Healthy Goals for Exercise

Hi guys. This one of my posts relating to weight gain and I am specifically going to look at setting the most realistic and achievable goals that will help you to lose weight. This is like a point bullet program that you can write in color and hang it up on your bedside to remind you of what you need to achieve.

1. Baby steps to heaven. As I have always said it is better to start slow and finish fast than to start fast and finish slow. The baby steps are there. Use them before you become an adult.

2. Take care of the body. Avoid putting strain on your bones just because you want to get to an unrealistic target. The body does not like to be abused.

3. Target the problem areas because they are the ones that need help. Generalized exercise is not focused so you lose out on the benefits of toning which is the friend of a good body builder.

4. Consistency pays off if it is done often enough. Select what you like and do it again and again.

5. Avoid boredom by varying your routine. The routine will go quicker if it is constantly changed from time to time. Find interesting things to include in what you do and you will find that everything tends to go faster.

6. Use exercise as part of an arsenal of tools to get your body into shape. Do not let the exercise take the lion’s share of the work. The more hands that are involved, the lighter the work.

7. Get all your mates to join you and see how you can progress with even the slightest encouragement. We all sometimes need to rely on friends. Make use of them as they are there to help you.

8. Practice as much as possible because they say that practice makes perfect. That tricky exercise that you have always wanted to do but which seems to break your back. Try it many times and you will be surprised to see it working.

9. Lifestyle change is what you are aiming for. The idea is that you remain the same person but with different goals and aspirations. You will also have different methods of achieving those goals.

10. Finally enjoy yourself as much as possible. Exercise like life is all about getting the best. Don’t let the routine drag you down.
