People are divided into two categories in the health and fitness world, those that are active and enjoy exercising and those that do not engage in it at all. For the ones that do not get involved in some form of activity, they run the risk of obtaining several awful health ailments and they generally have endless excuses as to why they cannot find the time or money to get started.

Exercise should never be considered an activity that is optional. It is vital for a healthy and long life and most importantly, it keeps your immunity strong so you have less chances of becoming sick. The funny part is, you do not need to invest a small fortune in a gym membership or even leave your house if you do not have the ability to do so. You can perform endless activities right from your living room to get in shape and keep your heart healthy. For example, there are thousands of exercise and fitness videos at your disposal a that you can purchase on the internet or in any local department store. They are cheap and effective, and they can be done in the privacy of your own home. Choose ones you will enjoy doing and that you will commit to for a few weeks without getting bored of the routine. There are ones for boxing, yoga, aerobics and many dancing ones for your review.

You can also perform simple exercises in your home with no videos or equipment needed. You can do squats, sit ups, push ups, lunges, jumping jacks and run in place all in your house. You should always start out with a few sets of each until you build up stamina and strength and gradually increase them as you become more comfortable. Another very fun method of getting in shape is by playing with your children. This not only whips you into shape, but it also gives you additional quality time with your little ones. Play outside as you would if you were a child, play football, basketball, tennis, kickball, soccer and get on those swings at the playground. Get your body in motion and you will discover your inner child while entertaining your children at the same time. Run around your neighborhood with your children (if they are old enough) and as you become a better athlete you can all track your progress together as far as how quick your time becomes with each day. You can purchase a jump rope for around two dollars at a local store and by suing that just eight to ten minutes per day you can burn almost three hundred calories. You must find a routine that you can work around the rest of the demands of your life and that you find exciting and not boring. Try to include making better choices for your meals and snacks as well to boost your weight loss plan along with your exercise regimen, it will only take you one week of being active to notice your body changing for the better.

Letters: Brace yourself, the new taxes from the Democrats are about to send the middle class into oblivion
Dear Editor, So, local liberal Marc Perkel wants to know how the Democrats can win mid-term elections this fall? The answer is to feed the voters MORE Democratic KoolAid – their standard political drink that is laced with the poison of lies, distortions, and half-truths – which your letters to The Dispatch reveal that you have swallowed completely. Obama and his gang of left-wing socialists have …

Here’s how to fit exercise into a busy schedule. If you’re like me, you’re busy, kinda stressed out, have many things pulling at you in many directions, and on top of that you need to find time to workout. It usually doesn’t happen. The gym becomes just another problem for you. Read this article if you’re looking for a solution to being able to get your workouts in.

Fit Exercise into a Busy Schedule

1. Do it during commercials, before going to the bathroom, and while you cook

These are 3 times where you can sneak in 2-3 minutes of exercise. Done multiple times each day, THAT ADDS UP to a lot of working out. A great thing about this is that you don’t sweat… usually. Also, it’s been PROVEN that these type of mini-workouts are much better at increasing the speed of your metabolism… as compared to the normal 30-60 minute workouts once a day.

Don’t think this is hard either. You can do jumping jacks, jump rope, jump on a mini-trampoline, or do some pushups. Whatever.

2. Do hard, fast-paced exercises in 5 minutes

You can do something like fast bodyweight squats. Do as many as you can in 5 minutes. Trust me, that’s all the workout you’ll need for the day. Running up some stairs for 5 minutes non-stop also is great. These are intense. That’s why you can get away with doing just 5 minutes of them in a day. You don’t need much of these exercises to get great weight loss results.

This is how to fit exercise into a busy schedule.

The best kind of weight loss is natural weight loss – no restrictive diets, no pills or potions. Your body uses the food you eat as fuel to power you through the day, and fat is reduced in a safe, steady, wholly natural way while at the same time your muscles are strengthened and toned to be sleek and beautiful. Sounds impossible doesn’t it?

But it’s actually quite simple. Please note that I said simple, not easy. Two different things!
The missing factor is exercise. If you burn up more calories in the form of moving your body than you take in as food, then you lose fat – your body takes fat from storage to “top-up” your system. It’s fitting exercise into our modern lives that’s a problem that would baffle Einstein!

