Type 2 Diabetes and Healthy Living - Stop postponing your exercise plan

“As soon as the month is over.” “At the beginning of the new year.” “Once my projects are finished and I have more free time.” “After this weekend.” The variety of excuses for postponing a training schedule is endless. You've probably heard at least a hundred variations. You may be guilty of some of them yourself.

If so, how often can you say with confidence that you stuck to your plan? Did you end up exercising after procrastinating longer than you should? To be fair, you may not be like an average person. However, the chances this presents for many readers are high as this is a typical pattern.

Most of the time these plans remain plans or ideas. There is a lot of vision behind them. But the execution or the most important part tends to be missing.

It's easy to procrastinate or postpone.It takes willpower to get up, dress casually, and leave the house when the alternative is often more attractive. It's hard to exercise - especially if it's not a habit in your life.

However, these are not good reasons for not doing what you need to do. They have the same condition as every individual. To be healthy you must be active. It doesn't matter if it's just a few times a week, but you need to get your weekly doses of physical activity...

• Your body needs it.

• Your heart needs the light cardio to stay strong and keep your cardiovascular system in good shape.

• You need to burn some calories every now and then to help with weight management. You need to train your muscles and strengthen your bones.

Don't underestimate the benefits of strength training and know that it is a necessity in itself in the long term. In addition, all of this helps prevent diseases such as…

• type 2 diabetes,

• Heart disease and that

• Metabolic syndrome.

It is no coincidence that these conditions overlap. If you delay your exercise schedule, you are vulnerable to these health problems.

Don't put off any longer.There's never been a better time than now to get started. Don't worry about the rest of the month or the rest of the week. Just take it one workout at a time. Start with small steps. Once it's done, you know you'll be glad you did it. Not only does it feel good to exercise, but it also feels good to take care of yourself.

Stop postponing your workout schedule.
