But, if people know and seemingly understand the benefits of exercise, why does it seem that most people do not exercise on a regular basis? Or, maybe they do exercise, but it would seem that most people do not look like they exercise at all. Here are three tips on getting quality results of exercise.
First of all, for most people, they would need to increase their intensity-level of their exercise. Thus, in many instances, walking is an activity not necessarily an exercise. Most people think that walking will enable them to get the results they want. For most able-bodied people, they need to step-up their exercises. They do not have to exercise longer but more intense in shorter durations. You can intensify your walking routine by a few minutes of light jogging then walking then light jogging then walking...Eventually, you can increase your intensity by running then jogging then running then jogging...By varying your intensity, you will get better results than just walking.
Second, we need to do more anaerobic-type of routines. Aerobics are generally accepted as being good for the body. It would benefit our hearts and lungs. We need to use weights and resistance training in our exercise routine. Many people think that weights and other resistance training will build extra bulk in their body. This may not appeal to them. But, you need weights and resistance training to get long-term and significant results in your training regiment. The powerlifts such as the bench press, squats, and dead lifts are effective to get results for athletes and non-athletes. Not only do your strengthen your bones and muscles but you develop lean muscle mass which leads to quicker fat loss. But, anyone can start by doing other resistant type of exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups, squats (without weights), lunges, and other movements.
Thirdly, variety is the spice of life and for our exercise routines. When you go to the gym, you can notice everyone has their set routines. Though they do not get the results they want, they do the same routine over and over. Insanity is defined as doing something the same over and over-and then expecting different results. You do not have to be at the gym for 2 to 3 hours everyday to get results. In fact, it is best to keep your workouts shorter than an hour. It is the quality of your workouts and not the quantity that counts.
