The Great Mystery Behind Being Physically Fit!

Why are people so perplexed by the physically fit

? When you see someone who has lost a lot of weight and looks great, why do you wonder - "How did she do it?"

The answer is so basic and so universally known, yet so many walk around in disbelief.

If you want to be physically fit, it takes two things - diet and exercise. There is nothing mysterious about it.

If you work hard during your exercise routine and eat healthy food - you are going to see results.

You don"t need a special "fat camp" to lose weight. You don"t even need fancy equipment or a gym membership.

All you need is a good routine and hand weights or even resistance bands to get an effective workout right at your home.

Now don"t misunderstand me, I am not saying it is easy to get physically fit. I am saying the means are simple to understand.

However, it is hard work to get the body you want. You have to really exercise. I will be the first to say that cardio is a struggle for me.

You have to work cardio into as many of your workouts as you can. I find that short interval bursts work for me. You can stick to any cardio for 60 seconds. Take 20 or 30 seconds to catch your breath and then do another 60 seconds.

When you strength train, you have to challenge your muscles. Lift weights that are difficult for you but not so heavy that you lose your form. Losing form could result in injury. With the right weight though, you can quickly achieve progress.

The third component of getting physically fit is a health diet. Again, eating healthy is not easy. I wish it was. You have to say no to temptations. You have to work in food that is not all that appealing to you.

That is the truth of it. If you struggle like me, try Shakeology, which is a meal replacement shake that has more nutrition than a plain salad and tastes just like a chocolate shake should taste.

There is one more component to physical fitness that most people miss completely and that is having a buddy or some kind of support system. As I said, getting fit is difficult. Trying to go it alone makes it even harder.

With a buddy, you have someone to help you avoid temptation and stay on track. Your support system can motivate you to stay on the path to your goals.

So if there was any "mysterious" part of getting physically fit, I would say it is underestimating the importance of your support system. If you have failed with your fitness commitments in the past, review what your buddy system was. Did you have one?

If not, make sure you build that support plan before you start a new fitness program.
