Fitness - Ring the Changes
by Gerwicht Verlea

Most people, once they have decided to become fit, go all
out to attain it. The first days are often physically
difficult but at the same time you are often still full of
motivation. What's more, the majority of people feel better
even after the first week of fitness training, especially
if it is the first exercise they have taken in years. They
feel their heart pounding and their muscles flexing and
wonder why they left it so long.

As time goes on, even if the physical form is still
improving, the mind can get find it a little dull. It is
the time when the gym-goer has checked out all the gear in
the gymnasium, settled on those machines they like best...
yes, you know it is good for you but the you feel
uninspired. Do not throw in the towel at this point, there
are things that can be done!

Take comfort in the knowledge that this difficulty in
keeping focussed happens to everyone. It is simply your
brain reminding your body that it is time for a change.

Those who have chosen running as their route to fitness
will find it is time to come up with new routes and maybe
start some track sessions. The gym is another possibility
since this variation in training can be good for the
primary sport (running) by building strength and reducing
the chances of injuries.

Gym goers should opt for a couple of classes a week instead
of gym sessions or a swim. It takes a lot of discipline to
exercise on your own - it is all down to you - so a class
is good because someone else is setting the pace and the
things you do and it can be more fun to do a class with
other people. Otherwise try a team sport or get friends to
come to the gym with you or for a cycle, that way you can
motivate each other.

Other times the problem is not that you do not have the
will, but that you do not have the time. Maybe work is too
demanding. Skip more than one or two sessions and we start
to worry about sliding backwards in our fitness. There are
ways to get fitness worked into a busy schedule and keep
your level up when the inevitable happens and you skip a
day or two at the gym. An easy start is climbing steps
instead of hopping on the elevator.

The lunch break is a perfect opportunity to go walking.
Short and reasonably fast helps keep you healthy - even
better if you need to attend a meeting that is not so
distant you can leave the car and avoid the taxi: walk
instead. At the end of a tiring day it is usually possible
to do a little home exercising - floor work - that will
help pick you up.

The same old routine will kill off the enthusiasm in anyone
- accept this and instead of fighting it, freshen up your
fitness program. Fitness should be fun!
