Get Fit With Team Sports!

Get Fit With Team Sports!

Every January it's the same. 'New Year, New me' we say, but by Valentine's day all our best intentions have fallen by the wayside. But this year I'm going to stick to my regime by participating in team sports, as they give you a great work out, allow you to socialise, and appeal to your competitive streak.

 Another motivating thing about team sports is that if you don't go, unlike the gym, it's not just yourself your letting down but also the team. This really makes me want to go, as although i think nothing of letting myself or my fitness down, my dedication to those around me guilts me into it!

 So, now your thinking 'hmmm, maybe team sports are for me after all', which team sport should you do? Well here are my top 5:

 Basketball: Very popular across the pond, but gaining a real following here in the UK, basketball is a fast paced game, and the time seems to fly by when ever i play. Speed and co-ordination are vital!

 Netball: We all remember netball from our school days, but in recent years more and more adults are choosing to revisit it. It's a great way to get fit with like minded women, and even make some friends along the way.

 Football: The classic British team game, football is not just for watching. There are leagues everywhere, for both men and women and if you're not keen for the full match then indoor or 5 a side is just as good for you. I'm really getting into football at the moment- something i thought I'd never say.

 Ice Hockey: Not for the faint-hearted, but seriously good fun! if your balance is ok, and you've nerves of steel then I would definitely recommend ice hockey, for its fast pace and sheer enjoyment.

 Volleyball: We've all played it on the beach in our time (even if its just between pina coladas), but have you ever thought of taking it up regularly. There are quite a few indoor and outdoor leagues around, but if there isn't one near you then why not grab a few mates and set up a game.

 Those are my favourite team games, but there are plenty more out there, and I'd really recommend them, so find a league or team near you and have fun.

Fitness Programs / 7 Secrets to a Wildly Successful Weight Loss and Fitness Program

Fitness Programs  All too often, each of us grasps for quick fixes, fast results and "little effort" schemes to lose weight and get back in shape (or get in shape for the first time). Without exception, most fail miserably and continue the same patterns of behavior that put them there in the first place. What usually follows is the "blame game" citing time, obligations, work, soreness, food taste and the wrong phase of the moon for the lapse in self achievement. Each of us has exactly 24 hours in a day. No one has more and no one has less. How we choose to use this time is the difference between achieving what we desire and staying in the same rut we started in. Go find a mirror. Take this article with you.

Fitness Programs / Diet And Fitness Programs

Fitness Programs   Diet And Fitness Programs Diet refers to the intake of food and nourishment for the growth and maintenance of the body. Dieticians or nutritionists consider a diet as a balanced meal that contains appropriate portions of all nutrients. A good diet helps a person to maintain good health. Fitness is the overall well being of the body. Diet is a therefore an important part of fitness. A good diet is one of the means to fitness and in turn, good health. Fitness programs include a combination of exercises and a balanced diet. Both these aspects go hand-in-hand and hence, fitness cannot be achieved by following only one of them. A fitness program that is beneficial on a long-term basis always incorporates diet suggestions. Research has proved that by following a diet, the food a person ingests is burnt up only through exercise. With recent studies showing that most people lead an inactive life, fitness programs that include stretching and aerobic exercise...
