For many people, health and wealth are synonymous and physical fitness ensures that a person not only looks healthy on the outside, but is also healthy within.
Running out of options?
There are any number of activities that an individual can engage in in order to increase their fitness, ranging from jogging to early morning walking, or playing team sports with friends, such as basketball. However, in order to develop muscle tone and create a lean physique; joining a gym is likely to be your best option. Bear in mind, though, that it is extremely important for any person who is about to embark on a fitness regime to consult their doctor before commencing.
And the winner is.... YOU!
The benefits of physical exercise are limitless. The improvement and maintenance of health associated with regular exercise has been show to reduce the likelihood of contracting a number of diseases and accordingly, prevent premature death. In addition, the emotional benefits include mood enhancement, stress reduction and increased self-esteem, all of which are a strong barrier to psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety. Strong links between an active lifestyle and longevity have also been proven.
A balancing act
An effective exercise plan should incorporate both cardiovascular activities, as well as a weight training regime. By incorporating both activities, you will burn calories and reduce your body fat percentage as you develop your muscles. In turn, this will ensure that your metabolic rate increases resulting in the desired result of an increase or decrease in your weight.
Focus on results
By focusing your gym activity on particular parts of your body, you can isolate those parts that you wish to improve. For example, your focus could be on improving your abdominal area. Regular sessions focusing only on your abdominals should guarantee you a six-pack.
Finding the beautiful you, within
Nowadays, far too much attention is placed on our outward appearance. Beauty is more than just a perfectly toned body - it also encompasses the inner you and there are ways in which you can develop and enhance the beauty within you.
* Just as the body needs exercise to remain fit and healthy, so too does the brain. By taking time to read books or other material of interest to you, you will exercise your mind and keep it sharp and focused.
* We all encounter stress in our working lives, no matter how much we may love our jobs. By creating special time just for you, you can relieve some of the stress you are experiencing. Whether you take a long, hot bath, watch a movie or just engage in some retail therapy, taking time out to treat yourself is an important step to maintaining your health, and consequently, your beauty.
* Given the innumerable pollutants we encounter every day, it is advisable to protect your skin as much as possible. One method is to use beauty products containing antioxidants which protect the skin from damage-causing pollutants. A dermatologist or skincare specialist will be able to advise you on the best product for your skin.
* Lifestyle choices can also play havoc with both our inner and outer beauty. Not only does smoking have a detrimental effect on our skin and the cells in our body, but it has also been proven to cause a number of diseases and is the leading cause of lung cancer. In addition, the negative impact of smoking on pregnant women and their babies has been well documented. Much the same can be said for the side-effects of excessive alcohol intake.
* People who are non-smokers, should try to avoid being around those who do, as studies have indicated that passive smoking, or secondary smoke inhalation, places non-smokers at risk of developing various illnesses, including cancer.
* Finally, there is much to be said for happiness being a state of mind. By choosing to have a positive and happy disposition, you will automatically radiate beauty from within. Smiling feels good and is contagious. A smile can brighten, not only yours, but someone else's day, too.
