It says “Either you make excuse or you make money”, same applies to Exercise and Fitness. We all know the importance of doing Exercise in our life. But either people don't do it or do it in an incorrect pattern.
Over some time, I realized the reasons behind this is that people are having their own opinion as well as myths about the exercise and their whole definition of health is misplaced.
Here are few facts I would like to discuss as Fitness Coach, If you are one of those having some or other opinion or myths about Exercise, Lets clear that cloud, so everyone can start, start with the right mindset.
# Opinion/Query/Excuse: I don’t have time to do the exercise
Me: Today everyone is so much busy in their work and hectic life, that there is no time for themselves. So the solution here is to prioritize daily events and do some modification in the timetable.
Here is the role of your decision and discussion with Fitness coach comes into the picture.
g. If you are getting up every day, say at 7 am, can you start getting up at 6:45 am and start with 5 to 10 minutes of exercise. A fitness coach can design a workout program depending upon your need and comfort. E.g.static stretches, dynamic stretches, resistance training, structural exercise, functional workout. The goal is TO START. If you do this consecutively for 30 days, do you know the compound effect of this? It's 150 minutes of exercise!! Surprised! From no time to 150 minutes. So just START.
# Opinion/Query/Excuse: A Teenager should not lift weights as weight training exercise stunts Height.
Me: Height is majorly a genetic dependent factor which also influences hormones and your nutrition intake mainly Calcium, Protein and Phosphorus. Logically speaking, this is the phase when growth hormones, sex hormones are at their peak for overall growth and development of Body. Functional exercise and weight training exercise is proven to have a boosting effect on all this. They also help to increase nutrients absorption that improves bone density.
# Opinion/Query/Excuse: As a girl, I don’t do weight training because I don’t want to look masculine.
Me: First thing is weight training is for musculoskeletal strengthening which is important for men as well as for women. Male hormones are responsible for Muscle hypertrophy in boys, therefore girls need not worry about this. Girls who are having hormonal imbalance would get great help with a weight training exercise.
# Opinion/Query/Excuse: Today is my first day of exercise, let's start with heavy weights for faster results.
Me: Before giving a relative explanation, I would like to ask what would have happened if we had trigonometry in the first standard. I think you got my point clear. If we respect our mental system, we should go at the same pace as our physical system.
So many people are fired up or overexcited or having some time-bound goal. And on first day/week, they think of lifting heavy weights or doing 100 squats or even do three-four hours exercise session will give them the quick result. But here, it's important to know, the reason for starting exercise should not be a quick fix treatment but to adopt it as a healthy habit for a lifetime. Lifting Heavyweights is, of course, gives a great effect, but it should not come at the cost of any injury.
What’s the right intensity of weight and rep range in our first initial days depend on our current fitness level, our age, our fitness goal and medical history. Start the exercise which sustains long.
# Opinion/Query/Excuse: I do simple walking because I worry that if I leave any kind Heavy Exercise then I'll gain more weight and skin sagging.
Me: This fear is heard not only for Exercise but also for dancing, swimming and even doing Surya namaskar.
As explained above, the purpose of exercise and starting with what's going to be sustainable is important at this point of discussion also. I feel, why we should start with a doubt that I will not continue with this particular exercise for longer.
An important point of discussion here is, muscles help to hold our skin tighter. That means as long as we do any form of exercise, muscle tone and strength are going to get maintained.
Any form of exercise mentioned above whether it is swimming or weight training or yogasana, tones muscle with their way. What does this mean, do exercise for your total health. Make a weekly schedule with the help of fitness coach, where you can do all kind of exercise so the fear of not doing an exercise (one kind) will not exist.
