DO SOME VOLUNTEER WORK
Volunteer work is a great weight to increase your activity level as well as help out those
around you. Many of the things that volunteers offer to do involve healthy physical activity.
Work like this can not only keep you active, but can help you give back to your community.

BALANCE YOUR BACK AND FRONT
Make sure that you balance your
back and front when working out. By only
working out the lower back or abdominal
muscles, you are going to have back pain.
Therefore, you should exercise both of
them every time in order to prevent yourself
from having back pain that can interfere
with your workout routines.

LIFE SOME WEIGHTS
Think about what you want to accomplish
by starting your weight-lifting regimen.
If you dream of muscles, lift weights that
are heavier in order to get used to that level
of intensity. To build your arm muscles, do
more reps and you will get more toned.
Try getting weight belts, or using other types
of weights to exercise your body throughout
the day. Over extended periods of time,
a weight belt can actually do more damage
than help. The muscles in the abdominal
and lower back regions may weaken, increasing
the likelihood of injury, if a belt is
always worn.
