Making use of the great outdoor spaces such as the Great Park in Windsor can go a long way to forming an exercise habit
Compulsion can mean 2 things. The dictionary meaning comes up with ‘the action or state of forcing or being forced to do something’ or ‘an irresistible urge to behave in a certain way’.
Once you have been working out for a while consistently you will feel in tune with your body. You will get to know how it works and what is best for you. However, once you step out of the routine of working out 3-5 days per week to missing 3 workout days. Your body will have a constant urge to exercise. This is your body’s natural way or saying ‘I need to exercise’. The body has to reclaim its balance between the food you eat and exercise you do so that all the functions of the body can work in harmony.
The other form of compulsion is being forced. This usually comes at a time when pain or illness is what your future is looking like. In the fitness industry it can come from being told by your doctor that you have to lose weight before you can have an operation. If this is your only option for survival or get better, then you need to do it or you are facing the worse possible outcome.
All is not lost in these types of situation. When you are told your future is limited it focuses the mind in a way that nothing else can. The natural reaction will be sadness all around you. This stage will pass quickly; action is the only opportunity. Time is of the essence and if you use it wisely the situation can be turned around.
The goal is to never get to the point of being told your future is limited. As a personal trainer in Windsor my day job is to prevent this from happening to the clients that I train. Training my client has 4 main objectives: to maintain or increase muscle fibre, increase mobility, increase flexibility and keep your heart healthy.
All in all, the general public knows what has to be done to stay healthy. They have to implement eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, sleeping well and hydrating so the longevity of their health is maintained.
