October 30th, 2008
A healthy diet is a very important factor in natural good health. But for your food intake to have the greatest benefit for your body you do need to bring extra exercise into you daily routine. Even if you consider yourself to be active but don’t actually set aside time to exercise for fitness, see where you can add something extra. If you do work in a physically demanding job then your routine outside of work needs to have some activities for relaxation and leisure like golfing or bushwalking.
You could be forgiven for thinking Pilates is just the next ‘buzz word’ of in things for the celebrities to do. But Pilates does work for everyone and you don’t need to have a fortune to get in on the act. Pilates improves your health naturally, low impact exercises teach you about core strength. The core of your body refers to the muscles criss-crossing your abdomen, stomach and sides, and the ones supporting your spine.
Yoga works like a tonic on your mind and body. Low on impact but big on effect, Yoga is a great way to bring natural health effects into your life. Because the aim of Yoga is to be a holistic package it combines various stretching, breathing and meditation methods. When practiced regularly you will see a marked improvement in your body shape, your stress levels, and your flexibility.
