exercise tips without joining a gym

Exercise, Exercise. I know.... I know, that word makes most people cringe, but, you know, it doesn't really have to be that way. You don't have to go and join a gym, you can exercise just as well at home. Many people pay some really high gym membership fee's and end up never go back!! well, I'm sorry, but in my book, That's just plain crazy!!

No, I'm talking about the things that we do everyday, like Walking, Gardening, going Swimming or riding on our Bikes. These are commonly known as low impact exercises and they are especially good for you if you are extra weighty as they will put very little or no stress on the Hip, the Knee or the Ankle Joint.

Any activity that raises our heart rates, gets you slightly out of breath or makes you feel warmer is classed as Exercise, but whatever activity that you choose, you should always, always, always, start slowly and then build it up gradually, even if it's only Walking. You should start off by doing about 30 minutes and build up from there. If you take on too much, too soon, you could very well injure yourself by pulling a muscle, and then you wouldn't get any Exercise done at all.

I think around 30 minutes per day for 5 plus days a week is good enough. Even with a busy schedule, I'm sure that most people could fit in 30 minutes per day, even if it just means walking briskly around your house or garden, or going up and down the stairs a few times.

The benefits of exercise are endless. You will be amazed at how much better you will start to feel after you get into the swing of it. Talking about swing, keeping fit should be fun, so when I do my 30 minutes, I just pop on my favorite CD and dance to my hearts content. "Exercise isn't Exercise when you are enjoying yourself".

Water is essential for your good health and well being, but its even more important when you are Exercising, as you will need to replenish the fluids you are losing through sweat.

For healthy exercise, before you start your 30 minutes, it's very, very important that you do some warm up stretches, to warm your muscles through and get them ready for action, and it is equally important to do more stretching at the end of your workout. Do this for about 10 minutes each time and it will help prevent any muscle stiffness.

So,now go find yourself a dance partner and Have Fun getting yourself fit :-)
