You have probably worked long hours and many years to get where
you are professionally. It took hard work and real dedication to
achieve the success you enjoy now. Reaching professional goals
is something to be proud of, but few stop to consider the
physical tradeoffs this success often requires.
Few people stop during their climb up the corporate ladder to
consider what their daily lifestyle may be doing to their health.
Often, achieving success means spending day after day at a desk
or standing behind a counter. Americans don't get nearly enough
exercise, and with that comes health risks. Those risks include
osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and a number of
other related health problems.
It is critically important to get proper exercise on a regular
basis. Without it, you will almost certainly have pains and
mobility problems down the road. But the right exercise regimen
not only can decrease the risk of serious health issues, it can
also help you achieve even greater goals, both personally and
professionally.
Many don't realize that half-hearted trips to the gym several
times a week simply won't cut it when you're trying to improve
long-term health. A lot of people who work out regularly may not
be getting the kind of exercise that prevents health problems and
allows them to enjoy a full, active life.
The problem with most workouts is they focus on strengthening
specific muscles or areas of the body and are very time
consuming. That's great if you're a bodybuilder, but that's not
how our bodies normally work. While this offers physical
improvement in the form of tighter muscles and reduced fat, it
fails to provide the bending, twisting and abrupt stops that are
important to a truly effective exercise routine. These kinds of
motions are common in everyday life, like bending over to pick up
your keys. Failing to work them into an exercise routine means
the body will never be trained for common movements, which
naturally grow more difficult for us as our bodies age.
So, while thousands of individuals make monthly payments on
expensive exercise equipment and gym memberships that promises to
make them look better, they are neglecting the type of movement
that extends health benefits down the line.
In the U.S., people 35 to 54 years old account for more than one
million sports-related injuries each year. While that number
sounds imposing, it is completely within our power to change the
statistic. So how can we lessen our own risks?
The solution is to combine exercise with common movements. Use
exercises that approximate the kind of speed and movement you use
in sports or other active tasks. Movements like lunges, squats
and jumps all build muscle, improve balance and when performed
quickly and repetitively, can provide an effective cardiovascular
challenge.
The best part about this effective workout is that it doesn't
require expensive equipment or a lot of time to pull it off.
Getting back to basics with exercise balls, medicine balls and
resistance bands is all you need to help prevent injury, as well
as tone and shape your body into a stronger, healthier physique. Howard Waldstreicher specializes in helping active, busy people
learn effective workout techniques. Howard designs routines that
don't require expensive workout gear, and yet provide more
impressive results in less time. See Howard's half-hour exercise
program that gives you precisely the advantages he talks about at
