Aging Gracefully and with Great Health

Is It Time To Get In Shape?

11 September 2018 by For Content

Did you think that you'd lose your extra weight this summer by exercising a lot? Perhaps you swam and played frequently with your kids, but there might also have been too many pizzas, too many ice cream sundaes and plain too much indulgence. While every bite was probably fabulous, getting on the scale in the mornings now might have you worried about your health and appearance. If so, from making some personal goals to enrolling in a great gym, here are some ideas that might help you.

Set Some Personal Goals - First of all, don't panic. What good is that going to do, right? And, don't make unrealistic goals either. If you gained, say fifteen pounds, over the summer months or even longer, then consider that it might take at least that length of time to lose your weight. Instead of making a goal to lose a great deal of weight in a short period of time, make a more realistic goal. For example, consider writing down the amount of weight you want to lose. Figure on losing a few pounds each month and set a goal date, say next spring or next summer when you can buy yourself the cutest swimsuit in the store and wear it unashamedly.

Do Something About Your Goal - Instead of saying something like, "I'm never going to eat dessert again," consider limiting your treats to be more infrequent, say once a week. Then choose the most fabulous one you can, knowing that you won't get another for a week. Think about joining a great gym, too. Begin by searching for the best gyms in Roseville. At a gym you'll be able to work with exercise equipment that is designed to strengthen your muscles and your heart, to make your body work the way it should. Consider joining an exercise dance class at the gym. Do you have a friend who would join you by going to the gym on the same days that you go? Maybe you and your friend can reward yourselves when you have lost the weight you have set for your goal. Another idea is to get a personal trainer at the gym. By doing so, you'll be working with a professional who has the training and the experience to choose a regimen especially for you. He or she will encourage you and give you pep talks. Even without a personal trainer, though, attending the gym on a consistent basis and eating healthy foods consistently will more than likely help you to meet your goal of getting in shape in a fun way.
