We have all heard about the financial crisis. We have all heard it before, if you lose everything you still have your health. Well, many of us have neglected that as we were and still are busy in our lives. Juggling family, friends, work, bills, enjoying life, it goes on and on. Where is the health and fitness in that? Some of us try, we join the gym, walk daily then it slows down as everything else takes over.
This is THE most important time to put your health first. Exercise daily, which will help you relieve stress, anxiety and help you concentrate and boost your immune system. In these times you can not afford to be sick.
Some ideas: Take a walk up stairs instead of lifts, get off the tram or train a stop early, walk the dog or neighbours dog. If you miss a day don't panic just get back on track the next day. Walk with a workmate at lunchtime. You are more likely to do it if you are motivated by another so why not exercise with a partner?
Drink 1.5-2 Litres of water a day. Put a litre jug on your desk at work and get through it, fill it up again and off you go. Carry a bottle of water with you when out and about to get that extra water in
Keep your portion sizes small. ( Also saves $$ ) Fresh fruit and vegies are fantastic this season. Enjoy them, healthy eating!
Spend time scheduling exercise, food shopping, spending time with friends and family, work commitments and time for YOU!! Do something you love.
A suggestion: get out your diary and put all the things you need to do in there even pick a specific time for them all. Include time for exercise and leisure too. If its good enough to do it for work then why not do it for your life!
