More importantly....have you actually listened to the advice?
I would like to reiterate the importance of including a regular fitness program into your daily life. The benefits are endless. For example, a regular fitness plan can help with weight loss, increase energy, increase metabolism rates, and build muscle definition.
Regular exercise can decrease stress. The human body generates hormones that can be stress causing, but regular exercise can decrease hormones like norepinephrine and cortisol. These hormones are found in the endocrine system. Cortisol affects the metabolic system, and norepinephrine is believed a relation to hypertension. A fitness plan that includes 30 minutes of aerobic exercise at least three times a week can reduce the risk of heart disease, hypertension, obesity, depression, diabetes, and other health issues.

A proper program would include a warm up, aerobic (cardio), anaerobic (low intensity) and/or weight training, a cool down, and stretching. It is important to remember proper stretching methods to reduce the chances of injury. See our blog: Stretching-101

If you would prefer a more one on one approach, check out personal trainers. Personal Trainers can develop a fitness plan tailored specifically for you and your body. Focusing on your personal health and wellness goals.
Look for high recommendations and proper certifications when searching for a personal trainer.
Above all else, remember to incorporate regular visits to your wellness clinic. With training and working out, the anatomy of your body will be changing. Booking appointments in between your visits to the gym can greatly increase your ability to reach your goals quicker. Regular chiropractic adjustments before a workout can help you have a better and stronger workout. Focusing on proper positioning with a fresh alignment can really boost your workouts. Regular massage visits post work outs is always nice. After a long race, or any intense cardio activity, your RMT can provide a full body massage to help eliminate sore, achy muscles, also known as DOMS (delayed onset muscles soreness).
If you have any questions or concerns about your fitness plans, speak to your family doctor or chiropractor to learn how regular exercise and therapy can help.
