Pitfalls of a healthy lifestyle

Perhaps there is no better way to instill to anything disgust than to turn it into a routine. Think about your first days and weeks of a new job. What sort of routine? What monotony? And when you heard the expression "gray days", you know exactly what it is not about you. Every day you go to an unfamiliar world of a new route to a new job where you have to work on a new project with new people. All this variety of new experiences gives the stock "neskuchaniya" for weeks and months.

But then one day, no matter how wonderful project you undertake and what would be wonderful colleagues or dinner, you will find that somehow I did not really want to get up for work. First it happens once or twice a week. Then more often. And then all becomes a habit. Something similar traps and followers of a healthy lifestyle.

As long as there is a lot to learn, there is no place to boredom

We can with certainty say that any new post, let it even be a sausage shop or work the conductor, the first time you will be interested. And if on the surface of interest is a new environment and a new experience, then, having dug deeper, we can see traces of adaptation, by which, at an even greater depth, you find the coveted treasure in the form of training. That is, as long as the failed adaptation, man, if he is not devoid of common sense of curiosity, it will be interesting. Where interest, there is no place for routine and gray weekdays. The same principle can be extended to a multi-dimensional concept of how a healthy lifestyle (aka HLS).

Initially, only written in the gymWe find ourselves in a new brave world where everything is different: different wall color, a soft coating on the floor, coaches on other style shirts. A huge variety of simulators will nourish your heart pioneer, which will be every morning to throw you out of bed to pack a bag for you, lace boots and in all weather conditions to push you to kick street. If you decide thorough approach to their training, to the unknown "piece of iron" will be added and a new diet. You, as a medieval alchemist will cook their own food, which is, on the idea, should magically turn into muscles and excess fat at the same time has to evaporate. Every week - measurement results and a new experiment. You are no worse than Edison, which improves its incandescent lamp, the only difference is that you improve your life - through food, exercise habits.

When the routine turns into boredom

And now comes this strange day.

Or even a day, and a series of days, as though filled with the autumn blues and rainy boredom. You are used to the color of the walls, to the coaches a style t-shirts, trainers and tried everything in his physical form achieved endless plateau, which increasingly resembles the ceiling. Another piece of hateful chicken breast after chewing monotonous echo falls into the stomach and is given to ringing in the ears. How much more? How long do I still stand in this spartan regime? Limited power, limited alcohol, sleep schedule, a gym, where you spend more time than normal people in front of TV. How long?

Human nature is such: ceasing to learn anything, he slowly zahirevaet, languishes, and his life becomes blokloy and black and white, like an old shabby film.

About the same question asks himself a veteran employee of any company's middle management, where he has been working for more than one year. Why all this? For whom? What am I doing here? After all, you want something new, fresh air, the sun, some freedom. And people live to leave, buy a ticket and, when he was strapped to a chair in the cabin of the aircraft receives the required turbulent shake and getting rid of bleak thoughts. Posleotpusknoy relaxing effect lasts for some more time. And if an employee is not a simpleton, it will make every effort to ensure that this amount of time to move on a new project, or change jobs before even stronger wave of depression will cover it with head. Such is the nature of man: ceasing to something to learn, he quietly zahirevaet, languishes, and his life becomes blokloy and black and white, like an old shabby film.

It is worth to turn sports into the work as they begin to turn away from. By "work" I mean the iron regime of training and nutrition that can be justified and prior to the competition, but that it would be very rash to put at the forefront of your life. Job - this is when you get up every day at the same time to go to the same room, to carry the same hardware in the same way. Up down. Up down. Romance! And it's not even the fact that all of this monotony can delight, perhaps, is that the robot.

The fact is that in your life now everything is counted. You know in the weeks ahead what you will and what you will not eat, you know that if you offer a pile, then you give up, and that your every day will be held under the banner of received and expended calories, laps wound on the stadium, squeezed in the room kilograms. You will live in the months ahead, predictable way of life. Such a life is not like a fruit yogurt, which sang Makarevich. Therefore, I propose a recipe based on his old friend (successfully!) A Jew who in his 70+ years of continued training and is in a very enviable form, while not being a slave gym.

How not to make a healthy lifestyle work

Do not exercise. Sometimes

Maybe it's hard to believe, but people do not iron. Fatigue tends to accumulate, even if you think that you are rested. After a workout - it is not only physical but also mental work: you have to show the will constantly through pain, to overcome my laziness. It's like a small war. And from small wars sooner or later get tired. The ability of a person in a particular area resemble a bow, which is stretched, it is weakened. If this string all the time to keep on their toes, it is possible to accidentally break it and get ill or injured.

Do not exercise. long

Living in Israel, my friend and mentor, who has an average of 3-5 strength training a week, every summer vacation arranged for three months. He does not work with the iron. Only floated on the surf and make long walks along the waterfront, with the still burning some calories. In a strange way the muscles in the summer did not burn, and he himself in September rather quickly returned to the usual training regime.

Train, but in a different way

training "Differently" may include not only a new style of exercise performance on older simulators (for example, it is possible to reduce the time of rest between approaches), move to the track (if you have not engaged in it) or voluntary tonsure himself turnikmeny monks, but also in the change gym. In all rooms, exercise machines operate a little bit differently. You have to adjust to it. This period of adjustment will diversify your training and allow life to look at training from a new angle. Why not for the courage to go to the gym to old friend or make a jog along the waterfront with a former classmate?

Do not eat nothing but healthy foods

Of course, there is nothing "tastier" than low-fat cottage cheese or dry chicken, to which you want from half a liter of saliva, but, damn it, what kind of life, where sometimes one can not sin? Zhahnut pile and forbidden to smoke a Cuban cigar. You will lose in the competition? But how!

- Joe, how to think, why this year you took third place?

- I smoked cigars, drank whiskey and led a dissolute lifestyle.

The entire hall will envy you in silence until he breaks out into applause (standing). In the end, even a seven-time winner of the title "Mr. Olympia" (aka Schwartz) sometimes allowed himself a cigar or two under a good strong whiskey. This does not mean you have to run headlong into the nearest grocery store for liquor and cigarette smoke or make a sharp turn toward the McDrive. Can you think of any other suitable way for you to get away from the extremes of healthy lifestyles.

Stop drink water

Seriously. Water? This is for wimps. But try to live denok on caffeine and pies. I must admit that, when every morning I drink a cup of water, I do not like. I do not want to drink it. But I force myself to. But this is a hard mental work, which risks becoming work. So sometimes I still start to listen to your body and stop pouring a exorbitant liters the recommended daily water norm. In the end, is the tea can not be the source of the body needs fluid? Even as you can! Mountain tourists since the Soviet Union, which for weeks drank black tea alone and still feel great, will not lie.

Since the iron regime of healthy life is impossible to hold throughout life, should sometimes deliberately giving yourself periods for all sorts of indulgences and "sinful" acts. That's about as deliberate laziness and routine spitting at the ceiling. If it is too long to allow the body to not be lazy and live by the rules, then after some time he will rebel, and this will result in an injury or illness. Then the body will get your last "vacation" with all flows in and out. So why not pre-break? In the end, if the HLS has become a part of you, it does not mean that you no longer need to relax and myself as well. At least sometimes.
