Today, let’s talk about something that often gets a bad rap—exercise. But fear not, because we’re taking a balanced and practical approach to movement. Exercise doesn’t have to mean intense gym workouts or grueling training sessions. It can be as simple as moving your body regularly, and it’s crucial for your overall well-being. Here’s a straightforward plan to get started:
Daily 10-Minute Movement: Begin with a 10-minute daily movement routine. It can be a short walk, a quick home workout, or anything that gets you moving. We want to solidify movement as a habit.
Incorporate Resistance Training: At least twice a week, add some resistance training. Start with 10-minute sessions, with exercises such as wall push-ups and bodyweight squats.
Build Up Gradually: Gradually increase your daily movement to 20-30 minutes or more.
Now, let’s take a peek into my ever-evolving personal movement regimen:
I am currently using GMB Fitness, and I love it. It is one-stop shopping for all of the areas of fitness that I want to train. The courses and video-based teaching are fun, descriptive, and easy to follow. After 162 sessions, I am not bored at all. Even better to me, is that the programs are one-time fees, not ongoing subscriptions that I pay for and forget about. If you purchase only one, then I recommend the GMB Elements program, and go at your own pace. If you are a beginner, start with “gentle” 15-minute sessions per day.
Currently, I rotate GMB Mobility, GMB Integral Strength, GMB Triple Shot Conditioning, and a rest day. To view my routine in much more detail, please see my Movement page.
The key is to start small, stay consistent, and gradually challenge yourself. Remember, it’s about making movement a part of your daily routine, not pushing yourself to extremes. And don’t forget recovery. Adequate rest, nutrition, and supplements like creatine and magnesium are essential for keeping your body in top shape. Stay active and keep exploring different ways to move your body. Your health will thank you!
