Then it’s time to turn Worn-Out and Weary into Fresh & Healthy, Lean & Toned. Maybe the holidays wore you out or maybe it is a fatigue that is more entrenched. Maybe it an imbalance in your life stemming from responsibilities. It is the priority of those responsibilities that can begin a vicious cycle of fatigue.
The typical cycle goes like this:
- You have responsibilities that leave you with no time to exercise.
- Lack of exercise and lowered fitness levels leave you with even less energy and less drive to get out there and exercise.
- You become less fit, you become discouraged and less inclined to exercise.
- You take care of your responsibilities, feel more exhausted and your chance of getting sick is constantly increased.
When I see patients at our rehabilitation location, SCV Therapy Services, many are worn-out and weary when they begin. Not surprising because they have generally been dealing with chronic pain issues along with loads of responsibility for a long time. They complain frequently of being exhausted. Energy returns and fatigue is reduced with just a little bit of added exercise.
My advice for being worn-out and weary? Get moving. If you don’t, you encourage the cycle that will lead to being less fit and less able to handle everyday demands. The side-effects, besides increased energy, are too many to count but here are a few:
- Great arms, abs, shoulders and back muscles
- A toned, tight tush that your spouse will be sure to notice
- Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
- Reduced risk of diabetes
You are worth it and your family is so totally worth it. Wouldn’t it be awesome to be that spouse/partner that has endless energy and a great bod’ to go with it?
