Here’s some advice from my friend Arnfried at Be Motivated Today on the benefits of exercise that I need to take myself.

I was a personal trainer for 12 years before I became a tax lien investing consultant. And for close to 20 years I’ve been a competitive weightlifter. Now I’m in my 50’s and as I’ve gotten older, and more involved in my business and my family, I’ve gotten a little lazy when it comes to workouts. Especially those aerobic workouts. But I know that I feel better and perform better when I’m physically fit. Plus I have more energy, think better and can cope better when I get my aerobic workout in or even just an abdominal workout and stretching, first thing in the morning. So now I’m making a commitment to do some form of exercise for 20-30 minutes 5 times a week, in addition to my weightlifting workouts.

How about you? Read the post from Arnfried below and decide what you’ll commit to. By the way if you need an extra push to commit to aerobic exercise think about this. Aerobic exercise increases blood flow to the brain and may help your brain cells form more new connections, which can slow down and prevent against alzheimer’s disease. Now that’s motivation, especially if your over 50 like me!

I have an elyptical trainer, but walking or hiking outdoors is my favorite aerobic exercise. I also love cross country skiing but can’t do that this time of year. And I love to swim, but I don’t always have access to a pool. What’s your favorite exercise? Are you committed to an exercise program? Leave your comments below.

Regular physical exercise is a great de-stressor.
This habit is often neglected, much to one’s disadvantage. It is advisable to do one of the following:

• A regular exercise program that you can keep to, find enjoyable and reasonably easy. For example. Going to gym, start running or walking, do aerobics.
• Take part in a sport: soccer, hockey, golf, cricket, tennis, net ball, touch rugby, dance classes, etc.
• Go on regular hikes or mountain bike trails.
• Do some stretching for 5 minutes after you have woken up. It is very important  to stretch one’s muscles.

Doctors recommend that one try exercise for at least 20 minutes at a time for cardiovascular health.

Which type of exercise/sport do you most enjoy participating in?
When will you start it?
Will you need to join a sports club?
Which club will you join?
Plan: When will you do it?

Let regular physical exercise help you de-stress.
