FITNESS<br />
But the good lifestyle has also added a few<br />
extra pounds over the years. And often the body<br />
can no longer keep up with the ever-so-youthful<br />
spirit. Ten years ago, you’d hit the gym and<br />
not think twice about how much you sweat. But<br />
now taking the stairs to the third floor is getting<br />
harder and harder and you don’t even think<br />
about cycling to work anymore. In short: your<br />
fitness level is poor. But where is the problem?<br />
Why not just pick up training again!<br />
AFTER THE WILD YEARS<br />
There are a few things to keep in mind when<br />
training at forty. The young, “wild” years have left<br />
their mark and nothing works like it did at thirty.<br />
Therefore, you should train according to your age<br />
on the way to your dream body. What does that<br />
mean for your everyday training? What do you have<br />
to consider and how can you start training without<br />
problems?<br />
PERSEVERE AND HAVE FUN<br />
Keeping up with good resolutions is an ongoing issue; a constant<br />
struggle for the will to change and keep your self-motivation.<br />
After a strenuous day at work, all you want is rest and relaxation--<br />
and that is sometimes necessary. Fortunately, many discover after<br />
a short time that exercise is an excellent outlet for stress and<br />
anger. The more you exercise, the more calories will be burned<br />
and stress will be reduced. A healthy, agile body gives you serenity<br />
and self-confidence. But with all your zeal and will to get fit again,<br />
don‘t forget your family and friends. Try to integrate them into your<br />
“new”, more active life. Often people in your personal environment<br />
struggle just like you. Don’t exclude them from your journey.<br />
Finally, something very<br />
important. Be patient with<br />
your body and its transformation!<br />
It will take a while<br />
before you can see the first<br />
results in the mirror. There<br />
will be days when you find it<br />
difficult to motivate yourself.<br />
But keep at it and it will pay<br />
off. And one thing is for sure,<br />
from the first day of training,<br />
even if it can be very exhausting<br />
and hard, your body will<br />
thank you for putting in the<br />
effort. (md)<br />
