Benefits of Healthy Habits

You know healthy habits like eating well, exercising and avoiding unhealthy substances are important, but have you ever stopped thinking about why you follow them? Any behavior that supports your physical, mental and emotional health is a good habit. Such habits help you feel good and improve your overall health. Healthy habits are difficult to establish, and often involve a change of attitude. Yet if you are willing to make sacrifices to enhance your health, the effect can be far-reaching, irrespective of your age, sex, or willingness to do so. Here are 5 healthy lifestyle benefits. Improves Your Mood

The Mayo Clinic states that the physical exercise increases endorphin development. Endorphins are chemicals in the brain which make you feel happier and more relaxed. Eating a balanced diet and exercising will lead to better physique. You can feel better about your looks, which can improve your self-esteem and confidence. Short-term exercise benefits include reducing stress and increasing cognitive performance. It is not just diet and exercise that contribute to mood change; one of the healthy habits which leads to improved mental health is developing social connections. If it is volunteering, joining a group, or watching a film, social activities help to enhance mood and mental health by regulating the levels of the mind active and serotonin. Do not get in isolation. Spend time at daily intervals with family or friends, if not every day. If physical distance exists between you and your loved ones, use the technology to remain connected. Pick up your phone or launch a chat video. Controls Your Weight

Eating well and daily workouts could help you prevent overweight gain and maintain a healthy weight. Being physically active is key to achieving your weight-loss goals, the Mayo Clinic says. Even if you do not try to lose weight, daily exercise will enhance cardiovascular health, strengthen your immune system and increase your level of energy. Per week prepare for a total of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity. If you do not spend this amount of time exercising, look for easy ways to maximize exercise all day. Consider walking instead of driving, for example, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or speed as you talk on the phone. Fights Diseases

Healthy habits help avoid such disorders of health, such as heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure. You will keep your cholesterol and blood pressure within a healthy range, if you take care of yourself. That keeps your blood flowing smoothly, reducing your cardiovascular disease risk. Often, daily physical activity and healthy diet will avoid or help you cope with a wide variety of health issues. Make sure that you schedule a physical test regularly. Your doctor will monitor your weight, pulse, and blood pressure and will take a sample of your urine and blood. Boosts Your Energy

After eating too much unsanitary food we all feel a lethargic feeling. When you eat a healthy diet your body gets the fuel it requires to control your level of energy. A balanced diet should include: Fruit Lean meats Whole grains Vegetables Low-fat dairy products Regular physical activity often improves muscle strength and increases endurance, giving you more energy, the Mayo Clinic says. Exercise helps supply your tissues with oxygen and nutrients, which lets the cardiovascular system function more effectively so that you have more energy to carry out the everyday activities. This also encourages better sleep by helping to improve the capacity. This allows you to fall asleep faster and sleep deeper. Lack of sleep can cause a number of problems. Besides feeling exhausted and slow, if you do not get enough sleep, you can feel irritable and moody too. What is more, poor quality of sleep may be responsible for high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease, and can shorten the life expectancy as well. To boost the quality of the sleep, stick to a routine where you wake up and go to bed every night at the same time. Reduce the intake of caffeine, limit the napping and create a relaxing atmosphere for sleep. Switch off the lights and the TV, and keep the room temperature high. Improves Durability

By cultivating healthy habits you are improving your chances of a longer life. An eight-year survey of 13,000 men, published by the American Council on Exercise. The study found that those who walked for just 30 minutes per day substantially decreased their risk of premature death relative to those who rarely exercised. Looking forward to spending more time with your loved ones is justification enough to start walking. Start with quick 5-minute walks and increasing the time slowly until you are up to 30 minutes away. The Takeaway

Bad habits are hard to break but you will not regret this decision once you adopt a healthier lifestyle. Healthy habits minimize the risk of some illnesses, enhance your physical appearance and mental health and provide a much needed boost to your energy level. You are not going to change your attitude and actions overnight so be careful and one day at a time.

Fitness Fridays Officially a certified personal trainer. Although this is my 3rd certification. I feel that upgrading my knowledge within my circle of competence is not only my beneficial in my line of work but for myself. And no I'm not leaving my job. If one only thinks of upgrading to leave a job, it's a narrow minded mindset. I believe in value adding by gathering knowledge and perspectives. Life's challenges isnt so straightforward. Importantly the learning never stops. #fit #fitsgram #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney2019 #fitnesssg #fitspiration #fitspo #gymselfie #gymmboxx #adrefitness #sgboy #potestquivult #Fitfamsingapore #Fitfamsg #SgFitfam #ace #americancouncilonexercise (at Gymmboxx Bedok Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6R6ixtnW3Z/?igshid=1mg6s753411v0

#Repost @forsecafitness (@get_repost) ・・・ I finally got certified!! I am so thankful that I have been able to attain my CMES certification through @acefitness I believe that all bodies no matter the race, size, age or ability deserve access to adequate health and fitness services...if they so choose. I also believe in healing justice where we are able to reimagine and reshape what health, healing and compassionate care looks like. I am a physical therapist assistant and grass roots organizer. My goal is to merge community based support services with conventional medicine ensuring that we remain aware of the social inequities and their impact on the body. It's been a difficult and amazing journey getting to this place in my life and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to continue to grow and be the change I'd like to see in the world! • • • #trainertuesday #newtrainertuesday #acefitness #americancouncilonexercise #acecertified #acecertification #acecertifiedpersonaltrainer #acecpt #fitness #health #exercise #personaltrainer #pt #inspiration #motivation #forsecafitness #fitnessforallbodies

The secret to slow jogging and slow rowing is the power-10 and power pieces

Summary: let your slow-flag fly, for sure, when you slow jog and slow row;  however, please feel free to add power-10s and other high-intensity pieces to your slow, long, steady-state everyday slow jogs and slow rows. 

