Exercise can be a powerful complement to your health.
"Exercise makes you strong" Yes, exercise improves
your circulation, reinforces your heart and lungs. Helps to maintain your focus
which is essential to achieve your daily goals.
Exercise can boost your mood, improve your sex life, help control weight
and help to prevent diseases like diabetes, arthritis, cancer, stress and even depression.
Exercise is essential to maintain your health.
Do the exercises that
you like:
First, you need to
know the most important thing, you don't
have to be an athlete to be able to exercise and be in good healthy shape.
Second, schedule your physical activity. People have a busy
life and for many of us if it is not on the calendar it won't get done.
Finally, if you are a
person that does not exercise
frequently, look for what you like and find something you enjoy; don't push yourself into a gym if you don't
know what to do once you are there. I recommend
finding a physical activity where you can feel motivated and energetic, it
doesn't have to be a sport, dancing is great exercise. Invite a friend maybe that can help you to push yourself to do
it.
As an exercise lover, I
have tried many different sports, gyms, dancing and cardio classes. After a few years I found what I consider to be a good balance
for me as a energetic person.
I enjoy my yoga classes, normally
I do yoga once a week to improve my flexibility, sharpen my focus and to help
me calm down after a crazy day.
Capoeira, is my newer style
of training. I'm still a beginner but I have found It's a great way to exercise, improve your balance, coordination, concentration, burn fat, focus and give you a well toned and
lean body.
What is Capoeira? Capoeira was born in Brazil, originally created
by the slaves from Africa and refined in unique mix of cultures found only in
Brazil. It's a martial art that combines element of dance and music. The game is marked by fluid acrobatic play, feints, and
extensive use of sweeps, kicks, and head butts. Hot celebrities practices this amazing work
out like Ricky Martin, Halle Berry, Adriana
Lima and Gisele Bundchen , Alex Meraz from Twilight. To really excel you need to practice this 5-6
times a week but with my busy schedule I usually only practice 3-4 times a week. It is a really good sweat, a lot of fun and helps
you focus all the time.
I'm practice Capoeira in Nago Academy Martial art & Fitness, with Andre Gusmao
(owner) he started Capoeira when he was 14 years old in Brazil and since then he has never stopped. He opened his Academy in June 2011, it is now a fitness center
where you can find different ways to exercise, from Capoeira to Yoga and Conditioning classes (mix of cardio,
weight, type of training where you always will be training different muscles, making
you stronger and getting in shape in less time).
Combining the right food with exercise will give you
the healthy body and mind that you always wanted. Food plays a very important
roll in this process, a balanced meal ( good fats, good carbs, protein and
vegetables) is the key to looking Fabulous.
Healthy habits are not easy, you need to work hard, stay disciplined and
educate yourself about a healthy life style.
Combining all of this without going crazy and not forgetting to enjoy your
guilty pleasures once in a while.
Remember a pill or drug can make you lose weight for a
short time but only good food and exercise will give you energy, healthy skin
and hair and make you look young and fabulous for a long time.
Nothing is better than to provide your body healthy
food and exercise, it keep you young, happy and rejuvenate you from the inside
out.
