Okay, at this point we
have established that you probably don't dig heavy exercise.
To put this situation in perspective, let's recall
a popular Andy Griffith episode - the Aunt Clara's Pickles
episode.
Andy and Barney were
a bit upset because Aunt Bea had made a batch of homemade
pickles. Although Bea could cook, she didn't do
pickles well at all. So they pretended to like them,
then worked hard to peddle them off on visitors passing
through Mayberry, replacing the nasty-tasting homemade
pickles with store-bought pickles.
It wasn't a big deal
to them - even when Bea announced that because they
appeared to like her pickles so well that she had decided
to enter them into the county fair.
Then Andy had a visit from Clara who had won
the 'best pickle' ribbon for many years. She had a book
that contained all her ribbons - and she was so proud
of her accomplishments. And Andy suddenly realized
that although the pickle ribbon didn't mean anything
to him and Barney, it meant a great deal to Clara.
In the end, Andy and
Barney made sure that Bea entered homemade pickles rather
than the store-bought ones that the boys had switched
out and passed along to Mayberry visitors. They
had to eat a lot of pickles so that Bea would have need
of preparing another batch for the fair.
Clara won, hands down
- telling Andy how much she had suffered over making
her pickles. Andy responded, "We've all suffered,
Clara."
So with that said, think
of exercise as all the things that Andy and Barney did
to get rid of those pickles in one way or another. They
didn't want to it. And they kept meeting obstacles that
they had to jump along the way - such as making sure
that they ate up all the store-bought pickles so that
Bea would prepare a homemade batch.
They had to scramble
at times - but they had a vision, a goal in mind as
they went along. And that's how our exercise time
should be - set forth with fitness goals in mind. What
do we want to accomplish? Toning? A stronger body?
A more muscular body? Our response sets the pace
for our activity routine and we build our plan around
these things that we want to accomplish.
Example:
Bodybuilding requires a much different activity plan
than toning. It requires a deeper well of dedication
to both the activity routine and the daily diet than
a toning plan does.
The rewards of exercise
represent Clara's smiling face, and of course - that
snazzy blue ribbon that she put into her book. It
was a record of her accomplishments.
Exercise gives us so
many health benefits - and we just flat feel better
when we move around. And we accomplish milestones
in our weight loss plan, it instills so many positives
that we can then build upon.
THE KEY TO FINDING AN
EXERCISE ROUTINE THAT'S PERFECT FOR YOU
is to discover something that you love to do! For
Tom and me, it's hiking. We love to hike; we love
to climb and so that's what we do.
For someone else, it
may be shooting hoops or walking the dog or even playing
a game of tennis. It may be roller skating, hula
hooping, skipping rope or running.
Tom and I support moderate
exercise coupled with a daily diet based on the official
food pyramid. We feel that individuals would improve
their health GREATLY if they implemented moderate activity
at least every other day for at least 20 minutes. And
if an individual can't do 20 minutes, even 5 minutes
is better than nothing.
We also feel that the
activity guidelines set forth in many diet plans and
programs is frankly nutsy coo-coo and is a chief reason
that dieters LEAP off the Old Diet Trail.