What is a Power 10?

Power-10 is an on-water rowing and racing term that is often said by the coxswain to motivate a competitive coxed crew to perform ten hard power strokes. Starting with "up one, up two" the coxswain counts out each stroke for the crew. I like to sprinkle power-10s into my workouts once I have warmed up. You should, too. Even moderate daily rowing proponent, D. P. Ordway, and slow jogging guru, Hiroaki Tanaka, agree. Once you've mastered your slow, adding intensity can really drive the body's adaptation to your new athletic life. And since both you and I are our very own coxswains and we don't need to win any races, do everything in moderation, even your power-tens.

The Fitter You Are the Faster Your Slow

The fitter and stronger you get, the faster your slow is. When you just start rowing, your slow rowing steady state pace might be over 3 minutes per 500 meters and your  first slow jogging pace might be 13-minutes or more per-mile; however, as you become more fit and your heart, lungs, and muscles adapt, your slow rowing steady state will be around 2 minutes per 500 meters or even quicker and for a longer time and your easy running pace that you can keep with a smile while you're slow jogging can be as quick as a 9-, 8-, 7-, and even 6-minutes-per-mile pace.

The End of Slow-Shaming

Whether you're back of the pack or DFL, at least you're neither DNF or sleeping in. Both Slow Jogging and Row Daily are about not slow-shaming yourself or allowing yourself to be slow-shamed. Anyone call you a slow ass? Well, you're slow jogging! Someone on your virtual team making fun of your 2:50/500m pace?

Show them the Million Meter Club certificate that Concept2 gave you! Be proud of your 3:00/500m pace since you do row every day at around that rate for at least 45-minutes!  Be proud of your slow 2 or 3 mile-per-hour slow running because, at that rate, you will probably never need recovery from either over-work or injury.

Slowness is Subjective so Speed Up

While I am not suggesting that you're slow jogging or slow rowing too slowly. Slow jog as slowly as you like. Row as slowly as you like. But do it every day. At some point, if you do slow jog and slow row every single day, your initial slow will be a lot slower than the slow you attain as you get stronger, fitter, and your cardiovascular system adapt fully to your slow and going a little faster will seem as rigorous as your previous slow. You're going faster!

But as long as you're still smiling and keeping yourself from huffing and puffing and wanting to cut your 45-minute steady state daily morning slow jog or slow row short, you're good. While both though D. P. Ordway and Hiroaki Tanaka both beg us to jog and row slowly every day longevity, health, fitness, and happiness, they both allow their definition of slowly to be absolutely subjective: Slow jogging can be 2 or 3 miles-per-hour but once you become an old hat at slow jogging and slow rowing, you might slow jog at closer to 4, 5, 6, 7-miles-per-hour! 

Once You Adapt Be a Little Less Slow

But you really don't have to. Really, all the authors of  Slow Jogging: Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, and Have Fun with Science-Based, Natural Running and Row Daily, Breathe Deeper, Live Better: A Guide to Moderate Exercise say is that slowness is slow-to-you and as you adapt your body, your slow will be less slow than before and that you should really break up your slow jogging and slow rowing with some up-tempo pieces. 

Row hard-for-you for a count of ten after spooling up and then slow back down to your steady state pace after you do your power-10. Or 20 or thirty. There is a load of other suggestions when it comes up amping up the intensity every once in a while, but I have really been relying on some really strong and intentional power-10s.

The Authors of the Slow Books Agree

Even my two favorite "slow" books, targeted to the elderly, are proponents of the power-10. So, jog slow and row slow but, every once in a while, in order to fight boredom and to keep things interesting, goose the gas a little bit.

Back in the days of the carburetor, I would say that the short bursts of speed I put into my rides in my 1974 Triumph TR-6 were to blow out the carbon.  After reading Slow Jogging and Row Daily all the way through, even these books about exercising moderately every day at your niko niko pace (an easy pace, that you can keep with a smile).

If You Gotts Start Somewhere, Start Slowly

When you start reading either book, you'll feel so relaxed that all you need to do in order to get better breath, fitness, slimness, strength, stamina, and longevity deep through our dotage is to jog or row every single day for the rest of your life—and I think that is right.  

However, if you read through the entire book, there's more: the power 10. The first half of both books say just do it: get onto the track or get your butt onto the sliding seat of an indoor rowing machine and spend at least 30-minutes to an hour (45-minutes to an hour is better) every single day of the year short of an injury or profound sickness. The argument is: if you keep it slow and easy, your muscles, tendons, skeleton, and the nervous system won't need all that recovery time.

Slow Wins the Race But Sprints are Fun

Their follow-up argument is: once you feel all warmed up and your body again feels powerful enough that you want to frolic a little bit, do so! Some power-tens, some sprinting, running some stairs, doing cross-training, taking the stairs, going to the gym, riding a bike, taking a swim, going to 9Round to get some boxing in, and then going to XSport to get in some heavy iron in the form of free weights. Or, get yourself a nice heavy kettlebell and do some swinging and deadlifts and cleans and presses, and squats and pulls! Don't worry, no rush. Do it slowly--but do it every day. That's my plan.   Read the full article
