The Power of Exercise
In this episode Ariel talks about clearing self-sabotage to reap the benefits of one of the most amazing ways to help us prevent stress, anxiety, depression and frustration: The power of exercise.
Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, Second Edition: https://health.gov/sites/default/files/2019-09/Physical_Activity_Guidelines_2nd_edition.pdf
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Today, about half of American adults – around 117 million people – have one or more preventable, chronic diseases. Seven of the 10 most common chronic diseases are favourably influenced by regular physical activity, yet nearly 80% of adults are not meeting the key guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity, while only half meet the key guidelines for aerobic physical activity.
- Nobody’s perfect, but you should know what the recommendations are: Adults should do at least 2.5-5 hours a week of moderate intensity exercise, or an hour and 15 minutes-2 hours of aerobic physical activity, or an equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous intensity aerobic activity. Preferably, you should spread that throughout the week. Muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity, that involve all major muscle groups, should also be done on 2 or more days a week. Kids and teens should get 60 minute a day of mild to vigorous activity.
- The choices we make are often not conscious, so while we think we don’t have enough time to exercise, we might actually have a belief that if we take the time to exercise we won’t have the time to do something else. Or that other people’s needs matter more than our own, or we might our appearance now and we might be embarrassed to be in front of other people working out. Patterns of self-sabotage and procrastination come up more around exercise than around any other goal that people have.
- Some people have really high expectations like radically changing their appearance. Radical weight-loss, for example, is not necessarily a good thing. You need to maintain the changes that you get over a long period of time rather than yo-yo between sudden weight loss and gain, it’s not good for your metabolism. Maintain consistent slow changes over time.
BEST MOMENTS
“Lack of physical activity is linked to approximately $117 billion in annual healthcare costs and about 10% of premature mortality.”
“Exercise has so many benefits: Lowering cortisol levels (stress hormones), improving quality sleep, elevating your mood, enhancing mental clarity, improving a sense of confidence, opening your range of motion and flexibility and improved self-esteem/self-confidence, experiencing a community with other people that exercise as well and a feeling of openness and greater possibilities.”
“Why aren’t people working out more?”
“You can’t force yourself to work out with negative judgement. But laughing at certain embarrassments we have can help us shift into a different headspace so we can continue on.”
