There are many great reasons to love working out, from the increased confidence it affords you, to the way it can help in your relationships, to the way it increases your ability to compete in sports and other physical activities.

However the main thing I love about the gym is that it's action packed. You see I spend most of my time working on the computer, and when I'm not doing that I tend to come home and read or play computer games. It's a sorry state of affairs really because what I actually want to be doing is having adventures and engaging in battles.

 I don't really want to play games like Skyrim, I want to live them - but sadly the reality of walking through woods all day carrying a large weapon and attacking animals is a lot less practical and realistic than that game would have you believe.

Professional football player Lawrence Taylor used to be in amazing shape, but after he stopped playing football and began getting older, he found it harder and harder to stay in shape, even after years of being in peak condition. Like many professional athletes, he never imagined that he’d end up overweight. But when he stopped playing he no longer worked out the same way. It wasn’t long before he began putting on weight, five pounds here, ten pounds there, and before he knew it he was overweight.

Fortunately, Lawrence is a very strong-minded person who once he sets a goal, he does everything in his power to meet it. After turning 50 he wasn’t happy with himself at all, and decided that as a birthday present to himself he’d get back to his playing weight, knowing that this would bring him a healthier and happier life. He wanted to do it not only for his family, but also for himself, so that he would feel again like the world-class athlete he’d once been.

You’ve probably heard that resistance training is one way to lose weight, and cardio training is another. What would you say if I told you that you could combine the two without having to spend more than fifty dollars?

Elastic exercise bands are a cheap, yet effective way of losing weight. While top-of-the-line resistance bands can cost you fifty dollars, you can purchase them new for as low as twenty dollars.
