How to Get in Shape Regardless of Your Physical Condition

By Joseph D. Cooper  :


My father underwent a number of medically related procedures about twelve years ago that left him weakened and incapacitated to a large degree. Anyone who is used to an active lifestyle finds this very difficult and the same was true of my dad. So instead of just accepting the way things were he decided to begin a workout routine.

People had to help my father in and out of his chair so he wasn't up for running a marathon. But he was prepared to do whatever he could no matter how unimportant it seemed. If you know of someone who is unable to get to a gym due to health issues you might wish to share the following tips with them. These clearly demonstrate why it is so important for everyone to exercise.

Change Your Life By Changing Your Body

We all know that for the most part we are led by our feelings. The key here is to always position yourself so that you feel great most of the time. If you feel different, you will do things differently. After his medical procedures, my father felt depressed and weak. The moment he started to take ownership of his own health, you could see the life return to his face. Any low impact exercise program whether light weight resistance training.

Muscle Activity is Key

There needs to be a shift from exercise seen as a gateway to bulking up or preparing for a marathon. Real physical fitness is necessary for all people who desire to be healthy. The goal should be to wake up all your muscles and develop a great body shape. Rather than getting tired by simply walking to the bathroom, with a little physical activity, my father saw an increase in his cardiovascular fitness. What helped him achieve this? During the commercials of his favorite television show, he would simply curl a can of soup until the commercial ended.

Everyone Needs Exercise

Even those of us with limited mobility can still get exercise. Whether medical issues or a job that requires you to be seated most of the time are the reasons for immobility, increasing fitness, health and bone strength is possible when you follow a program like "Sit and Be Fit". This excellent show is broadcast nationally and will be of great benefit to you.

Don't let your mobility fade or your health deteriorate right before your very eyes. Take control over your health finding a diet and exercise plan that you can do at work or home.
