Fit exercise into your busy schedule? That’s as absurd as saying that there are eight days in a week. First, you’ve never exercised before or regularly played a sport. Second, you’ve never been into the fitness crowd and third, you’re far too busy to even think about exercise. In other words, You're just not into it. Of course, your friends talk about it and rave about the latest fitness craze, but you’ve seen it too often, some of them are on the “on-again-off-again” treadmill/stair master mania, and you wonder why they haven’t shed the fat that they’re desperately still trying to hide. Seeing what your friends go through and not seeing any results, you cling to the notion that your total lack of interest is justified. You’re not the least bit inclined to engage in these circus-like contortions or do those mindless freestyle strokes in the water. That would only encroach into your already busy schedule of juggling family, home, and career. These three combined – husband/children/ are your exercise. Before tackling the idea of fitting exercise into your busy schedule, it might be better if we start with the concept of self-assessment and then familiarize ourselves with the disease-prevention aspect of exercise. Once you’ve accepted the fact that exercise is good for your health, then you can consider some of the ways you can include it in your life. Lifespan and Physical Appearance The average life span is 80 years, give or take a few years. The truth is, a significant number of people look and feel 80 before their time. They have: sagging dry skin unsightly posture uneven and unsteady walk aching joints If their outward appearance is bad, imagine what the inside machinery is like. Most likely, it’s even worse: clogged blood vessels heart problems mounds of sugar and fat parked in or around vital organs Conditions such as diabetes, nervous tension, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease that are silently brewing. If fitness authorities had it their way, they’d create legislation to make exercise mandatory as soon as a baby leaves the cradle, not during the teenage years when obesity is likely to strike. But fitness shouldn’t be associated with any age. You can start at 10 or 30 – even at 50 or 60. Fitness should not be seen as the cure for an illness you already have but as preventative maintenance. If you make exercise part of your day, Denise Austin believes you’ll already experience some noticeable benefits.
People are still debating how much exercise an individual needs, but for people with type 2 diabetes, exercising three or more times a week improves fitness and blood sugar levels. If you have type 2 diabetes and are overweight, exercise done with the following parameters would be of tremendous benefit: intensity of 60%-70% maximal heart rate, with a duration of 30 or more minutes, 4 to 7 days each week. There have been hundreds of documented reports that reveal how people’s lives have significantly improved and the remarkable transformation that their bodies experience after they decided to take ownership of their weight and fat problems.
