Loves you...Love it Back!
It seems more and more people are coming around to this idea that you don’t have to destroy yourself every day in the gym. This concept (crush yourself every day) has led many of us down the path of destroying our bodies. And as we age the price, we pay for that is just too high.
However, we still want to enjoy all the benefits that
come from having a healthy, fit body…little things like the ability to perform
everyday tasks (gardening, moving, walking) easily, or looking good both in and
out of our clothes, enjoying any activity we want, and most of all aging in a way
that serves our highest and best.
The biggest bang for your buck comes from heart rate training, long slow distance, or cardiovascular fitness. Although the time it takes is longer in duration the effort is nowhere near maximal. If you aren’t doing this type of training, start right now. A good heart rate monitor is maybe fifty bucks, and the app is free. Then go do something for about 30 minutes and don’t let your beats per minute go over 125. If it does, slow down and restart. You will find improvement happens quickly and with little effort. But you must pay attention to it and track it. If you can measure it, you can manage it.
There is nothing about this you can’t do at your current fitness level. If you don’t maintain good cardiovascular fitness the rest of your life can be very difficult.
Strap the monitor on and go for a walk. How hard is
that?
