Fitness Queen

The New Year’s resolutions are always the same: we make, we break and do it again.

This is not surprising that “Get Fit” continues to occupy the top of the list year after year.

The experts say that if this time you decide to take him seriously, to achieve goals you have to start giving up impossible dreams.

“Some people say ‘I’m going to lose 13 kilos’, when five would be more feasible,” said Shawn Talbot, a spokeswoman for the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).

The researcher and program developer advised to realistic expectations. “Compliance is the most attractive research on ‘fitness’: How to get people to comply with your program?” Suggests looking for that sweet añadió.Talbott balance between too and little exercise. “Not so little to no benefits, or both you cannot do it,” he said.

The expert adds that the exercise loves company.

“I recommend to order with a friend. Research says that having someone accountable can double, even triple, the effectiveness. Then follow the plan,” he said.

“You have to be gradual and phased targets, for example twice a week for two months, then up to three times a week for two months,” he added.

An ACSM study showed that motivation to be physically active was higher when there were sports-and exercise-not only in the middle.
“Competition is good,” he said. “You feel as if you leave some skin in the game,” he said.

The history of New Year’s resolutions dates back to ancient Rome and the mythical god Janus, from which “Janus,” January in Latin. It became a symbol of purposes because it had two faces and could look simultaneously at the past and future. Janus was also the guardian of entrances and doors.

Carol Expel, director of the group of ‘fitness’ of the health club chain Equinox, said that every January at the club comes from prospects, with high hopes and a plan.

“They can have the best intentions, but not the right tools,” said Expel. “People say ‘I really want to start exercising but do not know what to do’,” he added and said that it can be daunting.

“If you’ve decided to take the New Year’s resolutions seriously and bother you every year, works with the resources they need,” he said, “whether an agenda, group classes or a personal trainer to help you follow the line “.

Expel said that even those who are unwilling or funds to enroll in a gym or club can achieve their goals of being fit.

“Just let the couch. When you get home from work, go out for a walk” he said. “Studies have documented those three rounds of exercise 10 minutes a day can be very practical,” he said.

Expel says it is a routine to enjoy and follow.

“A bit of lace shows you’re doing a fairly effective job,” he said. “The well-exercised muscles burn calories more efficiently,” he added. Then, of course, nothing beats success.
