Staying in the pink of health is essential for enjoying the fruits of life. 'Health is Wealth ' is an aphorism which will always hold its position for all times to come. The overarching significance of keeping up your health cannot be underestimated particularly when one is experiencing more stress due to erratic life-styles and weird diet habits that have become hallmarks of today's fast moving life.

Therefore the very first thing you'd must do when adopting an exercise schedule supplemented by a nutritional plan would be to change your present way of life. You'd need to work out a workout programme that would fit into your daily program. And it shouldn't be like a fad whose novelty wears off over time . You should be regular with your exercise sessions.

Exercise routines should fit your daily schedule

In the present day's fast moving life, fitting your exercise regimen into your daily routine can indeed be a discouraging job. But if you're actually sincere about shedding the additional kilos and have a well-toned body, then you'd be committed to your workout plan.

Walking is considered the best exercise form that mobilises your entire body. Walking for no less than 30 minutes everyday at a steady pace after your morning cuppa or just before you take your dinner in the evening would be perfect.

Have an integral plan in place

If you start with an exercise programme where you guarantee yourself that'll you will get up at 5 in the morning everyday and jog for 3 miles is most likely to end in failure. Set targets that are way more realistic. Like if your start with jogging or walking smartly for thirty mins everyday and then graduating to more intricate and structured work-outs where you make good use of treadmills, stationary bikes, and other exercise apparatus.

Have a fixed timing

Your exercise plan should be such that makes you sweat and feel exhausted at the end of it all. That means you must stretch out for a minimum of thirty to forty five minutes everyday . Second you need to put aside those 45 minutes at any specific hour throughout the day, preferably in the morning. You need to plan in advance, at least for a week.

And to keep you at it, you may have a chum or an acquaintance ( who could be on a similar workout regime ) call on you or send you a SMS. Without a proper schedule, you'd have enough alibis to procrastinate your workout and delay it. You can stick the exercise chart onto your fridge or set the alarm in your phone so that it never goes out of your mind.

Take up gymnasium membership

With time, even the most eclectic of workout regimes can get boring particularly if you're exercising alone. If you're the outgoing type, you'd start hungering for company after a while.

In such an eventuality, the best way out is generally to register for a group fitness program where you'd have an instructor to guide you all though the process . You'd also be able to create a connection with other members who might not only help you to reach your fitness aims but also become your long-term mates.

Have a mix of plans

Running day in and out with mechanical regularity can get tedious long-term. Or running on the treadmill gradually for 45 minutes everyday can tire out the most diehards of health watchers. You can punctuate your exercise regimen with hiking up the local mountains, riding a bike, jogging on the shore, play tennis in your local club, and lift heavy weights sometimes.

Inducements work

Everyone likes to be commended and get rewards for their activities. Now that doesn't mean that you should be stretching out to make it to the final rounds in the Olympics marathon. But at the very least you can look forward to purchasing the smooth pair of Adidas sneakers that you have been eyeing for some time now or getting a deep massage at the parlour on the junction of the 6th and Tenth Broadway Avenue.

Take part in a marathon or a triathlon

Sports bodies and health clubs in towns and cities across the entire world organise marathons, half-marathons, triathlons, and other athletic events across the year. If you exercise constantly, you'd be in a position to qualify for collaboration in such events. It might also be an excellent way of testing your workout skills that you have developed since you started with your fitness program.

Stick to your plan

When you begin with your exercise program, stick fast to it come rain or shine. Keeping yourself fit isn't a temporary matter that's got a fixed start and end phase. You should keep on with your running and jogging on a long term basis.
