Workout advice from
Trainer Chris
If you want to conquer
fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get
busy. -Dale Carnegie
No matter the time of year or
how busy you are, a simple break from the busy struggle of
life can be beneficial in many ways. Exercising is a
phenomenal stress management tool and great for the body! 30
minutes of physical activity daily can help the body in
multiple ways. Other than weight control and maintaining
good health, exercise can help prevent diseases including
high blood pressure and heart disease. Regular exercise can
give you a little energy boost which can help with your mood
and your sleep habits. Exercise can even be fun!
Here are a few tips on staying in the habit:
Routine: You get up every morning and brush your
teeth before you start your day. You eat, breath, and sleep
daily. Add exercise to that daily or even weekly routine.
You do not need to be in the gym 7 days a week, but getting
to the gym on a regular schedule, whether it is two or five
days a week, will help you keep on track. Set your schedule
and stick to it!
Set goals: If you are a one of those seasonal gym
individual’s, and fade out in the summer, try getting back
in the gym a couple days a week and then back to your
regular routine. If you are just thinking about starting,
set a goal and go for it! Always set goals that are
measurable and achievable.
Comfortable setting: Music is most people’s best
friend in the gym. Throwing on your favorite music helps you
focus and removes distraction. Having a partner in the gym
helps too. A partner can motivate you to get to the gym, and
can be very beneficial when you are pushing out those last
couple reps. The most important factor in being comfortable
is enjoying where you are working out. Find a gym you like
and sign up! This is where I come in. I did the research for
you and have the top five gyms around Novi listed here.
Don’t sit at home thinking about this. Go out and get busy!