You’d think that, as a Personal Trainer, I’d get lots of exercise in the course of my work, wouldn’t you? Actually, I don’t. My work involves supervising my clients’ exercise – checking their posture constantly as they do push-ups – chatting to them as they pound along on the treadmill so I can tell how many words they can say before they have to take a breath. Which tells me how hard they are working without having to constantly check a heart-rate monitor; if they can discuss the plot of last night’s CSI Miami in gory detail, they’re not working hard enough!

Having a Personal Trainer makes it easy. Not the exercise, of course, but making yourself do it. Your PT turns up 3 times a week at the crack of dawn looking as cheerful as a hungry Rottweiler and you do the exercises for an hour because you have no choice. One of my regular clients offered me more money to go away again!!

But it’s not that straightforward for the rest of us. Believe me, I’d like a Personal Trainer too, but I can’t afford one. More than that, I’d like a Personal Chef. It would be my dream to have healthy, tasty food served up to me several times each day – calorie counted and with the proper ratios of veg – organic of course – all sorted for me. All I’d have to do is eat and enjoy it. Gordon Ramsay would do nicely. Back to reality (sigh!)

And reality is what I’m talking about here. Fitting exercise into an already crowded schedule can seem to be the hardest thing in the world. And the least important – even though it’s actually the MOST important, next to remembering to feed the kids and pick them up from the school bus.

Sadly, we Moms in particular, tend to regard exercise as “me” time – and promptly put it to the bottom of the To Do pile along with everything else that is good for our welfare or that we enjoy. We feel guilty taking time out, so we only exercise if we’ve done all our chores. Which is never! I have known my mother refuse to come to an exercise class which she enjoys because she hasn’t finished the ironing. How crazy is that? and how many of us would do the same?

She has back problems. The exercise does her good. The ironing cripples her. ‘Nuff said. And yes, I have offered to do it ( I was going to send it to the girl that does mine!). But I don’t do it right, apparently. So here are just a few ideas for fitting a little exercise into a crowded day – because a little done often is just as good as one big burst:

 

Go for a walk, even if you only have 10 minutes. Stuff the ironing! Use the stairs at work instead of the lift. Go see people instead of emailing Walk the kids to school Dust with determination and vacuum with vigour! You’ll be surprised how many calories that burns. Get off the bus a stop early Shop until you drop! (I love that one) Dance round the kitchen to your favourite pop song. The kids’ll think you’ve gone bonkers and might even make you a cup of tea. Take up something that you used to enjoy – like horseriding. An hour trotting around will burn something like 400 calories and tone your muscles. But be prepared to walk like John Wayne for 3 days after! Insist the kids let you join in with games like softball. Even if your son never wants you on his side because you always run the wrong way!

Let me be the first to tell you, if I can fit exercise into my busy schedule of being on the road flying all around the US for 20 out of 30 days a month, YOU CAN TO!

Did I hear you say fitting exercise into your busy schedule? That’s as absurd as saying that there are eight days in a week right?!

First, you’ve never exercised before or engaged regularly in a sport; second, you’ve never been into the fitness crowd and have had meager time for such pursuits, and third, you’re far too busy to even think of exercise.

In other words, YOU’RE JUST NOT INTO IT.

Of course your friends talk about it and rave about the latest fitness craze, but you’ve seen it too often: some of them are on the “on-again-off-again” treadmill / stair master mania, and you wonder why they haven’t shred the fat that they’re desperately still trying to hide.

Seeing what your friends go through and not seeing any results, you cling to the notion that your total lack of interest is justified.

You’re not the least bit inclined to engage in these circus-like contortions or do those mindless freestyle strokes in the water. That would only encroach into your already busy schedule of juggling family, home and career. These three combined – husband/children/work are your exercise.

Yup, we’ve got a problem.

That mindset is like a seething volcano that’s about to erupt. If you stubbornly cling to the notion that the “fat to trim” concept is merely a myth and a figment of the imagination of a handful of oddballs, your health could be going into “eruption mode” soon, like a restless volcano.

Have you looked at your body lately? Have you taken stock of your overall physical well-being?

Before tackling the idea of fitting exercise into your busy schedule, it might be better if we start with the concepts of self-assessment and then familiarize ourselves with the disease-prevention aspect of exercise.

Once you’ve accepted the fact that your body needs overhauling, and that exercise is good for your health and business – then we can talk about some of the ways that you can include exercise into your roller-coaster existence.

