Health and Fitness




CONCLUSION:  Assignment:

1. Make the distinction between fitness and health. You've done this already.

 2. Decide to become healthy. I hope you've done this already too.
3. Know where you are. Are you currently exercising aerobically or anaerobically? Are you burning fat or glycogen? Either visit somebody who can test you, or answer the following questions:

 Do you wake up in the morning feeling tired?

 Do you feel famished after working out?

 Do you experience wild mood swings after working out?

 Does that same layer of fat hang in there despite your most diligent efforts?

 Do you feel aches and pains after exercising?

 If you answered yes to these questions, chances are that you're exercising anaerobically.

 4. Purchase a portable heart-rate monitor (they cost in the range of $175 to $200). It's one of the best investments you'll ever make.

 5. Develop a plan. Condition your metabolism to burn fat and produce  consistent levels of energy by beginning a ten-day program of  aerobic exercise according to the guidelines I outlined above. Begin immediately.

 6. Decide to make exercise part of your identity. It is only through a long-term, lifelong commitment to exercise that we can truly reap  the  rewards that  life has to offer us.

The Magnificent Obsession - Creating A Compelling Future....

GIANT GOALS PRODUCE GIANT MOTIVATION So often, people ask me, "Where do I get my energy? With all that intensity, no wonder you're so successful. I just don't have your drive; I guess  I'm not motivated. I guess I'm lazy." My usual response is, "You're not lazy! You just have impotent goals!" Frequently I get a confused look to this response, at which point I explain that my level of excitement and drive comes from my goals. Every morning when I wake up, even if I feel physically exhausted from a lack of sleep, I'll still find the drive I need because my goals are so exciting to me. They get me up early, keep me up late, and inspire me to marshal my resources and use everything I can possibly find within the sphere of my influence to bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you now, but it will never be awakened  by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring, more challenging ...

The Path to Wellness

Beauty is not limited to just the exterior. Beauty is intentionally nature and our physical appearance is just a small part of it. Therefore one should endeavour  to look beyond size, weight, height or skin colour to transform our personality. A number of self help books will tell you how to deal with the many aspects of one's life. To live a wholesome life one needs to transform the way we look at nutrition, grooming and attitude towards our day-to-day life.

Therefore one should endeavour to look beyond external factors to transform our personality. The first step in this transformation  is the acceptance of the fact that we are beautiful as we are. The important thing is to take good care of our skin,, hair  and body by eating well, exercising and maintaining basic hygiene. One must pay attention to their ...

WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE SET GOALS?

You might be thinking right now, "Well, this all sounds so inspiraional, but surely just setting a goal doesn't make it happen." I couldn't agree with you more. All goal setting must be immediately followed by both the development of a plan, and massive and consistent action toward its fulfillment. You  already have this power to act. If you haven't been able to summon it, it's merely because you have failed to set goals that inspire you.  What's holding you back? Surely you've been exposed to the power of goal setting before. But do you have a list of clearly defined goals for the results you will absolutely produce in your life mentally, emotionally,physically, spiritually, and financially? What has stopped you? For many it's the unconscious fear of disappointment. Some people have set goals in the past and failed to achieve them and, as a result of their disappointment and their fear of future pain, they stop setting goals. They don't ...
