Nothing Happens Overnight
Nothing Happens Overnight
Written by Andy Dolezalek Kutting Edge Fitness
It’s never good to be stagnant. The concept of movement is always something that has been important in society. Despite that fact that exercising doesn’t always seem like the most fun thing, and it does seem like for many, it might just mean that you haven’t found the right form of exercising for you. While at times it might seem scary, exercise or lack there of, can have a significant affect on your daily life. Studies have found that exercising can have an affect on number of things such as a person’s level of stress, weight control, mental health and hearth health to just name a few.
There is a lot of correlation between exercising and the muscles of the body. However, people often forget the most important muscle in the body is your heart. The heart benefits significantly from exercising, it helps lower your blood pressure, cholesterol, as well as increasing your body’s ability to use oxygen effectively. All of these factors can your affect your daily life whether you are going to a gym or not.
“It is important to remember that nothing happens overnight. It might take weeks, months or even years but at some point it will get easier and become routine.”
The big picture, our long-term health and wellbeing, is something that is often overlooked. We will often worry about what we can’t do in a short period of time rather than encourage the idea of what we can do over a long period of time. Very few people are good at something the first time they do something, just like a rough draft of a paper is not usually as good as the final. The first time you come to the gym or try a recreational sport it might not go that well or seem extremely hard but that is okay. Its not supposed to be easy at first. If it was there would be no room for growth.
