The TOP Excuses

Today we live in a so called “fast pace society” meaning that we tend to use this as a major excuse for putting our health and fitness goals on the back burner and in jeopardy. We tend to cling onto this excuse for dear life and try to avoid any conversation related to fitness and/or any form of physical activity. Don’t get caught up in the “he said/she said” or the “nay sayer” when it comes to your health. If improving your fitness and health has been on the back of your mind, chances are you know something needs to improve. Our minds may play tricks on us but our bodies SURE DON’T.

Here’s the scoop:
1) If you’re gaining weight yearly then this is your first sign to get ACTIVE.
2) If you’re short of breath after 10 seconds of semi-moving around. This is your second sign to get ACTIVE. Yes this includes stairs, playing around or anything that gets you winded. Justify it all you’d like but your body doesn’t lie.
3) Stress levels increase constantly. If you’re feeling edgy about almost anything, this is your third sign about getting ACTIVE. Let’s just say that as your stress level increases, your heart health can only take or endure so much stress. Without a heartbeat you’re no longer around; need I say more??
4) Hypertension AKA high blood pressure. And yes people who feel well can have high blood pressure issues and this is why it is important to get check ups regularly. High blood pressure should be kept under control to prevent a) Strokes b) Heart Attacks and c) Kidney failures. Regular exercise and an ACTIVE lifestyle contributes to a healthy body. An ACTIVE lifestyle can help to lower mildly-elevated blood pressure and maintain a healthy weight. So if you’re blood pressure is starting to creep up a bit, this is your 4th sign that you have got to get ACTIVE.
