Improve Your Vertical Jump Now

How many times have you made a New Year’s resolution to go to the gym and get some muscle growth happening and found your resolution fading before the month of February rolled around? Don’t feel bad. You’re not alone. If you really wanted to get fit, you wouldn’t have to make a resolution.

It’s not really that you don’t want to get fit. It’s that you confuse fitness with hard work. That’s why you don’t keep your fitness vow. As soon as you think about it, you think of hard work. It doesn’t have to be that way, though.

If you like pumping iron, that’s one thing, but if you don’t, that’s quite another. What you need to do is to find a way to get fit that you enjoy. Then it’s easy.

If you always enjoyed swimming, get back in the pool. Just don’t ruin it by setting unrealistic goals for yourself. Instead of resolving to swim ten laps, just resolve to swim one. Get back in the water just for the joy of being in the water. When you swim one lap, you’ll probably want to swim two, but if you make yourself swim a large number of laps, you probably won’t be motivated to go to the pool regularly.

This fitness strategy runs counter to what’s taught in most of the fitness manuals, but it works. An example of how it can work for you is jogging. Millions of people either quit jogging or never take it up because they think they’ve got to push their limits. Next time you’re out walking, jog a few yards every once in awhile. Before long, you’ll string all those short jogs into one long jog and you’ll enjoy it.

Almost everybody loves to ride a bike and bicycles are a fantastic way to get fit. That doesn’t mean you have to go out and buy a top of the line Schwinn mountain bike, though. Wait till you’ve taken a few spins around the park on a rented bike. Keep it casual and before long, you’ll be speeding down a mountain track.

Don’t do what so many people do and go out and buy every dietary supplement there is. When you’re starting out, a balanced diet and perhaps an herbalifeline will be more than enough.

That’s quite a different approach to fitness than the furrowed brow and grim determination method, isn’t it? Think about it, though. Shouldn’t fitness be fun? You’ll find that it is fun and only becomes more fun the fitter you get. So don’t make a vow to get fit, just get out and enjoy yourself and fitness will come.
