Always feel free and obligated to engage in activities that will keep you moving, from as simple as cleaning up the house to as difficult as climbing a mountain. "Keep your feet move" - that is the secret.
The best way to get going is by having at least a partner to do the activities together, if you feel uncomfortable doing it alone. Some women tend to feel uncomfortable doing such activities on their own. You can ask your husband, kids, friends or neighbours to join you in your morning walk. Wake up early in the morning and add in the morning walk activity in your morning routine. A 30-minutes walk will make your day different from any other day. Make a record on your progress, from 15-minutes to 30-minutes to 1-hour, at least 3 times a week. Invest some money in buying a good pair of walking shoes and a pedometer that can record your steps and distance. Set your target to do 10,000 steps per day. Trust me, if you can do this, you will have the type of figure you want and the less number of times seing your doctors for not feeling well.
What a Pedometer do?It depends on the type of pedometer you have. The basic one will record your steps, distance and calories burnt.
The advance one can record your pulse to keeping up memories up to one week of your exercise routine.
It is easy to wear and handle.
Ever heard about the best exercise for women? SWIMMING......."OH MY! OH MY!" perhaps this will be your remarked. Yup...find ways..to learn how to swim...attire?...this will be not a problem anymore. There are a lot in the market..that cater to every one needs..Muslim women can no longer feel uncomfortable to go out and swim in a public pool. It comes together with a head gear "tudung/scarf".
Bulges? Flabby arms? Big Tummy? You should not worry anymore. Swimming can tone up your body. Being a mother of four, people always mistakenly think that I am not married and if I told them I am married with four kids, they will ask "what is your secret?" "how you do it", my answer is "Swimming, I swim almost everyday, 20 to 30 laps/day (1-1.5km/day)". You will be physically and mentally healthy when you took up swimming. Water therapy is one way to reduce your stress. Enjoy the calmness and coldness of the water. You will surely get better and better in your health and look younger and prettier. For a more adventure, engage yourself in scuba diving. No words can describe the experience of being there in the open sea, observing God's creation.
So, what are we waiting for? Gear up! MOVE YOUR FEET! there are means and ways to get active. I am ready to share my experience and knowledge with every women out there. Feel free to contact me through my email.
