My life is an unusual one. My work schedule has me getting up before the sun rises and getting home before lunch time. After I get home, my time is mostly occupied by my two year old daughter. Then, I cook dinner and usually go to bed before the sun sets. Because of the nature of this lifestyle, there is not much time for things like exercise or any other physical activity. Do not get me wrong. I do participate in some mild physical activity associated with chasing my daughter around outside on a nice day or inside when the weather does not cooperate, but I would hardly call that exercise. On top of that, because of my daily routine, I do not have time to really concentrate on what I am…
1. Exercise is an essential variable that contributes to our daily lives and health. However, some people may not have time to incorporate exercise into their life styles due to work or even taking care of their children. An alternative for such an individual would be to try to incorporate some sort of physical activities in parallel with their daily routines.…
I think that the best exercise that would suit me best would be light jogging and walking on the treadmill. I really like taking walks and I enjoy light jogging. I also think some aerobics would also help me as well. I would really like to get to a gym. I think if I had a trainer or somebody to get me motivated it would really help me. When I was in high school I enjoyed gym class because I had a teacher to motivate me to run a mile every other day. I also had friends to run with me. If I took my sister to the gym with me I think she would really motivate me. I could do these activities year round at a gym. I would not run outside in the winter because it gets way to cold and I do not like the cold. I could do these activates at a gym though year round.…
Ever since my years in high school, I have been very interested in managing my health. It all started with trying to stay in shape for the various sports that I played, which were basketball, soccer and football. As the years went on I was very interested in muscle building and just being in shape and staying fit. I subscribed to muscle magazines and bought other health magazines from the grocery store. As I read these magazines, I became aware of how important better health is. Good health could help me avoid deadly diseases such as diabetes, cancer and high blood pressure among many others.…
One of the sides from the triangle is physical health. Physical health is the overall care of your body and how your body feels both inside and out. Ways to improve your physical health include exercising to keep your body fit and the cleanliness of your body. Eating a well balanced diet also improves your physical health because that's how you get the vitamins, minerals and the nutrition your body needs to function and grow. Some of the things that I do are that I try to eat more fruits and vegetables instead of junk food and drink plenty of water. I also go play sports with family and friends for fun and to get some exercise. These things are important because eating more healthy choices lowers the risk of getting diabetes and heart diseases. It also gives my body the energy to do daily activities to stay in shape.…
Aside from the fact that you can take action now and improve how you look, feel, and perform, one of the most important aspects of taking responsibility for your own fitness is that you’ll live a longer, happier life and reduce your risk of degenerative diseases. In all seriousness, the health condition of…
The stale thought that getting into shape requires an exercise center participation is a gross misguided judgment for a few people. Activity might be valuable regardless of where you do it. Your body couldn't care less whether you are at home or in an exercise center encompassed by a cluster of individuals. Working out at home can be pretty much as compelling as working out at the rec center and without the aggregate odor of other individuals' sweat around…

Healthism is said to be the type of lifestyle that prioritizes health, disease prevention, and fitness, such as exercise, the use of vitamins and diets, over everything else (Haralambos & Holborn, 2008:281). It is seen as being very influential in shaping our images of not only ourselves but those of other people as well, be it our physical appearance in terms of the shape of your body and its size, and also whether or not you look too old for your age (Jones, 1998:253). Instead of using medication and surgery as a way of solving health issues, Healthism promotes the use of exercising, using the correct diet, and staying fit and healthy as a way of preventing illness leading up to medicalization of a non medical condition such as…
Personally for myself I can incorporate more than a few fitness habits that will improve my way of life. I have begun to work-out however; I can start to this more frequent. I currently exercise maybe one or two times weekly. My increase my exercise frequency to three to…
In the world today, there are many ways one chooses to stay healthy. “People eat various diets intended to increase longevity, prevent particular disease, lose weight or mange a medical condition” (Traister). Diet systems are looked at today to help with many health issues, but the truth is that these are just empty promises. At best they will help in the short term if one stays committed to the diet program. Another health trend that seems to be looked at as an option in this generation is extreme workouts. Systems like the P90X or Insanity are bringing the workouts usually done in the gym or outdoors into homes in short routines for…
Physical and environmental health is vital for healthy living. Routine physical exercise and healthy eating is essential to having good health. Exercise increases the metabolism, rids the body of harmful toxins, and is important to keep the human body in good shape. A healthy lifestyle can increase one’s chances of living longer, it can decrease the changes of becoming depressed, it can make one feel better about their self as well. A healthy lifestyle can help reduce many diseases we face in our lives. Diabetes, for example is one of the many diseases people face in our society. Not maintaining a healthy lifestyle physically can cause high blood pressure, heart disease high blood cholesterol and may even cause one to have a stroke. Making up a chart of days to exercise along with a healthy diet and sticking with that chart can prevent our bodies from developing such diseases later in life. A lot of people believe that just because that they are young means that they can eat unhealthy and not exercise and later on in life they can start trying to eat healthy and exercising then they will be okay. That is not true. It can actually put a person’s body more at risk to having diabetes, heart disease or any other terrible disease. Physical activity and nutrition are partners when it comes to sustaining better health. Being active increases the amount of calories burned. As people age their metabolism slows, so maintaining energy balance requires moving more and eating less. To help a person to get in the routine of exercising can be challenging but with the help of the environment, it will not be that difficult. Going on nature walks or walks throughout the community just to pick up trash and clean up the neighborhood is not…
Make sure that you use your days off to do some bending and stretching. Swimming is very good for most of the muscles and internal organs in your body. So is walking. Gardening is a great way of keeping in shape as well. It is not necessary to go to a gym, that is modern hype. Nobody went to gyms before and there have always been driving jobs and office jobs.…
Living an active lifestyle has so many benefits to the human body. Staying active can help to maintain a healthy weight. It becomes a part of a routine to go to work and sit behind the computer. Work cannot be prevented but sitting behind a computer all day, is a bad idea. When that 15-minute break comes, get up and move around. Take a stroll around the building. Exercise does not need to be something that takes so much time out of the day. It can become part of a routine simply by parking the car further from the front door of the grocery store. There are forms of exercise…
If you want to get into shape the best way is to start a fitness walking program. Walking is very good exercise and can be done by most people, regardless of their prior activity level. One of the best things about walking is that you don't have to buy expensive equipment. All you need is a good pair of walking shoes, some comfortable clothing and the ambition to finally get into shape.…
