The Beginner Health Buff

Do you envy your friends are always healthy? Those people you know who seem to have everything figured out when it comes to being fit? Well it's never too late to be one of them. I offer you a chance to learn how to become a health buff. The best part is you don't have to pay anything or subscribe to any magazine. All you need is the will to make continued self improvement a part of your daily routine, the will to strive to become better and better every day.

To begin, we will assume that you are at the beginner's level (you don't exercise regularly, you have a sedentary lifestyle and you have no dietary plan.) If this is not true good for you and keep it up, but if you are like majority of the people reading this, don't worry, that's where everyone begins.


We start off with the positive things that you will gain if you follow the program that I use.

1. Weight control
      This is a challenge for everyone who does not plan for their health, but controlling your weight is a must if you want to be healthy. It is not just a matter of appearance; obesity has been a growing trend in the last three decades, and it kills.

2. Flexibility
      Flexibility is the ability to move a joint to its normal range of motion. In other words, it is allowing your body to move in the way it was designed to move. Improving your flexibility aims to avoid joint injuries, back pains, poor posture, and ordinary muscular soreness.

3. Muscular strength and endurance
      The former is our ability to exert maximal force at one time while the latter is the ability to exert moderate force over and over again. Both are muscular abilities but training for one must be separated from training for the other.

4. Cardio-respiratory efficiency
      This is most important in keeping us alive and kicking. It is having our lungs, heart, and blood vessels working in the most efficient way. If this system fails we end up with a heart attack and 50% of heart attacks end up in sudden death or paralysis.
