Fitness and Lifestyle Matter

Fitness and a healthy lifestyle are good for overall body, mind, and spirit wellness.

Being active can reduce your risk for disease and increase your chances of living longer
Feeling great about your body and your habits enhances your emotional well-being and improves your relationship with others
Exercise makes your mind sharper, better able to accomplish tasks and reach your goals
When you are in balance and fit, you experience connectedness to everything around you, and are driven to live your life well, and on purpose

Studies have suggested that walking at a brisk pace
for three or more hours a week can reduce your risk
for coronary heart disease by 65 percent.

Exercising should be done properly in order to benefit from it. That's why your exercise program should ALWAYS combine these three pillars of fitness.

Another thing to keep in mind when choosing to exercise is how well it fits into your lifestyle.

A big reason people give up or lose motivation is that they set their expectations too high. Getting a membership to a gym and setting a goal of getting there five nights a week might not be realistic, especially if you already have several other obligations keeping you busy in your spare time.

Similarly, joining a vigorous spinning class or running 10km when you are only moderately active now will cause you to give up if you don't have the endurance to take on this type of activity or the workouts cause you too much pain.

Therefore, the best way to ensure a successful program for yourself is to begin with an activity that peeks your interest. Incorporate it into your life in the most seamless way to ensure that you have the resources and the time to follow through, and to keep you motivated. Include time for more intuitive activities like stretching and foam rolling to reconnect with your body.

Before you begin a new program, you should consult with your physician to ensure it's right for you.

You may not be able to keep a perfect exercise routine ALL the time. Most important of all, remember to just keep moving! Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park a little further than necessary at the shopping mall. Walk the dog more often.

Have fun!
