Tip 61.
Select an
exercise pattern
to suit your life
style.
All of
us have different
life styles and
professions so
there is no sense
in trying to
follow the book
strictly. Try and
follow an
exercise routine
that is suitable
for you. You have
to understand
that even more
important than
the exercise
itself is
sticking to it.
So unless you
choose something
that can suit
your life style,
you are not going
to stick on to
it.
Tip 62. Don’t
stand,
walk.
If you
can walk about
then do so. Do
not stand in a
fixed position.
Pacing about is a
good thing to do.
If you are
thinking deeply
about something,
try pacing about,
it will aid in
your
thinking.
Tip 63. Don’t
sit,
stand.
If you
can stand, then
do not sit. The
golden rule is to
choose a position
that is less
comfortable.
Tip 64. Don’t
lie down,
sit.
The rule
that we mentioned
above rings true
here as well.
Tip 65. Don't
be a couch
potato.
It is
the easiest thing
in the world to
become a couch
potato. You know
what we are
talking about
don’t you? That
shapeless thing
that sits or
reclines on a
shapeless chair
in front of the
television and
stupidly munches
away at something
fried! If you are
inclined to
become a
promising old
couch potato,
break the habit,
cut at the very
root of the vine.
And you want to
know what is the
best way for
that? Take away
that favorite
chair of yours.
In fact, it would
be a very good
idea if you could
keep a chair that
isn’t too
comfortable in
front of the TV.
This will
discourage any
tendency to
become a couch
potato.
Tip 66. If you
have a sitting job,
stand up and stretch
yourself every half an
hour.
Most of
the jobs today
are indeed
sitting jobs that
are in one word
sedentary. This
is especially
true for those
who sit and punch
away at the
keyboard or toy
with the mouse
all day long. So
if you have such
a job, make it a
point to get up
at least every
half an hour and
stretch your
self.
Tip 67. When
making telephone calls
try walking up and
down.
Simple,
more exercise! I
hope you will
agree with me
that this is an
excellent
suggestion.
Tip 68. Use the
stairs instead of the
elevator whenever
possible.
Elevators are
one hell of a
convenience
particularly if
you have to go up
or down some
twenty floors.
But elevators
also make us very
lazy. There may
be no sense in
trudging up some
twenty flights of
stairs because by
the time you get
there you will be
totally pooped.
But while coming
down, if you have
the time, you can
easily come down
the stairs
instead of using
the elevator.
Coming down is
not at all
exhausting. And
talking about the
time factor, I
don’t think that
there is much of
a difference.
Sometimes waiting
for an elevator
door to open at
your floor after
you hit the
button can take
up all of
eternity.
Tip 69. Smoking
is bad for weight
loss.
Smoking
as such may not
contribute to
weight loss but
smoking leads to
other conditions
like erratic
eating habits and
excessive
dependence on
things like
coffee.
Tip 70. If you
don't like running
...
If you
hate running,
remember, you do
not have to run a
marathon to stay
fit. 10 minutes
of cardio each
day is good
enough for
most.