This article is part of several articles that I will be posting and submitting over the next several days is your KEY to fitting exercise into your life. And rest assured, this article along with the rest that I will be submitting, already assumes that you’re a busy person with a life to lead; and that’s why the tips that I present to you are specifically designed to fit in with your busy lifestyle!

To keep things organized and simple, the articles will be broken down into five easy sections:

Section 1: Assessing Physical Damage And Accepting the Importance of Exercise

Section 2: No Matter How Busy you Are, there are Ways you can Exercise

Section 3: Busy Traveler? You can Fit Exercise into your Trips

Section 4: Exercise Aids To Go

Section 5: Information / Resources for the Hurried and Harried

Read them in order, or if you wish, focus on the section that is most relevant to you right now. Regardless of how you choose to read these articles, you can be confident of one thing: once you apply the advice within these pages, your busy life will include something new and important: exercise!

• fitness concept (1)

Hopping in and out of planes is exercise enough, you say. But that’s not the kind of exercise that will condition your heart, make your reflexes and joints more fluid, keep the sugar levels or keep you from swinging from one mood to another!

Nor is it the kind of exercise that will make you euphoric after a good cardiovascular session. You need to counteract the effects of jet lag, artificial air in pressurized aircraft cabins and sky fatigue. Suzanne Schlosberg says,

“Sometimes your travels help you recognize how humdrum your workout routine has become. At home, it’s easy to fall into a rut – to use the same weight machines in the same order, week after week, month after month, simply out of habit. But a trip may take the routine out of your routine. You may have no choice but to try new strength exercises or jog in the pool instead of swim laps. And you might find these new pursuits so enjoyable that you add them to your fitness repertoire at home.”

Common Obstacles

What are some of the reasons why travelers do not incorporate exercise while they’re on the road?

They’re stressed or too tired

They don’t feel comfortable about working out in unfamiliar surroundings

They don’t have access to a hotel gym

But if they made just a tiny effort to change this thinking, they’d be on the road to fitness sooner.

Engaging in exercise allows you to get out of that bubble of meetings, seminars and tours.

Walk when on the Road

When traveling, have a pair of good walking shoes (trainers preferably) so that you won’t feel so daunted about getting from one side of the airport to another.

Having the right pair of walking shoes will encourage you to walk up the stairs instead of take the escalator, to walk instead of taking the conveyor belt, and to transfer from one concourse to another on foot instead of taking the shuttle service.

You may not know it, but walking these long distances with your luggage in tow serves as a combination/weight lifting exercise!

Fitness while Flying

Once settled comfortably on the plane, make sure you time your stretching and walking periods. If it’s just an hour’s flight, walk around the plane once and do your stretching at the back of the plane; if it’s a three hour to five hour flight (east to west in the North American continent), try to get up from your seat and walk around at least once every hour, doing leg extensions and trunk/neck movements.

If you’re crossing the Pacific or Atlantic oceans, those killer flights need not kill you. Increase the frequency of your stretches and walking.

Airlines such as Japan Air Lines show videos of how travelers can incorporate flexibility movements while seated or standing. Take full advantage of these videos. The exercises may help you ward off fatigue and jet lag.

A note about DVT

In the last five years, there have been reports about flight passengers, especially in economy class, suffering from DVT – deep vein thrombosis.

The link between confining airplane seats and deaths from DVT (formation of deadly blood clots) has been established by the United Nations World Health Organization. It has nothing to do with gender, risk factors or genetics. Everyone is at risk in economy class! This should constitute compelling reason to integrate exercise while high in the sky.

To make exercise possible while traveling, schedule your flights so that when you get to your destination, you don’t rush through dinner and then go to sleep.

Try to arrive during the late afternoon/early evening, to give you time to shake off the fatigue from the trip, and have at least an hour to do exercises either in your hotel room or in the hotel gym.

Important “to do” things when traveling

Be fully rested before a trip – have the usual “to pack” items ready well in advance so you’re not scampering for them at the last minute, depleting your energy levels.

Time your sleep correctly – as soon as you board, get the local time of your destination and set your watch accordingly. If it’s already night time in your destination, wear blindfolds and ask for a pillow and try to catch a few winks.

Drink plenty of water – wine and cocktails will only dehydrate you further; note that humidity levels inside aircraft is below 10%, so water is your best bet.

