Move For Energy: The 5 Simple Secrets on How to Move


All too often we can go through life stuck in a rut. Everyday ends up looking like the day before and we can barely muster the energy to get up off the couch let alone go out and exercise. But, and this is a big but, if you can shake up your day, if you can break the cycle you're in, exercise can add that energy boost you've been looking for. Here's how:
1. Walk a lot: Sometimes it seems like the world is conspiring against walking. Travelators, lifts, escalators, cars, trains, buses, bicycles etc. All of these are against walking. But if you can choose to walk on a regular basis you will find that you genuinely have more energy. Constant movement at a slower pace (not TOO slow!) can work wonders for you. Aim for a brisk walk where you are puffing but can still maintain a conversation.
2. Sprint a little: Once a week go for a sprint. It doesn't need to be running, you can sprint on a rowing machine or a push bike for those of you who are conscious of your knees. But once a week go out and do 6-8 sprints. Sprinting has been shown to raise hormone levels and improve energy levels, fitness, strength and power. But if you do it too much you will develop high levels of stress hormones which can be bad for your health.
3. Lift heavy stuff: A couple of times per week go out and lift heavy stuff. This can be push ups, pull ups, squats, planks, etc. you don't need equipment and you can do it at your own pace. But heavy lifting increases the right growth hormone which means more energy and more muscles!
4. Pilates: Pilates is a great way to improve core strength. When you have weak core stabilisers your other muscles must work much harder to keep you upright and be able to move. This takes up a lot of unnecessary energy. If you work with well trained Pilates instructors you can improve your core strength and stability which will give you more energy.
5. Get an Adjustment: Getting specific chiropractic adjustments can make a huge difference. Adjustments affect the nervous system; often we are tired or have low energy due to disorganisation of the nervous system or from nervous system interference. Chiropractic adjustments can help your nervous system work at a higher level and give you more energy. It worked wonders for me!
Just follow these 5 simple secrets on how to move for energy and you will find you experience less tiredness, less fatigue and much more energy.
