Exercising In A Busy Lifestyle!

Hurry, hurry, and hurry. It seems we are all in a rush to get somewhere and do something, and there never is enough hours in the day to do what we have to do. We hear more and more about the benefits of exercise- so, because of our busy lifestyles, there is never enough time to start an exercise program. Our intentions are good, but it is easier to put it off until tomorrow. Unfortunately, tomorrow comes and goes, and the exercise program we were supposed to start, never happens.

I found myself in this very predicament-never having enough time to exercise because of being busy in the office. In addition to that I hated going to gyms. When I found myself gaining weight, with my cholesterol and triglicerides going through the roof, I knew it was time to do something. I started developing an exercise program I can do at home, without equipment or gadgets. After about six months of trial and error, I came up with a group of exercises that fitted my criteria.

It was a very simple, no impact easy to do at home, or when traveling, or even in a group setting, such as a community center, gym or outdoors. In its simplicity it would provide better health, increased fitness, with improved flexibility, muscle tone and strength.

I have written about the benefits of exercising long before it was in vogue to do so. You can read two such articles at www.doctorsexercise.com . Click on Journal Index and find the article titled: “Benefits Of Exercising At Home”, and, “Aerobic Versus Anaerobic”, dated 6/7/04. These articles will give you a better insight and hopefully give you some motivation into starting an exercise program.

How and when you exercise is important and is discussed in the health hints below.

Health Hints***

Finding an exercise program you enjoy and can live with is of the utmost importance. If you struggle with the program, you definitely won’t keep it up. Most people starting an exercise program will give up on it within a month or less.
Find a convenient time of day for you to exercise. Try to exercise at that time of day on a daily basis.
My preference is in the morning before getting out bed. That is how I designed my exercise program. It only takes 15-20 minutes and you are through for the day. That doesn’t mean it’s all right to be sedentary for the rest of the day. You still have to be active by walking whenever you can. Walk stairs when possible, and walk to stores, banks, etc. whenever possible.
Try to exercise before eating. If you are going to eat before you have exercised, try to eat at 3-4 hours before doing exercise. It can take up to 4 hours before your food leaves your stomach and exercising will impact the digestive process.
In addition to the benefits mentioned above that are derived from exercising regularly; there are cardiovascular, circulatory, and pulmonary,
Exercise helps in building strong bones, joints and muscles.
Will keep your weight within normal limits.
Lowers your risk factors for colon cancer and type 2 diabetes.
Helps with stress and depressive states.
Helps maintain a normal blood pressure.
AND…WHERE ELSE…CAN YOU GET A RETURN OF SO MANY BENEFITS FOR ONLY 15-20 MINUTES YOU SPEND ON A DAILY BASIS?
