Sports are becoming more and more popular. However, there are still people who are afraid of a healthy lifestyle and giving up bad habits. Yes, it is quite difficult to overcome yourself and eradicate the laziness that has been with you all your life, but it is extremely necessary and possible. So how do you find the willpower and start playing sports?
Motivation
Without motivation, you can quit almost any undertaking, especially at first. In my opinion, in sports, nothing motivates more than health, which begins to improve significantly. In addition, regular sports activities lasting at least 10-20 minutes add 2 years to life. On the other hand, addictions, on the other hand, shorten life by about 30 minutes every day. Both that, and another, scientifically proven and confirmed.
Also, a good motivation for doing sports is a slender figure, which you have probably dreamed of for so long. The result, of course, will not be instantaneous, but every day your body will rebuild itself to a new active lifestyle. Thanks to sports, you will never face such a problem as being overweight, which reduces your life by about 5 years. As for obesity, it takes twice as much, that is, 10 years of life.
How to start playing sports if you have never done it?
It is much easier for a person who once went in for sports to resume training than for someone who will be engaged in this business for the first time. This is what scares many. Do not rush to give up! It is necessary to go in for sports gradually, in addition, you need to find an approach to your body and take into account its characteristics. All of this comes over time through trial and error, so feel free to experiment.
When playing sports, it is very important to adhere to a balanced diet, that is, to follow a certain diet. Do not be intimidated by this word, because in fact, a diet does not mean rejection of food, but only its correct use. Of course, you will have to exclude some products, but this does not mean that you will never try them again.
Together with a balanced diet, you need to start consuming the amount of water necessary for the body. It is recommended to drink at least 2 liters of this liquid per day, but it may vary. Drink water based on external factors, as well as your weight. For a person whose weight is, for example, 45 kilograms, 1.5 liters is enough.
How to properly exercise the body
In order to get only benefit and pleasure from sports, you need to properly load the body. There are several rules, based on which, you can easily switch to an active lifestyle.
- When playing sports, it is very important to take sufficient time to warm up. Active walking will help warm up the body and prepare it for physical activity.
- Remember to be gradual. The loads should not be dramatically increased, even if you can easily cope with them. It is enough to add at least one repetition to the exercises performed daily.
- If you feel like drinking water while exercising, drink it. You don't need dehydration in training.
- As for the time, it is best to go in for sports in the morning or in the afternoon. If the body is loaded in the evening, then problems with sleep are possible, that is, the occurrence of insomnia.
- Food intake should be no later than 30-60 minutes before sports. Otherwise, during training, you will feel not only heaviness and drowsiness, but also nausea.
From doing sports, you will feel an improvement not only in physical condition, but also in psychological, since through sports you can work out absolutely all your complexes and fears. An active lifestyle is the key to longevity and a happy life!
