I want each of you to know how I got my physical fitness groove back. What is groove?
I define groove as a state of mind, a personal comfort zone to be more exact. Anyhow, I got my groove back by asking myself three very important questions, they read as follows:
1. Do you enjoy your current health?
2. What are you going to do to improve your physical conditioning?
3. When are you going to start changing your current health?
These three questions helped me get my physical conditioning back in order. In other words, I had to minister unto myself in order to get back to the level of physical conditioning I know I needed to achieve.
So if you will, please follow me as I answer these three questions….
No, I did not enjoy the condition of my health on December 31, 2006. I had a physical examine complete with blood work, it let me know I needed to get my groove back. Would it be easy, absolutely not. the most important thing I did was critically think about where I am today and project where I wanted to be in the future.
In my case I decided to develop a 12 month program allowing ample time to achieve my fitness goals. As each day passes I am enjoying my current health and feeling better and better each day.
The answer to the second question is consistency. Consistently get up every morning to exercise. My conditioning regiment consist of stretching for 20 minutes, resistance band workout for 20 minutes, and weight lifting for 20 minutes.
The answer to my third question is, I started my current conditioning program in January 2007. My program includes physical conditioning, modified diet program that consist of six small meals a day to accelerate my metabolism, and at least eight hours of sleep. Sleep is important because it helps your body to recover and lose weight.
I encourage you to start your own conditioning plan. You will add years to your life and feel so much better.