If your job requires you to travel at least four times a month, ask your company’s travel department to book you in hotels with gyms or a swimming pool.

Make time out of your travel schedule to insert a workout into your grinding schedule.

Here’s a friendly suggestion: get up earlier in the morning and before or after breakfast, head over to the gym and do a brisk walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes, or do the rowing machine (great for the core muscles, back problem reliever) for 10 minutes.

This session is just to wake you up from your travel stupor. See if you can walk to your business appointment instead of taking a cab (that’s another 10 minutes).

At night before going to bed, go to the hotel gym again and lift weights for 10 minutes, to complete your workout for the day. This way you did your cardio and resistance training, two essential components of a fitness program.

Now, tell us, doesn’t a 10-20 minute session sound less intimidating than clocking 1.5 hours in the gym?

Working out with Friends

Another friendly suggestion: if you’re traveling in a group, ask a colleague if he or she would do a game of squash or tennis with you. The concierge can give you local addresses of sports or recreational centers in the vicinity.

When there’s no Gym!

If the hotel gym is crowded or “temporarily closed for maintenance,” you can still exercise – in the comfort of your room.

Here are some exercises that you can perform:

Turn on the TV or sound system and jog in place; or look up the TV guide and see if some old Jane Fonda or Denise Austin shows are on. Get on with the beat

Jog in place or jump rope (great cardiovascular workout)

Conduct floor exercises (described below)

Floor exercise 1: the Cobra (or back extension). Lying on your stomach as though getting ready for push-ups, keep your hands on your side with palms facing down and fingers pointed forward. With your hands, push to lift your torso off the floor (ensure you’re lifting head, shoulders and chest only).

Keep pelvis on the floor and your head looking ahead. Hold and then release. Repeat 3 times. You should feel your spine lengthen. Joe Decker recommends not just pressing back with your hands, but also pushing your upper body up and forward.
Do not tilt your head back to look at the ceiling (many people make this mistake). This puts a strain on your neck.

Floor exercise 2: Crunch (for lower abdominals). The lower abdominals are the weakest muscles in your torso because they are rarely worked, and they’re the first to sag after childbirth and after menopause.

This exercise will help:

Lying flat on your back with your knees bent, cross your arms over your chest. Squeeze your buttocks, tighten your abdomen and push your lower back into the floor. Hold for 10-20 seconds, breathing normally. Relax, and then release. Repeat as often as you can, without overworking yourself

Floor exercise 3: Hurdler’s Stretch. Bend the knee towards the front, and then tuck your lower leg in toward the opposite thigh. Stretch gently toward the straight leg. Do not bounce. This movement is like the ballet movement when an arm goes above the head gracefully, which stretches the sides of the trunk to increase flexibility.

If you pick up any exercise book, there will be a rich inventory of exercises you can perform while on the go. Pack this in your bag so you can refer to it for correct form and posture.

Yoga

Yoga on the train? Yes! A news report was published in the Montreal Gazette recently saying how many overstressed Germans still hide behind their papers rather than exercise. We’re sure Americans and Canadians are no less guilty.

So these commuters are being taught yoga and relaxation techniques on their way to and from work. Instructors are now in what the German government calls “wellness trains” in southern Germany. This was an initiative taken by Deutsche Bahn – Germany’s state-owned railway. The organization decided to offer relaxation and yoga techniques to calm an anxious work force.

- Select the design of the equipment in such a way that you can get maximum workout from it and the expansion and contraction of muscles occur in a better way.
- The ease of use is another major factor, which ought to be taken into consideration.

How to find the discount fitness equipments?

Many health conscious people are now ready to pay anything to maintain a lean physique. Yet, there are many who can’t afford gym and fitness centers or they consider them as an added cost and are in search of discount fitness equipment. The most common way from which discount fitness equipment can be obtained is through the internet.

The setback related to buying discount fitness equipment:

- The most common problem with the internet sites is that they charge heavy prices for the shipping and handling of the equipment. Therefore, look for the site which demands less additional charges.

- Another major problem with the online shopping of the fitness equipment is of scamming. The equipments which are shown on websites are not the same when they are delivered at home. So users must be cautious about this fact.

- Go for the purchasing of fitness equipments during particular periods (it may be a festival season or an off-season) because most of the online retailers offer heavy discount during this season.

Do not let the retailer sell you second hand equipments in the guise of discount fitness equipment.
