Why Fitness Should Be Fun
With all the daily stress in our life, we need time to release the stress and to have fun.
Exhausting as it sounds, a rugged workout can be exhilarating. Working up a lather, shaking out the kinks, and getting out of breath can be addicting. Fitness should not be a deadly serious matter—it should be a kick!
There are benefits of fitness, to be sure. These benefits are “extras”. These are not reasons why people keep fit. These are bonuses for people who exercise for fun and fitness.
Tension is the businessman’s heaviest burden. Deadlines, promotion, competition, improvement, insecurity, and worry are part of our society. No wonder the executive has difficulty relaxing. Tight nerves and tense muscles are the usual rather than the exception. Fitness is one way out. No one can relax by being ordered to do so. Keyed-up nerves and muscles do not respond to talk. Nerves and muscles can be re-educated. Relaxing habits can be substituted for bad habits.
How To Relax
The way to relax is to keep the mind clear but the body very active. Translated, this means: exercise vigorously. Having non relaxed energetically for thirty minutes, no one needs to be told to relax. He has no choice —he is exhausted—he has to relax. Ask anyone what is the best part of his workout. It is taking a shower afterward— naturally!
A workout inescapably prepares one for relaxation. During a workout it is impossible to be concerned about anything other than the task at hand. One’s every thought and effort is concentrated on the workout.
Try preparing a report to the boss while watching your tennis adversary’s cannonball serve go streaking past.
Try adding up all your debts while giving the bowling ball a little body English toward a remote tenpin. Try thinking about anything while exercising except exercising. It cannot be done! Your mind is off your problems—and that is good.
After the workout, with physically tired muscles, with the glow of physical satisfaction, and with the refreshing relief of a warm shower, relaxation is inevitable. And in a few weeks nerves and muscles once again have learned the rewarding art of relaxation.
Dangers Of Obesity
Obesity, which is one of the top reasons of premature death, is rare among those who exercise regularly.
Obese people have a greater chance to develop heart disease, cancer, kidney illnesses, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and other degenerative disorders. While fitness per se apparently does not lengthen life, obesity certainly shortens it. There are no vaccinations or antibiotics which protect you from these illnesses. But fitness which abolishes obesity provides statistical immunization
Why Make Fitness Fun?
Although we all know that fitness is good for us and makes us feel good, if it’s a chore then we will put it off as much as possible. However, if you choose a fitness routine that you enjoy and but is physically demanding, your more likely to stick with it and actually look forward to your workouts.
Think about what type of exercises you like to do and what sports you enjoy partaking in. Then try to incorporate those into your daily life.
