20-20-20 Vision
Most people want to improve their fitness levels; whether for looks, or health, or some other personal goal. When folks start they usually start too quickly, push too much and feel terrible. I suggest changing your vision.
The 20-20-20 vision is the way to begin a workout program. It is cheap (you just have to buy clothes) and very easy.
The first 20 stands for push ups. This is twenty in one day. You can do them all at once, or break them up during the day.
Next is twenty crunches. Throw out the sit-up and use a crunch. It is easier and will give more positive results. A sit up will injure more than help. The crunch targets your core muscles and allows those “helper” muscles to rest until they are truly needed.
The last 20 is for aerobic. Whether it is running, walking or a mixture of both. Get your feet moving for twenty minutes a day. It is not a lot, but for a beginner or a “restarter”, it will help with exercise. You will feel like you are having fun instead of killing yourself and swearing you will never do it again.
And most importantly-Have Fun!
Thanks for this great idea! I will have to work a while to get up to the 20 push-ups and crunches, but this seems like a manageable goal.
Also, thanks for visiting my blog!
