Top 5 Suggestions To Boost Your Physical Fitness

By James Spann


Staying physically fit helps the body to function more efficiently. Regular activity will contribute to the health of the lungs and heart and you would be able to burn off extra calories.

Regular fitness activity will decrease your risk of disease. It will also make you feel better, look better, avoid injuries, and participate in activities you enjoy throughout most of your life.

Cross training entails using many kinds of physical fitness movements in one exercise. It's wonderful due to the fact that you do not have time to get tired, each muscular tissue in your body is utilized and it reduces the danger of injury.

Cross training involves doing many different activities in one exercise. It's excellent considering that you do not have time to become, bored, you are working almost every muscle in the body, and it minimizes the danger of injury. Cross training brings about better general fitness than just doing one exercise.

When you've followed the same exercise routine for a while, it can become a bit stale. When this happens, one of the best physical fitness tips is to incorporate something new into your routine.

Some examples of things you may like are Pilates, boxing, group fitness classes, Martial Arts, or team sports. Varying your workout will certainly give you renewed interest and prevent you from quitting your physical fitness regime entirely.

There is something about the warm weather months that makes us want to workout more and get into tip top, enviable shape. But during the cold winter months, for many of us, just the opposite happens. We begin to hibernate like bears - putting on extra weight- as we put our exercise program on hold. Instead of waiting until the spring thaw to start preparing for a new exercise season, follow these tips to keep your beach body all year round. You should plan ahead for the up-coming cold season. Think about what you could do to adjust your health and fitness plans for the weather condition.

If you use your imagination, there are many indoor exercises you can do to stay in shape during the winter months. For example, purchase a stationary bike or treadmill to exercise. Do jumping jacks or jump rope to stay in shape. Use the stairs more often, clean the house, take dancing classes, or simply dance to your favorite tunes. Do push-ups, or use resistance bands. The more you do to remain active, the more calories you will burn, and the less weight you will gain.

When you're in a rush, you might decide not to stretch before and after your exercise regimen. This is a big mistake. Stretching can mean the difference between having consistent and effective workouts or sporadic exercise routines due to major muscle tears. A flexible body is one that will move more efficiently than a non-flexible one. Compare snapping a dry twig with a moist, flexible twig? Stretching has similar effects on the muscles of your body. It enables the muscles to move with less resistance by the fibers rather than breaking like a dry twig.

I know that lately, some say that stretching is not necessary before and after exercising. But, I have been working out and competing in sports for over 50 years, and have never had a major injury. This couldn't just be a coincidence. I believe it is because I have always stretched prior to exercising.

Listening to music when you hit the gym to improve your workout isn't exactly a new concept. Research consistently finds that listening to music - to some extent - distracts the individual from their sensations of pain. You also tend to work harder when listening to faster music compared to how hard you would work listening to slower tempo music. With the right song, music can put you "in the zone," and boost your motivation to work harder. This is because listening to music raises dopamine levels and makes you feel happier, and happiness increases your motivation and results in you working much harder.

Following these physical fitness tips will help you remain in shape, stay healthy and attain the beach body for which you have longed.
