There has been a incredible amount of advances in recent years as far as technology, communication, and other useful inventions. One big draw back of all these wonderful things that make our lives easier, is that we are getting fatter and fatter.
Two or more generations ago, this wasn’t the case. Most people didn’t have the problem with obesity that our society has today. Most people were slim, and healthy. Our grandparents exercised on a regular basis. Much more than we do.
The reason for this is that most people back in those days had to work really hard at their jobs. Only the ultra rich could afford to sit at a desk the whole day. People got so much exercise before, not because they wanted to, but because they had to.
Of course, we know that everything is different today. We don’t have to exercise, so we don’t. For the most part, this is a good thing. We have better medicine, and better technology that improves our lives dramatically. But of course, we are getting fatter as a result.
The simple way to cure this is to work in some automatic exercise into your daily routine. The simplest kinds of exercises are also the most useful. You don’t need an expensive gym membership, or a whole new wardrobe.
Many people are happy to realize that just a few (in some cases only three or four) minutes a day can be plenty. This will get you started on a program that can dramatically improve your life.
What are some good ones to do? Anything that works the largest muscle groups. This means sit ups, push ups, squats and all forms of yoga. The key is to only do what you are comfortable with, and not push yourself. Even if you can do only one of each, that’s fine. Let yourself get better slowly over time.
It’s tempting to jump in five hundred percent to a new exercise program, but that usually ends in burnout and frustration. By starting slowly you have a much better chance of developing a habit that can stay with you for life. You’ll be surprised how quickly you can do this and lose weight.
