In our daily lifestyles, we often forget how important it is to take care of our health. Going to the gym or doing exercises at home is not always easy. We have a very busy life and it’s hard to find the time to go to the gym or to prepare for exercise routines. Yes, there are tons of information available to help you understand how to workout. There are variations of exercises at the gym to build muscle, simple workouts for beginner, detailed workout plans for professional athletes or how-to videos for workouts at home. Yet, no one is talking about the importance of being your own best friend.
Anywhere, Anytime
Even though you can not exercise in a gym, you can keep yourself in shape and healthy using tools at home. It is great for those people who are on the go all the time and can’t get to the gym. Including those who simply do not want to go to the gym. In fact, to achieve this workout routine all you need is; determination, self-motivation, discipline, patience and perseverance. Such anytime or anywhere workouts may include; running, weight training, yoga, boxing, body weight workouts, stretching and mobility routines. These are just a number of things you can do to improve your health and fitness.
Positive and Determined
Consequently, it is important to stay positive and never give up. Your best friend is right there with you (which means your best friend is you). No more wasting of money on gym memberships, equipment and other fitness accessories. Hence, the only thing you will spend on is; your equipment like; pull-up bar, jump rope, running shoes, calipers etc. It is important to choose wisely when purchasing your workout tools because it will determine how far you go in your fitness journey.
Self Motivation
There are always too many things to do every day. We lack time; energy; determination to go to the gym or to prepare for exercise routines. However, it is vital for our health and wellbeing to perform the proper exercises. We cannot simply rely on gyms or on fitness instructors who sometimes can lack motivation and urgency in making us work out. Therefore, we need to support ourselves; we need to be our own fit friend. As such, it’s important to take care of your body and mind so you can be successful in many things in your life.
Exercise is not an option
Exercise is a must, it’s something you have to do. Because if you don’t take care of your body, the rest of your life crumbles. Do you remember when you were a kid and you used to play outside all the time? You didn’t have much to worry about, except games and your friends. You probably had that one neighborhood friend who didn’t have the perfect body or face, but that didn’t matter because he or she was still your best friend. The whole point of being best friends is because you love someone for who they are. That’s how it should be in life. And that is also how to be your own best friend. Therefore, be the best best friend to yourself.
Benefits for Exercising
The point is, there are so many reasons why people need to exercise. It benefits you in many ways. When you take a look at the common idea of fitness, it means being fit and being active, being your best friend. But what is often left out is a concept of a workout plan which promotes a healthy lifestyle. Everyone wants to have a healthy lifestyle and be their best possible self. The right exercise plan that consists of a series of workouts geared towards your body needs can help you increase energy, have a better appearance, and feel great.
Have a Plan
In this context, it means that you can’t go to the gym and work out for hours and hours and burn 500 calories and then eat 500 calories worth of junk food and be ok with that. You may think that burning 500 calories means you can eat 500 calories but that’s just not the case, that’s why it’s called a calorie deficit and not a calorie transfer. So how do you make it happen? You set up a fitness regime and you plan your meals. You can even take control of your diet with recipes you can follow. It’s all about being honest to yourself. Make it work for you, as your own best friend. No matter what. But, you have to be honest with yourself, otherwise, the relationship won’t work.
Stick to Your Plan
Of course, there are so many ways on how you can exercise. But be careful, not all of them are effective. Before getting into it, conduct a good research of the type of exercise you want to undertake. Get to understand the best ways of performing it. And remember, you will only achieve the results you are hoping for if you stick with your program. Keep in mind that, before you go jogging on the treadmill, try stretching first. Before you lift some weights, warm yourself up first. When you are lifting some dumbbells, lower your weight first. This way, you can prevent some injuries that might hurt your routine. Indeed, you can improve your fitness routine by doing some cardio exercises. If you do not like the idea of jogging or running, try biking or swimming instead.
Take Advantage of Technology
Furthermore, with the dominance of technology today, there are many ways to work out and stay fit. One popular form of exercise is by using workout apps. These apps allow you to workout anywhere you go without the need of weights, dumbbells, treadmills, and other expensive facilities. These apps allow you to monitor your body easily and help you stay fit and healthy. So don’t be that person who doesn’t care about their health; start caring for yourself and be your best friend. Soon we’ll also have our own Fitness Fitting app.
This app will offer a wide range of equipment and exercises for you to choose from. It will provide various workouts which you can select depending on what your goals are. The app will offer various workout styles such as HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), as well as exercises such as weight training and yoga. With these available to you, it’s easy for you to grow as a person by becoming healthier and more fit.
Summary
In a nutshell, be your best friend: trust yourself and love yourself. As we all know, we need to workout in order to be physically fit and able to take on fitness tasks. We also need to work out in order to get rid of the extra calories that the body takes in due to our unhealthy diet. This can be done by building a certain kind of relationship between the person and the self. We all must realize that we are our best friend and we will be able to help ourselves by leading a healthier lifestyle and eating right. The relationship between a person and oneself is like any other relationship.
It is based on trust and friendship. A person must trust her/himself and trust themselves to be successful in life and also in fitness. It’s important for every person to become stronger mentally and physically. What’s more is, we also need to know ourselves better in order for us to achieve all of our goals such as eating healthier and working out more. Hence, as someone wise once said, be your best friend and not your worst enemy.
