hai knape la malas sangat nak exercise

pekara exercise yang perlu aku buat....
kenape la malas sangat aku nak exercise

Tend to your body first. Exercise or do some kind of orchestrated movement every day. I work out at the gym in the evening and do yoga or pilates in the morning. People that work with me know that when I say "yoga" it means that I stop what I am doing, unplug the phone, and get down on the mat to restore myself. Find the style and time of day that is best for you and start now. Even if it's only 15 minutes a day, it is a great start to a lifetime of self-care. Focus on YOU first and the rest will take care of itself.

Practice being in the moment with your eating. Eat slowly and think about every bite. Make slow eating a ritual. Turn off the TV, computer, blackberry, cell phone, or whatever else you are using to multitask, and just sit there and eat. Focus on what you are eating so that you are filling your body with clean, healthy food which fortifies and restores you, rather than depleting your energy stores. You truly are what you eat, so you should know what happens when you live on junk, fried, high fatty and simple carb-laden food. Substitute these with walnuts, almonds, fresh fruits and veggies.

Take time out. Don’t sit at your computer screen hour after hour watching every single tick. Make your quota for the day and then stop. Go outside and be with nature, or take a walk to reconnect and find your center. When you are in your center, you are the most relaxed and receptive. Practice getting there, being there and feeling fully alive.

Try progressive relaxation. Breathe deeply and focus on relaxing each part of your body, starting at your head and ending at your feet. Doing this for 20 minutes a day will lower your cortisol level and reduce food cravings.

I love the use of aromatherapies for relaxation. Pure organic lavender, rose and vanilla are great stress reducers. Simply inhaling these in proper proportions sends relaxation signals from the olfactory tracts and receptors of the nose directly into the primitive, emotional brain, resulting in a quieting and calming effect
