Tips on Exercising on a Daily Basis

Living a healthy, balanced lifestyle has numerous benefits.  Your wellness and lifestyle come down to the foods you eat and the amount of exercise you get in any given day.  If you are like most Americans, you understand the importance of a healthy exercise routine, but finding the time and energy to complete your workout is no simple feat.

The following tips will help you to develop a habit of exercising on a daily basis.  It requires effort, but the risk is well worth the reward.  The most important concept to understand in daily exercising is that your hard work will pay off.  You will not find that daily exercising has zero results.  Quite the opposite, if you commit to a lifestyle of exercising, even if only for 15 to 30 minutes a day, your body will reap the health benefits.  Your physical health is so important.  When you work out daily, you burn calories, increase energy, and experience weight loss.
Once you mentally prepare for the effort it requires, it’s time to jump in.  The absolute hardest part of working out is starting the workout.  You will find that once you begin your routine, you not only get focused, but you enjoy the “burn.”  Pushing through the mental block, you can start by working out at home, going to a park, or joining a gym membership.  Sometimes you are most motivated by a gym membership because you don’t want to waste your money.  Think about your personality and figure out the most effective workout location for you.
After you’ve tried out the gym or the DVDs, create a schedule.  Similar to training your body to eat smaller portions throughout the day, you want to make working out a habit you enjoy.  Schedule a set time to complete your exercises each day.  Of course, working out every day means that you need to switch up which muscle groups you are exercising.  For example, if you do arm exercises on a Monday, you need to take a break from arms on Tuesday.  Once you determine a time that works best for you, commit to your schedule.
The great part of working out is that you can make it fun and exciting.  Gather your friends and have your own workout classes, find exercises that you enjoy, or workout while catching up on your favorite television shows.  When you are having fun, you are more motivated to work out.  So find exercises such as swimming, yoga, or weight lifting that you actually enjoy.
Though there are physical benefits to working out, there are also a number of mental and emotional benefits.  Use your workout sessions as a time of self-reflection and growth.  When you have some alone time, and this might be your only chance, use it to focus physically and mentally.  Not only will you be more relaxed when you have this time, but you will also have a more effective workout.

Never Do the Same Workout

Not being able to do a pull-up doesn’t mean you shouldn’t step up to the bar. Simply hanging on for as long as possible can improve your upper-body strength, Montenegro says.

  

Concentrate on keeping your body as still as possible, and you’ll naturally recruit your abs, hips, and lower back in addition to your arms, she explains, or slowly move your legs in circles or up and down to further engage your abs. (And while you’re at it, follow this pull-up progression plan to master the classic move.) 

                    Never Do the Same Workout

 “The reason most people don't see changes isn't because they don't work hard—it's because they don't make their workouts harder,” says Adam Bornstein, founder of Born Fitness. His suggestion: Create a challenge every time you exercise. “Use a little more weight, rest five to 10 seconds less between sets, add a few more reps, or do another set. Incorporating these small variations into your routine is a recipe for change,” he says.

50 Must-Know Fitness Tips to Score Your Best Body

 If motivation is your hang-up, change your exercise routine every 14 days. A University of Florida study discovered that people who modified their workouts twice a month were more likely than to stick to their plans compared to those who changed their regimens whenever they wanted to. Boredom didn’t appear to be a factor; it seems people simply enjoyed the variety more.

 

 

                         Bring Up Your Rear 

 

 For a strong backside that will turn heads wherever you go, Marta Montenegro, a Miami-based exercise physiologist and strength and conditioning coach, recommends completing 100 kettlebell swings nonstop with a moderate weight at the end of a legs workout. [Tweet this tip!] If you can’t access a kettlebell, do deadlifts and hip-thrusters instead. “Women tend to overemphasize the quadriceps even when they think they are working the butt. With these two exercises, you'll have no problem engaging the glutes and posterior muscles of the legs,” Montenegro says.

1 Workout Secrets From the Pros

Getting and staying fit can be a challenge. For many of us, it's hard just to get up off the couch. So what's the secret of people who have managed to make exercise a way of life?

                                        Be Consistent

Chase Squires is the first to admit that he's no fitness expert. But he is a guy who used to weigh 205 pounds, more than was healthy for his 5'4" frame. "In my vacation pictures in 2002, I looked like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man at the beach," says the 42-year-old Colorado resident.

Squires decided enough was enough, cut out fatty food, and started walking on a treadmill. The pounds came off and soon he was running marathons -- not fast, but in the race. He ran his first 50-mile race in October 2003 and completed his first 100-miler a year later. Since then, he's completed several 100-mile, 50-mile, and 50k races.

His secret? "I'm not fast, but I'm consistent," says Squires, who says consistency is his best tip for maintaining a successful fitness regimen.
