lift and move for life
Move for life. Exercise is essential in creating a healthier lifestyle. Exercise makes your heart stronger. Making your heart stonger,makes your blood flow throughout your body better. Supplying your organs with more blood and oxygen, makes your organs perform better. Your blood vessels relax and expand in width. This lowers your blood pressure. Bood to the liver means, more toxins will be cleansed for your body. Your lungs will become have more endurance, providing more oxygen to the blood to help them to work better. Exercise implements one of those endless cycles, but in a GOOD WAY! Even while exercising, you clean out toxins in your sweat.
This article goes out to those who enjoy working out for fitness. As you get more mature (older) and settle down, and perhaps have a family, think about a home gym for your workouts. Time is more valuable and precious. The time you save can be spent with your loved ones or other interests. When you are younger, the community gym ( Gold's, World Gym, etc. ) can be a thrilling experience. Shiny equipment and shiny, sweaty bodies of the opposite sex are in abundance. Your youthful zeal allows you to work to failure without a really exhausting effort. You catch someone watching you do heavy curls out of the corner of your eye. You pump even harder. The air is filled with pumped up testosterone and oozing female hormones. There is the scent of the pretty girl's perfume as her body heats up from exercise and the musky smell of male perspiration. The atmosphere is raging with excitement, male watching female, female watching male, same sex admiration or envy ( depending on one's personal growth level ). Advice is given. Then it is either taken or thrown to the side. There are trainers to keep you on track,and to keep you coming back. And all in one deep breath,inspiration and frustration fill you psyche. If you have been working out on a regular basis at all, by the time you are 30 years old or so, you have a petty good idea of what you want out of your workouts, what you expect of yourself, what you demand of yourself, and your goals for your physical well-being. You know what you can or can not do. You do not necessarily need pushed or coaxed by another person. Personally, I liked the community gym atmosphere. I joined and went to them into my mid to late 30's. In my 30's, I would take my 3 daughters with me to the local gym. I would buy each of them a tiger milk bar and a bottle of Perrier. They thought this was a special treat. They would sit and observe all the members working out at that time, and talk with the owners and their daughters. As adults, all three daughters exercise and work out. So I believe this was a beneficial experience for them. What I did not like about the community gym was wasted time. There was the time to get there, changing clothes, after working out - getting undressed, showering, getting dressed again, the drive back home and then getting my mind back to the home life mode. Sometimes, after working a long day, I just did not have enough energy to get cleaned up to repeat the whole process again. Money was an issue with my earlier gym experiences. Membership fees were quite high. At the last gym I went to, the one with my kids, I paid a small fee per workout session. Of course, I knew the owner since we were teenagers. We worked out in a weight room in the basement of The Boy's Club. With a monthly or yearly membership, I would feel guilty or cheated if I could not make it for a workout. I now, solely, work out at home. At home, there is no time wasted. There is no specific time I have to fit a workout in. There is no traffic to contend with. I can have dinner, relax, then go to my home gym at 8:00, 9:00, or whenever I choose to do so. I have a full gym to meet my needs, including my last and most expensive piece of equipment, a hack-squat, leg press machine. You can set up a gym relatively cheap. You need a weight bench, preferably with a lat attachment. You will probably want to purchase some dumbbells. Buy a pair every month, 20's this month 30's next month and soon there will be no more to buy. I bought my first dumbbells right out of college. I got a pair of 35's and a pair of 60's. The price was not much different from today's prices. You purchase dumbbell stacks. They are kind of pricey. But one stack can range from 5 to 80 pounds, so it saves a lot of space. Aerobic exercise can be done outside. Eventually, you will want to get a treadmill of elliptical machine for those not so fair weather days. A heavy bag is also good for an aerobic and power workout. If you are blessed with a better than average lifestyle, I'd say, go for it all at once. Otherwise, pick up a piece of equipment here or there. Pick up a pair of dumbbells once in a while. Build your gym. All of these items can be bought used. Check the want ads. Here in Arizona, we have a chain of stores named Play It Again Sports,where they sell new and used equipment at a substantially discounted price. If you enjoy the whole community gym experience, then stay with it. I am just telling the story of one guy who tired of it. I am offering an alternative way to make your time, your time. And if you tire of waiting to get your next set in, until some gets of the bench or machine you want to use, then think about a home gym. At the home gym, there is no waiting required.
Welcome to feelmorelife.com, that is precisely what we want to do. We want you to feel, experience, enjoy, embrace your life. Wake up every morning looking forward to you day. Get healthy, stay healthy. You must eat right. You must add certain nutrients to your diet. And you must exercise. You also, must fill your mind and spirit with good tidings. Eat well, feel well.

Home workouts can be just as effective as going to the community gym. In considering a home gym,you want to have as a complete a workout session as you would in the community gym. What equipment does this take? You will need something for cardiovascular exercise. And, you will need equipment for weight and strength training.
You can purchase any equipment you need for your home gym, used. Check out the want ads in local papers. Check the Craiglist on your computer. There is also used sporting goods stores. Using these ideas, will save a considerable amount of money. Most times the equipment is in good shape. If the person was using it, they would not be selling it. You can get some phenomenal deals from people moving to a new location. They do not want to disassemble and reassemble the equipment, or don not want to haul the extra weight.
For cardio, equipment can be as simple as a good running shoe. You can walk, jog, or run for a cardio workout. But if it is too hot, too cold, too wet, or you are not an outdoors person, you will need a couple items for cardio indoors. Pick up an elliptical machine, a treadmill, or an exercise bike, to get that heart beating and blood flowing. An inexpensive, effective addition to cardio equipment is portable step stack. it has 3 or 4 adjustable heights an the step takes up no space, as it is very light and portable. You can alternate between the steps and whatever else you decide to add to your cardio equipment.
Now, there is the question of,what do I need for weight and strength training? If you have money to spare, spend a few grand to purchase a state of the art expensive, massive, good-looking, multi-station weight bearing exercise unit. They will even assemble it for you, for a fee. But if you are like most of us, you will build and add to your home gym as you go along. You need to start with a good sturdy bench. It really should have a lat attachment and a leg extension attachment. You will need some plates to put on the attachments. To start with, Do you need a 400 pound Olympic barbell set, or would some dumbbells be sufficient? At home, you probably will not have a spotter for heavy bench presses or squats. So, maybe some dumbbells to start, will suffice. There are solid dumbbells or adjustable ones. You can a solid workout with dumbbells, comparable to any workout in the community gym. If you are not familiar with dumbbell workouts, check out the internet or get books or magazines on the subject.
Remember, you are not surrounded with other people in your home gym. Do not push your limits too far. This could be dangerous, with no one to help you. You can have an excellent workout using slower, properly performed, repetitions of an exercise. You can do a few more repetitions. You can do these to exhaustion, just like in the community gym. You will get pumped up just as well. Feel yourself out. do what works best for you. Pump that iron to a personal satisfaction. Be careful. And do not forget your cardio
