Fitness is important. It is important ? to the way you look and to the
way you feel. It is important to the total health of your body. There are many things that you can do
to achieve optimal health. Here are some tips on getting in shape and staying in shape.
When doing crunches, be careful not to strain your neck. If you put your tongue to the roof of your
mouth while doing them, this can actually help to properly align your head and neck. Experts
disagree on whether this helps on a physical or physiological level. Either way, it does seem to
lessen neck strain.
In order to maximize your fitness routine, be sure to always stretch. Stretching will help to prevent
injury. Many times you may think that you do not have to stretch, or that if your exercise is light
enough that your body will stretch itself. This is never the case, and becomes more important the
older you get. Always stretch to prevent injury and get the most out of your workout.
Achieve optimal fitness by using your body's processes to your advantage. Stick to smaller weights
at first and gradually build your way up to machines. This way, you can work fatigue-prone smaller
muscles first. Your larger muscles need less support from smaller muscles, so this is an optimal way
to work your physiology to your advantage.

by exercising all of your body parts, and you can have fun while doing it.
Get some sunshine and fresh air! It's easy to succumb to boredom and become completely inactive
when we are always confined to the inside. Make an attempt to get outside for at least a few minutes
every day. It will improve your mood and greatly increase your likelihood of exercising.

Even the most seasoned runner ? encounters muscle soreness in their calves
upon waking in the morning. Try this: sleep on your stomach and allow your feet to hang over the
side of your bed. Overnight, the effects of gravity will lightly stretch your muscles, making them
noticeably less sore when you wake up the next morning.
when in the gym, you can save more time by only resting when you need to. You shouldn't need to
doing early sets as your muscles are just warming up. As your routines progress just rest as you
need instead of wasting a set amount of time which you may not even need to use yet.
Practice balancing on a sofa cushion to improve your body's overall balance. Stand on it with one
leg, and move a medicine ball, jug, or something else a tad weighty, from one hand to the other, side
