Exercise, diet and health – simple ideas.
Personally I have had “challenges” maintaining physical fitness in the past (for a lot of my life), mainly because I find exercise incredibly boring. As exercise and associated excellent health is a life essential I had to find a way to overcome this. I never really enjoyed sports and the only exercise I enjoyed when I was a young man was stuff with a very high mental stimulus such as some army training. Later I trained in Ninjutsu (green belt) so that helped too.
These days I build exercise into my life so I don’t notice it – such as cycling from A to B on business. Recently I have cut back on the cycling and substituted walking which is great for meditating on the hoof too. Cycling can be a bit easy/cruisey. I also do weights so as to build muscle* mass (* which as you may know burns calories faster). When doing weights I can meditate too, which helps.
I have cut my “vices” such as chocolate, chips, biscuits and cake back to one day a week for each. Because they are strung out across the week and time goes so fast I seem to have a semi regular supply to get my fix. I eat a lot of organic food. (Warning: organic chocolate, biscuits, chips and cake are much more moorish than the ordinary kind).
Simply speaking, we cannot cheat the natural laws of life. Eating loads of pizza, guzzling Coke, all while being a computer potato, just won’t do. By building exercise into my life as above I am following my “natural law or flow” so it is much easier to get it done.
On top of all this, I have found the mind and thinking patterns to also be essential ingredients of good health.
