Keeping Fit and Growing Older.

I dont know about you, but, as I get older, its increasingly difficult to stay in shape. I’ve never been lazy, but, now I’ve passed into my forties, it takes a lot more motivation to keep exercising. I’ve got a “middle age spread”, normally its spread out in front of the TV.

Still, we dont keep snacky food in the house, I’m not a huge eater and I dont drink alcohol from one week to the next, so just how much exercise do I need to do to prevent my waist line increasing?

There doesnt seem to be much information out there for us guys and girls who are, well lets say, a little less subtle than we once were. I hope to change that, and give you some informative advice on where to look and what to do. I’m no doctor, so if you are starting out on a new regime for a new you, please consult your doctor before you start. Well, I’m going to be updating this blog with my progress.

OK. Firstly. Before you begin any exercise, dont forget to stretch. If you are running, stretch those calfs, thighs, hamstrings and groins. Start at the bottom and work up. Make sure you are really stretched and warm. Start of running nice and smoothly and at a nice pace. If you are going to use running as a part of your fitness regime, you’ll need to formulate some goals and I’ll help you with that in a later post.

I used to play football to a fairly high standard. (Back in the late 80′s/early 90′s!!) and the concept of warming down after training or a match was unheard of, but, I promise you, you’ll feel so much better for it. So, when you have finished your workout or run stretch those muscle you’ve been working much like you did before you started. 5 or 10 minutes at the start and end of your exercise will certanly eleviate the possibly of pulling muscles and feeling stiff the day after.

 

A great new product that I’ve seen on the TV is milife. The can be found at www.milife.com and their system gives you a method of tracking your exercise plan on line. It looks great and well worth a try if you dont have the will power to stick to an exercise plan yourself.

I’ll do the leg work (no pun intended) so you get clear concise advice on exercise and where to look. I do think this guy is worth a look:-

Sebastian is not old, well if I’m not, he’s not, but he has come up with some cracking programs that I urge you to try. What can you lose except a few pounds? By the way, Sebastian has just 3% body fat!!
