How to get "not" fit?

Most would agree that it means having a body that is healthy and is maintained by good eating habits, regular exercise and beneficial sleep.  You might also add a balanced personality with well functioning mental health.  Staying healthy during Thanksgiving Seasoncan sometimes be daunting, with all the food on the table.

One method to measure the physical aspects of fitness is with the use of a BMI (Body Mass Indicator) calculator.  You can find one at the Mayo Clinic’s website.  Once you have this information, it is a place to start developing a plan for fitness.  Designing a workout routine can be a daunting experience for a newbie but there is help for this.  A workout builder tool may be what you are looking for.  If you can afford it, you may want to engage a Personal Trainer but how do you know if they are qualified.  There are many things to consider when making this decision.

Choosing a Personal Trainer

One thing that is becoming more popular, because they are effective, is the use of Resistance Bands.  When choosing these bands it is important to get the right level of resistance.   Using resistance bands improves the quality of your exercise routine, strengthens your muscles and builds endurance.  What is you need to sit while exercising?  You may want to check out my website, www.resistancechairsystem.com.  This particular product uses resistance bands and has a bike attachment that can be set to different levels of resistance, according to one’s ability.  If you have issues with your shoulder, then the Freedom Flex Shoulder Stretcher attachment is something to consider.  Check back for end of the year sales on this website.

No matter what your level of readiness for exercise, the best place to start is in your head.  It really doesn’t matter what kind of equipment you have or where you have a membership, you need to take that first step – out the door or onto your equipment before any of this will work for you.
