BWE: Blood Pressure Should Be No Pressure At All

Managing your blood pressure is a great side effect of having a regular fitness work out. Blood pressure can be controlled or managed by weight loss, stress reduction, lower salt intake. There are many factors for managing or lowering your blood pressure.

Blood pressure should be checked regularly to see if your diet and fitness routine are working. Blood pressure is one of the easiest things to check at home. Just get a decent blood pressure cuff and check it yourself at home.

Blood pressure management requires a framework of action. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. For many people, weight reduction and regular exercise is enough. Other people may require medicines. Finally, some people may need radical weight loss and diet change.

You Can’t Focus On EVERYTHING

What if you heard a noise from one of the wheels on your car? And you took it to the mechanic and asked him or her to check out the brakes, because it sounds like it did when your brakes went out the last time. And what if the mechanic said that they have a “comperhensive” program that is going to look at your entire car?

Well, if you want that - that’s great. If you want your brakes fixed - it’s wasted time and money. AND, you probably want your mechanic to spend ALL the time getting the brakes fixed.

Now, it’s the same thing when it comes to your workout routine. Sometimes you’re going to want to have a workout routine that hits everything - HARD sometimes, easier at other times. But sometimes you want (or need) to focus on a body part. Or a body area. Or maybe something like stamina or stress or overall fitness. Or even trying to lose weight without dieting.

And you do this by having several fitness routines to select from, depending on what you want to focus on. The only fitness routine I have seen that - by itself - is this flexible, is traditional karate kata. But even kata is not flexible enough to cover the flexibility that Pilates will provide. Bodyweight exercises also come close, but to cover everything, you’d need an encyclopedia of exercises.

So have a bunch of routines in your pocket, to whip out whenever one is needed, from The FITNESS Portal.
Oh - free bonus with every purchase ($19.95).

Bodyweight Exercises: The Focus Is The Factor

Boredom can kill your fitness routine. Seriously. How interesting can “kick-punch-punch-WHOO!” be after you’ve done it 9,000 times?? Or how about carrots, lettuce, and granola at every meal? Your weight loss eating plan needs a menu, not just a list of foods. Human beings require change, and that includes your fitness routine.

Now, this wasn’t a problem for you when you were involved in organized sports, because every practice and every game was brand new. Sometimes too new, for many of us! Or it wasn’t a problem when you were starting out in a routine, because it’s always new while you are learning something.

But now - your needs are changing. Maybe right now it’s weight loss. Maybe in 2 or 3 months, it will be stamina. Or stretching. Or maybe today your focus is good and your energy is high and you hit a mixed martial arts circuit. But 2 or 3 days from now - after a busy week - your focus is off and a good Pilates routine is really all you can handle.

So what’s the solution? For many people, the solution will be to have a range or catalogue of routines to pull down when you need change. And to have them right at your finger tips, not wait until you can search and find something new.

Bodyweight Exercises: Length Counts (No, Not That!)

Experts tell us we should exercise 30 minutes a day, for either 3 or 4 or 5 days a week. Some experts say the 30 minutes should be all in one workout routine. Other ones say it can be broken up (1 20-minute period, 1 10 minute period). You know what exercises fit this best? Bodyweight exercises and gardening!

This is actually pretty good for us. If your average day is anything like mine - there is no average day! Just this week, for example: Monday I had to drive 2 hours (one way) to a 3-1/2 hour hearing; Tuesday was a trial that lasted from 9:0 a.m until 4:30 p.m.; Wednesday was another hearing (this time 2-1/2 hours and only 1 hour away); Thursday was 4 2-hour meetings with clients; and Friday was an office meeting. Now, next week….

All that driving, all that time in court or in meetings, really puts a crimp in my ability to exercise. It also cramps sticking to a consistent weight loss eating plan. But next week is not so much time commitment, so I can get 30 minutes in probably every morning.

Having a fitness routine that can vary from 8 minutes to 60 minutes allows me to take maximum advantage of the time available. This week, for example: Monday was a 30 minute morning routine and Tuesday was a 15 minute yoga routine after work.

Bodyweight Exercises: Your Day Of Fitness

One thing that my kids love to do is when we have breakfast for supper. You know what I mean: bacon and eggs, toast and oatmeal, at night. They love the novelty, the breaking-the-routine part of it.

Well, just like you are not limited to eating certain foods at specific times of day, you are not limited to exercising at specific times of day. Does today permit you to workout at lunch? Or maybe tomorrow, the perfect time is morning, before everyone else gets up. What about this weekend, when your afternoon is free and just begging for a long drenching workout?

Having a fitness routine that is flexible enough to be used at any time of day will let you exercise as many days as possible. Having a routine that can be changed, depending on what you ate - or when you ate - or whether you are sleepy or wide-awake - gives you maximum advantage.

Bodyweight Exercises: Fitting FIT In Your Very Scheduled Life

One huge problem with maintaining a fitness routine is finding a routine that fits in and around the rest of your schedule. It is really impossible to imagine that one routine can fit, especially as much as your time is in demand.

One huge problem is how other people’s schedules affect your schedule. Your kids need to get up extra early for a field trip, and you still need to get to work on time. Boom! There goes THAT day’s workout. Your unreliable coworker fails to deliver part of the project on time, so you need to stay late to meet the deadline. Boom! There goes ANOTHER day for working out.

Now, what if you had a fitness routine that coordinated itself with your schedule? Imagine a routine that could be used whether you had 10 or 25 or 42-1/2 minutes. Imagine a routine that can be done in the morning, at lunch, after work, or with your kids in the park on a Saturday.

Actually, one answer is have a catalog or library of routines that you can pick from. Don’t be frustrated because your only routine takes 45 minutes, and you’ve only got 23 minutes. Have a 23 minute routine right there - to be used when you need it.

Go to The FITNESS Portal to select the routines you can use.
