Here are 3 tips for maintaining fitness throughout life: 1) Make fitness a priority when young so declines later in life can be avoided. Daily activities like walking up stairs can contribute to fitness. 2) Taking a day off to enjoy physical activities like exercising in nature can help reduce stress and leave one feeling invigorated. 3) Joining a sports team is a good way for students to stay in shape through constant exercise and running during practice.

1. When we are young, fitness comes easily. We play sports
or are active in our daily life. But sometime during middle
age, our fitness tends to decline. And in our retirement
years we may begin to really pay a price for letting our
fitness wane. This doesn't have to happen. Here are some
tips that will help to make your story a happy one of
continued fitness throughout life.

2. If you are looking for an easy way to instantly bench more
weight, then you should try this simple trick. While you
are benching, without turning your head, look at your
dominant hand. This will instantly allow you to lift more
weight than you normally would.

3. Fitness doesn't revolve around gyms and sports arenas.
Fitness can be done at home with bodyweight exercises or
in the office with light stretching. Fitness can even involve
day to day activities, such as, walking up the stairs or
running to catch the bus. Realizing that being healthy and
going to the gym doesn't necessarily go hand in hand,
may help individuals realize that they can exercise
anywhere.

4. Take a fitness mini-vacation and mental health day! Give
yourself a day off to enjoy exercising, spending time in
nature, and generally doing enjoyable physical activities.
Whether alone or with friends, you will return from your
exercise break invigorated and ready to face the stresses
of daily life once more.

5. If you are a student, join a sports team of your choice.
Sports teams are great to instill discipline and will help
you to get in shape quickly and efficiently. The constant
exercises and running that you will do during practice will
help you to get to your weight goal desired.

6. Although it is tempting, avoid strenuous exercise when
you're feeling under the weather. A rigorous workout
inhibits the body from using its resources to effectively
heal itself and stave off infection or illness. Too much
exercise at this time forces the body to allocate its energy
toward building muscles and increasing the body's
endurance levels.

7. Need some ideas for adding exercise to your daily routine?
Try simply adding more activity to everything you do.
Walking to a further water fountain or restroom at work
will increase the number of steps you take in a day and
walking a little faster when going up stairs or walking
across a parking lot can add intensity to those steps.

8. If you are just starting to work out, you should try to work
out until you cannot work any further. By this I mean you
should continue to do repetitions until you cannot lift your
set any longer. This helps to build up your strength much
faster when first start out.

9. When playing baseball and trying to hit a home run, hit
the ball with a slight angle and an upper cut towards the
center. This will make the ball have more hang time in the
air, and the more probable chance of you scoring a home
run than a line drive.

10. When recovering from an injury, you should try and work
out as soon as possible. Start out with only a few minutes
here and there to test out if you are truly better. If you
are, then you should start working out and build up the
strength that you had lost while injured.

11. If you feel a little beat up after exercise, you may be
tempted to pop an ibuprofen or acetaminophen pill.
Don't do it. Studies have shown that these pills are about
as effective as a placebo to relieve the pain associated
with exercise. Moreover, it's been shown that the pills
can actually slow down the growth of muscles if taken
post-exercise.

12. Achieving your fitness goals is going to make you feel
great! If you apply the helpful tips, given to you in this
article to your life every day, you will likely find that
getting fit is not as difficult and time consuming as you
once thought that it was.
