Making Fitness A Part Of Daily Life
It seems kind of funny to me when people ask how can
they make fitness part of their daily lives because
I often wonder if they really want the truth. The reason
I say that is because fitness is a lot like any other
hobby. You have those that dabble and then you have
those that are, well, a little farther out of the norm.
It reminds me of that quote where Jack Nicholson says
"Truth? You can't handle the truth!" You see,
the fact of the matter is that some of the fitness crowd
do things on a daily basis that to "normal"
people seems a little strange.
If you want to answer a question like how to make fitness
a part of your daily life you have to look at who you
are talking to. For the average person just getting
into fitness, you would say a very politically correct
bunch of tidbits like what is about to follow:
- Walk to work instead of driving.
- Park further from the mall and walk more.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
- Walk during your lunch hours.
That all sounds pretty familiar doesn’t it? It's
pretty standard fair for a personal trainer to blurt
out when trying to give some general guidelines. But
what about that other part of the population that would
like to make fitness a part of their daily lives? You
know, the ones that are a little "out there".
The people that the normal folk would call, "fitness
nuts".
Here is how is how a fitness nut would act on a regular
day because they love fitness and moving is a joy that
has no comparison.
You wake up and immediately drink a glass or two of
water. You know you are dehydrated after all night.
You jump into the shower and let the hot water warm
up your muscles and you start your stretches. A couple
chest stretches using the shower wall, some deep squat
holds, a couple lunge holds for the hip flexors and
some forward bends to ease up the hamstrings from your
previous leg workout. Funny I know but all these stretches
make shaving your legs a whole lot easier!
After the shower you have to get your daily clothes
from the laundry downstairs, so you bear crawl down
the stairs. Once you have your laundry, you jump up
the stairs taking them two at a time. Then you bear
crawl back down because you dropped a sock and your
t-shirt.
After you have breakfast, you go to brush your teeth
and hang from your doorway chinup bar to get a good
stretch. You're feeling pretty good this morning so
you throw in 5 chinups too while your at it.
After work you didn’t feel like going to the gym
and that's o.k. because you know how your body works
and you know you need a nap before you can really pound
out a super intense workout.
After your nap you go over to your laptop and crank
up your favorite tunes. You decide to workout at home
today because that's what you feel like doing. You decide
on this workout:
- 5 Handstand Pushups
- 10 One Legged Squats
- 15 Chinups
You set your watch to 30 minutes and decide to do as
many rounds of the above circuit as you can before the
alarm goes off. 10 minutes later you are sweating like
crazy. Your spouse thinks your insane and your kids
are laughing their heads off. The most important thing
is that they admire you for taking care of yourself
so that you will be around for many, many years to take
care of them.
30 minutes later you're all finished and only 10 feet
from your own shower and family. After everything is
said and done you lay in bed with a smile on your face
and slip into a deep sleep with a smile on your face.
You're physically tired and very happy because you are
one of the rare few that make fitness a part of your
daily life.
