"I hate running. it's so boring." "I joined a gym but i never go because...." "I play tennis a lot -and I also ski. You would think that i would be in great shape, but i am not. Whats the problem?"
There isn't a person alive who wouldn't like to be in a great shape. In fact, most people, at sometimes on their lives, have made an attempt to achieve that goal. But after a stretch of frustrated effort, they quit. Why?
Ussually people stop working out for 2 reasons. First they are bored to death with their routine and the second reason is because they dont see the results. How could they, when their routine is usually lopsided or one-sided? If they are doing aerobics, they run, cycle, jump or swim until they are burned out. and all they have to show for is a little less fat on their bodies (and perhaps a stronger lungs and heart). Their outer body remains out of shape. If they are doing a sport, they schedule time for it, wheter they feel like doing it or not, hoping to burn calories and get shape in the same time. This continues until the sport becomes a burden, and then what they often get from their of their efforts is a body out of balance, shape according to the demands of the sport. If they work out properly in a gym they often have a shapely exterior but their heart and lungs remain unfit-and they quickly hyperventilate-even when is just climbing stairs. In addition, they resent the necessity of spending to much time in the gym-at the expense of other sports they might prefer doing.
What is the needed, then, is a program that isn't boring, doesn't take up a lot of time, allows the individual the option of picking physical activities she/he really loves to do and at the same time results in total fitness: a lean, shapely body, and a healthy strong cardiovascular system--along with strong bones, ligaments and tendons, and vibrant young looking skin. The ideal fitness program not just includes weight training, not just aerobics activities, not just spot reducing, not just sport and not just dieting. It includes them all, incorporating all aspects of fitness for the development of a complete and balanced body.
