Monitoring Your Heart Always

It’s always best to be healthy and fit all the time because it means that you’re in good shape for whatever activities you want to participate. I used to join sports when I was single with almost all sports in my mind to participate and with just a small frame I was able to compete with some of my classmates. I really missed those days as when I started giving birth I also missed those athletic activities I love so much. 

Few months ago during my spare time I spent some minutes in aerobics and cardio work out which did a lot of great things to me. It sets my body to a balance of exercise and healthy diet meals until I stopped again. I’ve made several attempts to go back to my healthy habit but it’s only now that I have disciplined myself to pursue with my plans because I was not feeling well with my weight. 

Nevertheless I also have to check my heart rate once in a while to ensure that my goal would be achieved and we all know that a healthy mind and body should also have a healthy heart. With this the Polar Heart Rate Monitor could be of help especially when you’re improving your fitness with manual heart rate target zone. 

It’s a good partner because you can see a summary of your workout displayed on the screen wherein you will be inspired for a good result and alarmed if not. We should always remember that our heart is precious and we should take good care of it.

Wrestling Fan

My friend loves to watch wrestling on TV and through his regular viewing of the show he’s intrigued and wondered at how those wrestlers can build heavy muscles easily. He’s actually guessing that they might be using bpi sports a50 or other of its kind because the body built of those players really amazed him. Now he’s starting to dream to have muscles also and enrolled himself in a gym workout hoping that in few months he’ll be somewhat like one of them. Although I find it impossible to believe I just let him do the workout because I know that it will make him fit, strong and even without building many muscles he’ll definitely change for the better.

Facing Our Fears

I'm watched again the second week of the fitness challenge reality program to which I always find some lessons learned in every big challenge they do. This time they were taught and trained to do fundamentals of rappelling, how to handle multi-pitch rappels and anchor transitions. Their challenge was to climb the 120-ft. side of the cliff beside the falls and get their assigned color of the flags. The contestant with minimum time spent to finish the climbing will be the winner but they should also get all their flags. What interest me in watching the show was all of them have fear of heights so that made it more interesting and challenging because the challenge would not be only on their fitness or endurance but also the spirit of facing your fears. Inspite of their fears they took the challenge gracefully and all succeeded in doing it. Some finished it in few minutes while others took more time, of course there must be a winner and the talents/skills given to us are not equal so not everybody can be as good as the other. In every game there's winner and loser. The most important thing to learn in a game is sportmanship and learning to give your best. Lessons learned in this challenge is that you can do anything you want if you just put your mind into it - with God's guidance and blessing of course.

Self Discipline

Have watched one reality show about contestants who auditioned to be included in a fit and right challenge, those contestants consisted of former models who gained weight, some gained weight through improper nutrition and others just want to shed off little pounds in proper places. All in all they were brought to a campo where they will have fitness programs, games and activities where their endurance and dedication will show off. I've seen how they actively pursued winning the game of pushing the big ball upwards, they all showed perseverance and dedication. I admired their dedication to really shed off unwanted pounds.

After the game was over, one team composed of a girl and a boy got the minimum time to do the game and they were declared as the winner for that competition, all others were told that they also have a prize waiting for them inside a room. They all went to that room and to their amazement a big table full of food was there waiting to be eaten. Food I remembered being there were crispy pata, fried chicken, spaghetti, steamed tilapia, french fries, ice cream, cake, fruits and many more. Thinking it was really a consolation prize for having the game played well almost all of them succumbed to their favorite foods - their favorites before they entered the camp which most were not nutritious or not suitable for their diet. Only 2 (I think) ate the right kind of food. They didn't know that they're being monitored by a camera and their fitness instructors were watching and taking notes of what they're eating and they really felt bad that their students forgot their food regimen.

After they've done with their meals, their instructors entered the room and they were reprimanded of what they've done. Their many days of dieting didn't matter now that they've eaten the equivalent calories and fats. They've forgotten their true purpose in entering the fitness camp. They lacked control and discipline which are very essential in attaining their goal and objective to be fit. In every aspect of life discipline and control are very important factors in achieving what you want in life. You can be a great and intelligent person but if you lack discipline you can never successful, if you lack control you'll never have a good planning.

The two most undisciplined contestants were evicted and sent to their home, if only they've managed to discipline and control their cravings they would have stayed in the camp. Well that's a lot of lesson to learn in a day. So what do you think guys do you have enough discipline in your system?
