Lets face it, it is a heck of a lot less hard to eat whatever, whenever & skip the whole workout thing than it is to live a fit, health lifestyle. You may think you are getting away with not bothering as the changes are not noticeable at first. But they will be....as time slips by, your body is not frozen in time waiting to get moving.... its fading....fast.
There is a high price tag to pay for being an inactive or sedentary person. Lack of muscle building & maintaining exercise can adversely affect the function of the muscles, bones, brain, heart, blood vessels, liver, the intestinal tract & your ability to use glucose & more. Much, much more....
Not doing proper exercise will adversely affect all body systems. This means right down to cellular level where your ability to transfer life enhancing oxygen & nutrients from the bloodstream to all body cells & tissues is diminished. From the top of your head to the bottom of your toes being physically active is the stimulus for the release of the growth & repair hormones that will keep you youthful & free of illness.
Seated table jobs, our obsession with cars, tv addiction, & convenience devices like remote controls & household appliances have created a sedentary modern world. Over 6 of 10 adults are thought about inactive or sedentary. Small wonder that two thirds of the world's population is fat or very fat & 50 percent of us have at least two chronic illness & lots of more have multiple conditions.
Statistics show that it costs much less to stay strong & fit than it does to heal health problems & diseases brought on by not having a proper exercise program in place. Your front line defense method... your immune method is two of the casualties of a weakening human body. The elderly use it or lose it scenario that everyone knows about but seems to ignore until a dreaded diagnosis is given to them.
Think about it... when was the last time you changed the channel without using the remote, walked somewhere in lieu of driving or parked at the far finish of the automobile park in lieu of circling around for two minutes looking for a closer space? If you are like most people, it's been awhile...
If you are like lots of people, you have seldom done strength training exercise in your life & you may wonder why start now? As you age, muscle tissue & strength dwindles, but strength training exercise can reverse this technique. It will also lighten your heart's workload, boost nice cholesterol, help prevent & treat diabetes, ease stiffness from arthritis, help you lose weight, improve your mobility & make you feel a million bucks.
Then it is "throw everything at it man, I don't need to die", or "give me the works, funds is no object, get me well". It is much less hard & cheaper to budget for some workout clothes & a gym membership than a wheelchair & a nurse.
To be effective though is does need to be a regular 2 -3 days per week for the rest of your life. If you don't enjoy exercising, it will be impossible to have a every week technique that includes it. Somehow you must train yourself to love it. & why would not you love something that can benefit you so much.
You will find that when you start exercising on a regular basis, you will notice that you have more energy, you will feel healthier & you will soon understand the wisdom of establishing a workout technique as a permanent part of your every day life.
