Regular exercise is important to include in a weekly schedule because it contributes to keeping all facets of the body healthy. However, the day in and day out process of exercise can also lead to soreness in joints, muscles and ligaments. This type of soreness may not always be “serious” as it comes with the normal process of building muscle and working up your cardiovascular system.

Regardless, soreness can contribute to a lack of motivation and discomfort when it comes to exercise. Luckily there are some things you can do to help ease soreness which will help keep you and your body on track with maintaining a regular exercise schedule.

Working up your lifestyle to include regular exercise is no easy task especially as we age. It can also be frustrating to finally accept exercising as part of your life and yet not see the changes that you were expecting. Losing weight, building muscle and feeling stronger and healthier are all effects of regular exercise but it may not happen as quick as you would like.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). How committing to losing weight or building muscle as goals can add to our frustrations when we don't see the results we we're hoping for after exercising.

2). Why it's important to be aware of the fitness and health market and know that not all "short cuts" are healthy choices to help speed up achieving your fitness goals.

3). Why it's important to focus on how you "feel" after exercising and the positive impact it has on your life instead of basing it only on vanity metrics like weight and physique.

4). How the relationship between fat and muscle directly correlate and how to incorporate a workout schedule that focuses more on an "all around" approach instead of focusing on just one thing like losing weight or building muscle strength only.

5). The importance of focusing on other benefits of exercise like mood improvement, heart health and a strengthened immune system which helps keep you healthy in ways that you may not visually see.

We hope you found value in this episode especially if you are on your own journey to better health and an active lifestyle. The effects of regular exercise and a healthy life do manifest themselves with consistency and commitment. Our hope is to encourage you to stick with your program and don't give up! The benefits of your hard work will pay off.
