Tips For The Perfect Amount of Exercise
Today I would like to talk to you about the perfect amount of exercise that you should be doing everyday. Of course, you know that I do get this question all the time. And, typically, my answer seems to throw a lot of people off. The reason being is that, I’ll tell everybody that the perfect amount of exercise that you can do everyday is about 10 minutes. And there is a lot of reasons why.Now, of course, if you do your research you’ll know that it takes 30 minutes to maintain your cardio-vascular health. 45-60 minutes when you are focusing on weight loss. That’s all fine and dandy but let me tell you. For most of us, that’s a little bit too much when we are starting out. It’s what I call, overreaching or setting a goal that’s just too lofty.
The perfect amount of exercise
The reason that 10 minutes is the perfect amount of exercise, just to start with, is that that’s something that’s truly attainable. It’s realistic. It’s something that we can all do. And, it doesn’t have to be 10 minutes of high intensity exercise. Just move for 10 minutes, especially if you’re just starting out. Because I’ll tell you what, it’s 10 minutes more than you were doing before. So, you are going in the right direction.
And, keep in mind, when you are setting these goals for yourself, when you are setting these daily commitments 10 minutes is so attainable. And, it so important when it comes to the transformation process because this is something that you’re promising yourself each and everyday, and fulfilling those promises leads to increasing your dignity and your self-esteem and your self confidence. And, when you do this day in and day out you build what I call this integrity momentum where you are setting these promises and you are fulfilling them.
Going over and above
I have often found from personal experience that as soon as people hit that 10-minute they rarely want to stop because if they feel so good about themselves they want to do 15 and 20. Anything over that 10 minute threshold it’s gravy. Try it and see for yourself. Once those endorphins start flowing into your brain and you get the associated buzz, no one ever wants to stop.
Try it and let me know in the comments below how you get on. Until next time.
