Bodyweight Exercises: BE The Big Change

Fitness routines will change you. Not just your body. YOU. You will be a different person at the “end” of your fitness journey. And the more you embrace this, the easier and more focused your fitness routines can be.

This wasn’t so much of a problem or concern when you were younger, because you were changing anyway! As you mature, as you have different and new experiences, you are changing, and those change overwhelm the changes caused by your fitness work.

There’s also the changes that your changes cause in people around you. If you lose a lot of weight fairly quickly, then all the people who dealt with you as a heavy person will react to you differently. Or if you go from a desk-jockey to a marathoner, then everyone around you will be treating you differently.

You CAN control these changes. You can control and direct the changes in you and in how your friends react.
By moving between fitness routines, you can direct where the changes occur. You can also help your friends adjust to the changes in you.

Bodyweight Exercises: Stress, Weight Gain, And Stressing About Weight Gain

The idea of fitness is much more than just a flat stomach, running long distances, or losing weight. It is overall health. This includes managing stress, because stress can lead to many destructive health problems. And the tragedy is that stress breaks down your body and ruins your health and you never know it. Stealth health killer.

High stress can lead to weight gain. This comes through many different doors. Some people, when stressed, eat to clam their nerves. Other people will use the stress as an excuse to fall off a diet or an exercise routine. So the stress, which by itself destroys your body, also defeats your other efforts to stay healthy and fit.

This is why you need to focus on stress and weight gain/management. Stress is pressure on your body, and it will eventually break your body down. Weight gain has its own problems: increased chance of diabetes, increased pressure and pain on your knees and lower back, etc.

So, since these two destructive forces work together to hurt you - make your fitness routines work together to fight back! Have routines to handle or minimize stress. Refocus your weight management efforts to be focused on healthy nutrition as much as weight loss.
