Health Febs: Get Fit in Your Body and Your Mind

Procrastination often limits people from ever getting in shape. Many make New Years resolutions, with the best intentions to get fit, but in time, these resolutions become a distant memory and are forgotten. The first step to getting fit is eliminating the negative mental factor. First, don't over analyze or procrastinate. Yes, you should do some research about your local fitness facilities and make sure that you're not locking yourself into a long, drawn out contract, but many people think, and think, and think some more about getting fit till it is way too late. Doing research on the Internet is a great place to start, but don't wait till you have a health problem to get started. Here are some techniques that you can try to get you on track:

Start with a Personal Trainer A great trainer will be able to create a program just for you and progress you in the right manner. Also, studies show, that just the presence of a personal trainer makes people who are trying to get fit work harder. Imagine that? If you're a little intimidated about starting, why not try teaming up with a friend who also wants to lose weight and get fit. Going to the gym with a friend may be more encouraging. Where I live in Beaufort South Carolina, there are loads of recreational activities and a few great fitness facilities that can get you to your goals. But ultimately, if you don't have the drive and desire to get in shape it is likely you will remain stagnate.

Taking up a physical activity as a hobby Playing a sport recreationally can also help to keep you motivated. Recreational sports have an uncanny ability to allow people to think that they are having fun (true), so you want to do it more and more, yet at the same time you're getting in shape. Also, as you begin to play sports competitively, in most cases you will find yourself wanting to improve physically, to keep up with fellow competitors.

Dump the vices Living an unhealthy lifestyle is the cause of many deficiencies alongside poor health conditions. If you plan on getting fit, you should look at eliminating things like smoking, drinking and eating junk food. Start by reducing these vices and with some self-discipline you will be able to kick the habits. In order for you to optimize your body's full physical potential, you need to feed it key nutrients and vitamins. These nutrients and vitamins can be obtained through the food you eat.

There are many health problems already aligned with an unhealthy lifestyle. If you live an unsavoury lifestyle and continue to do so, you risk creating medical problems for yourself in the near future and for the rest of your life. No one wants that. Researchers at Duke University have illustrated that exercise has antidepressant properties. Wide reaching studies have also shown that exercise helps the brain function of the elderly and helps fight dementia. So there is evidence that exercise helps people not just physically, but has great effects on your mind. If you've been trying to quit your vice, you may find that you are able to let go of unhealthy habits such as smoking and drinking more easily, with the addition of exercise. Getting fit is all about your mindset. Once you have a clear mind free from negativity, you are on the right track.

Just remember that getting fit takes work. In Beaufort, South Carolina, there are programs that run for 45 minutes just a few times a week. So there may be similar programs in your area. Coupled with walking or jogging, you can reduce the risk of heart disease and lower blood pressure. Not to mention lose weight and build muscle. Remember if you have any health conditions get your doctor's consent or seek medical advice about how to start exercising. Getting fit can be lots of fun, but staying fit is even more fun. There are so many health benefits of living a healthy lifestyle. But it's just up to you now, to get fit mentally and physically for the rest of your life.
