How to keep yourself in shape?

The idea of a healthy lifestyle is becoming more popular, but people do not have more free time for sports. How to keep your body in shape if you have little free time?

Everyone wants to be in good shape, especially now, when adhering to a healthy lifestyle has become very fashionable. But not everyone has time to do sports regularly, many are wary of such popular types of activities as CrossFit, consider marathons exhausting, and yoga asanas are very difficult. There are several ways to stay fit without showing a fanatical commitment to one of the sports destinations.

For health, regularity of training is important, but even irregular physical activities will be more useful than their complete absence. If you do not feel love for sports, then you need to choose an activity that will not cause you negative thoughts and sensations. The ideal complex of exercises does not exist, choose those that will please you and perform them at least from time to time.

Physical activity should be appreciated, for example, if you like to walk in the fresh air, perhaps you should have a dog for walks to acquire a regular basis. If you are very sensitive to the cleanliness of your house, then do the cleaning at an energetic pace with music, the presence of a small garden will also provide the necessary norms of activity, provided that you like to spend time there.
If you have a habit of regular activity, it depends on how much you will like this activity.

Ideal training is a combination of cardio and strength loads of different intensity, the variety will not allow your body to get used to the loads, and you will get bored and give up classes. Pareto’s law, common in the field of sports, stipulates that 80% of the benefits come from the first approach, so it is better not to focus on something and alternate different types of activity.

At the beginning of sports, people who are not accustomed to physical activity can not only not get rid of excess weight, but even take it because of the exacerbation of hunger after training. This is not a reason to give up physical activity, when the body gets used to receiving loads at any frequency, it will help maintain weight in an unchanged state and even manage it at will.

Now, at the peak of the popularity of CrossFit, it is high-intensity physical activities that for many constitute an unjustified risk. Even professional athletes do not train on programs consisting only of high-intensity loads. Most professional programs consist of high-intensity loads, but they are necessarily diluted with less intense loads.

The initial measurement of the load should be low, then it gradually increases, this applies to any kind of physical exertion. Gradual increase in loads prevents overtraining and damage requiring prolonged recovery. Getting used to moderate physical activity today is a long-term investment in your health for years to come.
