Blog: The 'No Pain, No Gain' Myth

You can improve your body, confidence and longevity in 40 minutes a week.

The biggest myth in fitness is "No Pain, No Gain."

You don't have to kill yourself and you don't have to hate the process. What you do need to do is to move. Most of my clients have come to me for the past 20 years pretty much wanting the same thing. People usually just want to lose a few pounds (or several pounds) and to tone up. The same rules apply if you are a couch potato or an elite athlete. You need to do more than you're doing or change what you ARE doing.

The majority of men and women who come to me want to take off the weight that the past few years have added. They want to look more like they did in their 20's now that they're in their 40's and up.

The good news is, the less you're doing now the easier it is to get to the next level of improvement. Start slow and remember you didn't get this way overnight. Walking is a good place to begin and many body parts can be toned even without weights or machines. One more important tip, it's not how much you lift but how well you lift. Use good form and never worry about how big the weights are!

If you already walk and the weights not coming off, you need to strength train. Most people just need a little instruction to make the changes that finally get the scale moving in the right direction. You may find it hard to believe but 20 to 40 minutes, twice a week can dramitically improve you body, confidence and longevity!

I feel bad that teachers are having to pull money out of their own pockets, I wonder whateverRead More happened to the lottery money that was supposed to go to schools? I am a volunteer for an organization that offers free drug education kits to any teacher with booklets on the various harmful drugs . Educators play a vital role for our children and in society and should be supported in any way possible. Any who might be interested, e-mail me at tbadger2000@yahoo.com.
