Exercise Accountability

For years I was very active doing all sorts of exercising, but as I began to get older my activity has slowed down. For whatever reason I moved away from working out and as time went on I basically stopped all of that activity. I am now in a period of revitalizing that part of my life.

One of the big reasons that I have decided to get back to exercising is because of my new found diet. As you know I am doing 100% Isagenix food and am blown away at how good I feel. Not putting chemicals in my body is taking responsibility for my health, but it is not the whole answer. You must mix in exercise with that in order to maintain and actually increase muscle mass.

At 54 years of age I am still very agile and have started walking a lot more and doing exercises around the house that don't require me to belong to a gym. As a matter of fact, exercising doesn't require you to spend any money at all. I did purchase a good scale from Tanita and it came with a pedometer. I carry that with me everywhere and they say you should take 10,000 steps a day.  That is a lot of steps!

I also just bought a trampoline and I will begin a workout of 15 minutes on the trampoline a day and then continue to increase my time on a daily basis. Cellular exercising is supposed to be one of the best for you. The bouncing up and down creates vibrations in your body and I have been told that it helps increase your circulation. Professionals have been using trampolines for years and so I thought I would give this a try in combination to my new super food diet.

Since I have made a decision to change my lifestyle in terms of the food I eat I am able to hold myself accountable to my exercising routine. After all I have a desire to be healthy and that includes exercise. Now that I have my food diet under control the only logical thing would be to create an exercise program to help build lean muscle mass. I'll keep you posted on my results. I began this morning and jumped on the trampoline for 15 minutes and I'm feeling great. I'm looking forward to see how this type of exercise will have an effect on my body.

If you are unable to do any exercises with equipment then walk out your front door and just walk for 15 minutes one way and then turn around and walk 15 minutes home. Do that as often as you can and watch what happens. Every little bit helps. Go out and make it an exercise day!!
