A Simple Ten Minute Routine That Could Have You Living A Healthy Life
The purpose of a health and fitness regime is to address any problem that you may have regarding your body. It is able to tone your body and help you to lose weight and keep it off. It can help you to restore your energy levels so that you can enjoy life more, while being healthy and happy, and this is what we all want, don't we?
Unfortunately most of don't have the things we and don't know how to get them. Well as a follow on from a recent post, all this can be achieved with just 10 minutes of a exercise routine, but it take commitment and you must be consistent, even religious like.
What I am suggesting here is a cross between Tai Chi and Yoga, its aim is to combine the two basis element that make up the two, which are stretching and slow movement and concentrated breathing. Here is where we stretch or use the muscle that we don't usually use, this focus exercise.
Where target a particular area or muscle/s in the body in order to achieve some sort of result, whether it is to build muscle or to loss weight. In order for these exercises to be effective they need to be done as slowly and as deliberately as possible, this is the Tai Chi aspect of the exercise. The Yoga aspect is designed to stretch those hardly used muscle, while releasing tension.
Part of the solution to the problems above is that we need to release the stress and tension of our hectic and unhealthy lifestyles, which we created for ourselves when took out that mortgage or bought the new car, etc. we need to release the burdens of life and focus on me/you.
The way to do this is by doing something for you that only you can do. Stress and tension tie up the muscles making us fell tired because the muscles aren't getting the oxygen they need. To release this tension from your lower back and neck areas and generally help firm and tone up try this exercise and feel the difference.
Stand with your feet about two shoulder widths apart, stretch your hands out and we are working the upper body by gently twisting from side to side, bending from side to side, forward and back. For the lower body gentle up and down squatting and turning to the side bending one knee while stretching out the other leg is great for toning and firming the legs.
Remember that what you do on one side you must do on the other side. The secret here is the breathing, it is not the normal way you breath, e.g. in through the nose and out through the nose.
First you need to expel all the air from the body by slowly blowing it out through your mouth using your abdomen and not your lungs; it will take time to get use to, but when all the air is out inhale through your nose slowly. Warning; you will begin to feel little headed euphoria, at this point you should take a break. Of course this is the basic and once you mastered it you can add your own variations.
To master this will take time and mental toughness, but if you incorporate it in you health regime you will be on your way to achieving a healthy lifestyle.

Health Regime Laws Of Nature
Health Regimes should not restricted by your age, neither should be getting fit nor losing weight as these things are only a state of mind. The problem is that most people don’t work hard enough at it or not at all, most people see it a pain and therefore not see the pleasure of it. This known as the middle age spread, this is where the mind tells the body that it is getting old and that it should conform to laws of nature, however , I will be discussing this issue in my next article so I won’t dwell on that here.
Most people prefer to go along with the myths that after you reach 40 years you tend to gain weight and find it harder to keep it off and most of the don’t even try because they have been defeated already, so most don’t even consider whether the myth is true or not by attempting to see for themselves if it relates to them. The reality is that most people want other people to think for them so they won’t have to bother, e.g. how many times have you bought something because it was advertised.
The Facts
When you reach 30 years and beyond your body needs fewer calories in order to feed or support your body’s system, this is because your body’s metabolism rate has shown down. It has been said that for every 5 years over 30 you will need about 50 calories less per day. This is what they are trying to say, ‘that you need less calories as you get older and that if you eat the same amount of calories after you are 30 as you did when you were in your 20s you will put it on the excess as fat, or to put it another way, if you don’t or can’t cut the amount of calories you intake or at the very least find someway to burn it off your body will store it up as FAT. This is despite that some experts believe that to be a little over weight in your middle ages is healthier for you than when you are in your younger age. They believe that you could be up to a stone heavier by the time you reach 50 years, but that any more than that will lead to serious problem or even multiple problems such as heart disease, arthritis and diabetes to name but a few.
As stated in one of my blogs most people and most experts agree that the best way to stay slim is by exercising, the simple truth about exercise is this, the more you do your exercises the more energy your body will burn and the less energy you have from the food you eat. This energy is what your body convert into fat, this is not widely known to the general public as it has not been explained to them, but that is the simplest way to look at food as it relates to your body.
EQUATION
Here is the equation in its simplified form, excess = excess energy _ not burn = excess fat _ not burn = excess weight, so the bottom line here is that we need to burn more.
I will be adding a few exercises shortly to help you so keep an eye out for it.
As stated above the type of foods you eat will determine whether you loss weight or not and how effective that food is so as to aid to your weight loss routine. You need to make the right choices when it comes to your food, which will be very helpful for your long time health regime. You shouldn’t be thinking about any short term quick fixes, this a life long thing and set long term goals, which will definitely include the right foods if it is to have any affect at al as food is the staff of life.
Go ahead and try foods natural foods I am talking about, try some exotic fruits and veg, plenty of whole grain foods, which will satisfy your hunger for longer resulting in less energy to burn = what? Yes less fat.
Avoid the foods that are unnatural like process or refined foods as these only satisfy your short term desires. As far as foods go if you want to slim and live long I would recommend that you STOP eating meat altogether, { just my opinion, I don’t want to offend those who teach otherwise, as I know that this is not a popular choice with a lot of people}, but it had to said. Until such time peace and love.
