The Real Fit Man

April 12th, 2009 · No Comments · Men's Health

The world today has changed so much, especially in the aspects of fashion and health. So many women today are aiming to weigh no more than 100 pounds, while men are always pressured to have the sexy 6-pack abs to be categorizedas healthy. It is more important to note that the real definition of health is what you have inside, compared to what the exterior presents. Here are some tips to help you become the fittest averageindividual.

1. Psyching up. Tell yourself that there is no universal definition of health. Every person who thinks and feel healthy is healthy. There are so many models and athletes who use illegal drugs, develop bad mental and eating habits as well as undergo drasticsurgical measures just to fit in the category. Tell yourself that you intend to be healthy the natural way, as your schedule and body allows. Breathe deeply and tell yourself that you are a beautiful and strong individual, ready to be fit from this day on.

Give yourself a present before you start, you may pick the Groomsmen gifts you got just last week. The vital thing is that you feel specialand help yourself to something good before you decide to get fit your own way.

2. The meaning of exercise. Exercise should primarily lead to the goal of health and fitness. Physical appearance should only be a mere second or third in your priorities. Do not train too much that you neglect other important aspects of your life. Createa workout schedule that you can stick to, even though how busy your workdays are. Make a sound eating plan that you can stick to for the long-term. Stay away from impracticalgoals. Improve your conditioning and strength first, and the physical results will just follow.

3. Feeling better. You may want to get rid of vices and other bad habits that tend to delay or prevent you from reaching your health goals. I decided to give away my Liquor flask and NFL flask. I still drink red wine once a week, only to improvethe condition of my cardiovascular system and heart. If I’m at a party, I’d take no more than 2 bottles of light beer. Try to stick to one bottle only per hour. Also quit smoking and intake of illegal drugs altogether, since these can lead to bloating and low self-esteem.

4. Healthy in and out. It is always important to communicate with others around you, so you can compare how close you are to your fitness goals. Take time to socialize now and then. If you’ve been dieting very strictly for several weeks, give yourself a big dinner, complete with all your favorites like pizza, ice cream, etc. This will remind of your good work. Do not feel guilty about rewarding yourself once a week.

Develop the routine and you will be well on your way to fitness. Personally, I find it better to knowhow you are feeling, instead of just looking at the mirror. Some people will only need a few weeks to get healthy, while others may take longer. The important thing is to make the changes permanent.
