If people realised the benefits of working out, EVERYBODY would be training in the Gym 3 times per week. It makes you energetic for everyday living; it’s not just for weight loss & sports people!
Many people tell me, as well as all the benefits of weight loss and improved shape, that they feel much better in general. They often only really appreciate how much better condition they are in when they do something that they haven’t done in a while and realise how much more energy they have! For example, only today a client told me about a hill walk they did at the weekend with energy to spare whereas not long ago they struggled to get to the end of the same route. Wouldn’t it make life much more interesting if you went on your next sight-seeing holiday and you felt full of energy to walk around all day without getting tired? Or you could get through your next game of Golf and feel energetic afterwards? Or even just have more energy to do the housework or interact with your children? Think of the time you invest in the Gym (and it should only be about 1 hour per week!) as preparation or life. Make it part of your routine and you may find you have more energy and enthusiasm for everything else in your life.
The correct type of training firms up muscle tissue and boosts your metabolism which means you have more energy. It will also boost your mood and reduce stress, which also makes you feel more energetic.
Exercise doesn’t have to take over your life. It should create more time for you by giving you the Physical and Mental Energy to do more. Start by seeking out a Personal Trainer who will guide you as to how to get the most benefits in the least amount of time spent training. Enjoy your new-found energy!
