Approaching Exercise the right mix
You may think that when you join a large gym that you are getting the best fitness advice and instruction that you hard earned money can buy. This is often not the case. For example, few gyms and certainly none that I have attended ever offer advice and guidance on the subject of nutrition, despite the subject being commonly regarded as fundamentally important for serious gym users. The truth is that the same nutritional principles used by serious weight lifters and competitive athletes alike will apply to ordinary folk like you or me. So it seems that when you join a large gym you are not actually being equipped with all that you need to achieve the right results.
You don’t need to join your nearest gym or fitness club in order to reap the benefits of exercise; you can do just as good a work out at home and Jarvis Fitness can help you achieve your goal. Jarvis Fitness offers sound exercise, nutritional and, if required, rehabilitative advice which has practical application and will assist in helping you look and feel better.
Setting Goals
It is important to set yourself realistic and achievable goals. For example it would be unwise to set yourself the target of exercising 5 times a week if you are not presently undertaking any physical exercise. It is important not to burn out. This applies to both your enthusiasm and your energy resources. It would also be ill-advised to set yourself an unrealistic goal for losing weight or gaining muscle in a limited amount of time. As a matter of physiology a person cannot gain muscle while losing weight/toning up at the same time.
It is important to select your goal and then stick to a program of both exercise and nutrition which will help you achieve that goal. However, all good things take time and this applies to the human body too. In order to see a change in body shape most people will need to consistently exercise to the right level and eat sensibly for at least two months.
Nutrition
Good nutrition is the real key to losing weight, building muscle and gaining size. Even the best training program in the world won't make up for a diet which lacks the right muscle-building or dietary nutrients. Therefore, it is important to establish good eating habits in order to assist you to achieve your fitness goal. Few people realise that without the right nutrition that the hours spent in exercising, whether at home or in the gym, are far less effective at achieving the desired effect if they are not supported by quality nutrition. People join a gym and workout so hard and frequently that they burn out and don't see any results. This could be attributable to inappropriate nutrition and a lack of formal advice being provided. It is considered that nutrition plays as much as a 50% role in achieving the shape of body you want. Something to think about…
Basic Requirements
In order to undertake a steady program of exercise you don’t have to be in prime physical condition; we take all sorts. No matter what age you are and whatever your lifestyle there are improvements you can make that enhance your quality of life, make you feel better, make you happier and in most cases increase your life expectancy.
Adopt a Lifestyle
Modern lifestyle is full of convenient choices; the subjects of exercise and nutrition are no exception. So many magazines, television programs and commercials profess to offer quick fixes on how to look and feel better. Consequently people are confused about what is actually good for them when it comes to exercise, nutrition and well being. The whole point of this website/service is to provide practical and usable exercise and nutritional advice which can help everyday people (like you and me) to achieve the results they want. Fad diets don't work and sporadic exercise is no good to anyone. The Jarvis Fitness strategy is not meant to be a temporary fix; it is a re-design of lifestyle.
Structure your Exercise
It is very important when planning your exercise to find a weekly structure which fits around your lifestyle. Exercising can be highly enjoyable but it is important that you do not let the exercise plan start to run your life; your life should be planned around it and not vice versa. Your Jarvis Fitness exercise plan will be specifically tailored to you daily needs, whether you are in full time employment including commuting, working from home or are a mum who tends to the needs of young children.
