Types of exercise

In continuation of this "Make yourself feel better" series, today I have for you some exercises that will not only make you feel better, after you've done them, but also help you stay fit (advisory: might not work for everyone. As I said last week I'm not a professional in this area.)

The first thing to remember is that the routine of exercises has to be scheduled because otherwise you might fail on exercising regularly. Choose how often you want to exercise. For example, if you want to do it 3 days a week maybe try to alternate the days. It would be something like this:

-Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays: exercise

-Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays: no exercise

The next thing is how much time: If you want to workout 3 days in a week, do about 45min to 1 hour each day. If you exercise more times a week, do less time: if you workout 5 times a week do about 30min each day. This way you won't over-exercise because if you did you'd feel really tired at the end of the week.

Finally the types of exercise you can do. Keep in mind, alternating exercises is good but if you can't do something don't push yourself, take your time. If you train hard one day you might be able to do all the exercises. 

-walking, jogging or running (start with walking and slowly upgrade the speed)

-sign up into a gym. ask for a plan designed for you (if you don't have the money it's okay, there's other ways)

-go for a jog, every 10 minutes run faster for 1 to 2 minutes OR jog and alternate with sprints (I read it increases the metabolism)

-some exercises you can do at home (http://www.acefitness.org/acefit/fitness-programs-article/2863/Top-25-At-Home-Exercises/)

-choose an up beat song or multiple songs and dance; it's fun and you don't have to leave the house

Tomorrow I will post a list of foods you can and can't eat when trying to lose weight or just if you want to eat healthier. (Once again I'm not a professinal in this area; all of this is based on my personal experiences)

Thanks for reading! I will talk to you tomorrow :) B-bye!!

Change Your Life - Lists

Last week the post was about how to create an exercise routine so this week is gonna be about the types of exercise you can do and the types of food you should and should avoid.

(...)

 Now that you know how to create a schedule it's time to create the lists. I have plenty of them but the 3 that I find are the most important ones are:

-types of exercises

-foods you should avoid eating often

-quotes/phrases that will help you staying focused and not giving up

I'm not a professional nutricionist or something like that but I will create the first two lists and I will post them for anyone who wants. The 3rd list will also have its own post but that you can find anywhere. If you want one right away go on Tumblr and search for quotes, write them on a piece of paper and keep that list in a place you look at often. It will boost your confidence and willing power everytime you read it.

Next week's post is going to be about the types of exercise you can do to stay fit. The post about the foods you should or shouldn't eat is going up on sunday and the post about the quotes or phrases is probably going up the following weekend (not sure yet).

Thanks for reading! I hope this was somehow helpful and if you have any requests just comment below or tweet me (@Carolina_Rosa16). Talk to you next week. B-bye!! ;)

Change Your Life - Exercising

Do you want to have a better life, start living a healthy lifestyle and be happy with the way you are inside and out? If so this is the post that will encourage you. But keep one thing in mind: this is just a bunch of words online, they're not a miracle. You have to gain the courage and willing power for yourself. Shall we start?...

The first thing I think it's important and will most definitely help you is to plan things. Having a detailed schedule and a list or more will save you time and you'll have more control in this first phase of your life change. One note: Starting is not easy at all! You'll think it's gonna be really easy but, unless you have a strong and huge willing power, it won't. So keep this in mind: Don't give up, keep going even if you don't feel like doing it anymore. You'll regret the choice of giving up.

Doing a schedule is not hard. If you're in school or you have a job, or both, make sure that working out does not interfere with that. Schedule some time to go for a jod or do some home exercising, or go to the gym if you can or when you don't have anything to do.

For example: myself. I'm still studying and as I have all my classes at morning time I scheduled my working out routine to the afternoons. My week is basically planned like this:
-Go to school;

-Come home from school;

-Have lunch and rest a little;
-Do my homework/study for tests (for as long as I need);

-Have a little snack and then do some home exercising or go for an afternoon job.

Try to do this at least # times a week.
