Movement is key to health and vitality, we all need to move or at least do something active consistently throughout our lives. Sure the activities will change with time but it is important we find out what we love to do in terms of movement.

A workout can be anything you want it to be from cleaning up the garage and gardening to a good old run or weights session in the gym. They all vary in intensity and provide different health benefits, but most importantly we all have our preferences…..

Your idea of a fun workout or activity may be different to mine, For instance, I grew up playing a lot of sports - Soccer, Tennis, Cycling and was generally an active kid and loved to be outside playing. As I grew older my love for sports remained but I stopped playing them as often and started spending more time lifting weights at the gym, going for runs, and sprints plus more general fitness training. The important thing I realised was that at one point I stopped working out and being active because it was something I really enjoyed but rather as it made me feel good and it was something I felt had to be done. Big mistake…….

It was only recently that it hit home that exercise and workouts had become somewhat of a chore, I was in a routine and not doing things I loved to do to keep active. I think this happens to a lot of us as we grow older, the things we originally did to keep active go out of the window and we workout to keep fit by doing standard workouts……

1. Think of the Ideal Active Lifestyle

Take a moment to sit down and write out a week of your ideal activities if time was no option, for me this would be:

• 2 hour long tennis sessions a week
• 1-2 Weights Circiuts in the gym
• 1 Barefoot Run
• Some Light Stretching and Yoga
• Lots of Walks

Now compare your ideal week of activity to what you are doing presently, I bet it is pretty different….. It is not to say you should aim to emulate the exact ideal scenario but rather to be used as a tool to see what you would really like to be doing. This exercise will allow you to get in touch with what you really want to be doing….

2. Which Activities Do You Enjoy Best

Take a journey back in time and remember back to what you enjoyed doing as a child and even your teenage years, think of all the sports you did and which ones you liked the best. Things like:

• Running/Playing with freinds
• Skateboarding
• Swimming
• Cycling
• Sports (Tennis, Golf, Baseball, Basketball, Football etc)
• Surfing

Think back to more general activities you enjoyed before you started working out or stopped working out. This should give you a pretty good idea of what you would enjoy doing and can give a template for some activities you can pickup to re-discover your passion for something….

3. Stay Active For the Right Reasons

The healthiest people are active because they want to be and enjoy what they are doing, not because they strive to be fitter or have a leaner body. This is a very important lesson we can all learn from and once you start to re-discover your passion for activities long forgotten good things start to happen – You will use your free time doing things you want to do and you will really enjoy staying active plus you will probably find that the stuff you enjoy doing is out in the open and not in a stuffy gym…

The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they’ll ease
Your will they’ll mend
And charge you not a shilling. - Wayne Fields

The only way to stay active and healthy throughout our lives is to find a set of activities we really enjoy and practice them regularly, they need not be strenuous all the time and so long as they get us moving on a regular basis that is fine. You will probably find that happiness increases immensely once you re-disover the activities or sports you enjoy and start practicing them regularly.

What activities do you really enjoy?

This article is titled Avoid Ruining Your Testosterone Levels and you will see the full article published below for convenience:

Testosterone is a hugely important hormone for not only men but women also. We all need it to survive and it is especially important as we age when our levels start to steadily decline if we do not look after ourselves. Besides being a potent aphrodisiac testosterone provides us with a stable emotional state, controlling our mood and allowing us to avoid becoming a “grumpy old man” with age. For Women testosterone helps with decision making and providing general enjoyment of life. Along with this Testosterone holds several other benefits for both men and women:

• Keeps bones solid and dense
• Allows you to maintain a good level of muscle mass
• Fends off excess fat gain
• Keep disease at bay
• Provide vigour and mental sharpness

So basically it is pretty good stuff and something we want to keep at a solid level throughout our lives. And while testosterone declines naturally with age there are a few things that can be taken into account……

Avoid Plastic

There is no need to become militant about getting plastic out of your life but every little helps. Studies are showing that the oestrogenic compounds leached by fluids and food from plastic packaging can have a pretty detrimental affect on human health.

“We must have identified just the tip of the iceberg in that plastic packaging may be a major source of xenohormone* contamination of many other edibles. Our findings provide an insight into the potential exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals due to unexpected sources of contamination.”

Now Oestrogen itself is not bad and it is needed to compliment testosterone. The problem comes with the man made Xenohormones which have a testosterone lowering and oestrogen triggering effect. This is bad news for both men and women…. Try avoiding some of the following common sources of Xenohormones:

• Microwaving or cooking food in plastic containers
• Drinking water from plastic
• Plastic cups and plates at home
• Plastic spoons for cooking food

Remember every little helps in this department so the more you can do to remove plastic from your life the better.

Processed Soy

The oestrogenic effects of processed Soy and well documented, mice have shown to have significantly lower testosterone levels when eating soy products.

These results suggest that in adult males, genistein induces the typical estrogenic effects in doses comparable to those present in soy-based diets.

Sadly processed soy products are documented as a health food, which they certainly are not. Avoid things like Soy Milk, Tofu and pretty much any food with Soy in the ingredients (it seems to be sneaking it into health/protein bars very often now). This point is especially applicable to female readers who are more to likely to be using some sort of Soy products as they are more promoted and aimed toward the female market. Soy is fine used in its traditional context, so things like tempeh, edamame, miso and other natural soy products. These may even hold benefits……

Drink

I am not talking about drinking water but rather alcohol, especially binge drinking. We can get away with this to some extent when younger but with age alcohols detrimental effects when over consumed catch up with the human body. Drinking large amounts also has a detrimental affect on the immune system and can de-regulate our sleep cycles and ability to manage body composition (causing stored fat and muscle loss). Studies show that exercising before drinking alcoholic beverages has one of the biggest testosterone blunting effects:

“Physical stress immediately before alcohol administration prolonged the depressant effect of alcohol on testosterone secretion.”

Take into account these subjects drank quite a bit of alcohol. So do not worry about having a glass of wine or a beer with your post dinner run or gym session…… Also let’s not forget that some alcohol has been shown to have an anti-oestrogenic effect to some extent, this is thanks to the polyphenol resveratrol found mainly in red wine. So again this one comes down to a fine balance in that drinking moderatly probably will not effect testosterone and it is binge drinking that we should worry about…..

Over Exercising and Stress

Overexercising is a real deal breaker in terms of hormones. Running your body down in any sense is likely to have a detrimental effect on not only testosterone but your bodies immune function and mood. Essentially exercise is stress on the body, it is something we do to break ourselves down to get stronger and fitter. We need to rest after bouts of exercise especially “High Intensity” stuff which is everywhere now. As the old adage goes “Muscles are made in the kitchen, not the gym” so make sure you get plenty of rest between exercise sessions. If you are exhibiting any signs of overtraining:

• Feeling “Blah” or down
• Persistent muscle soreness, taking longer to recover
• Irritability
• Reduced heart rate upon waking
• Constant infections, reduced immunity

Then it is probably a good idea to back off training of any kind for a week. Maybe limiting things to some Long Walks, Yard Work, Stretching and maybe Light Cycling. Once you start to feel better and vigour returns, your body is ready to go again. Remember to eat well during times of stress as calorie restriction (which often happens without noticing when stressed) acts as another stressor on your body.

Everything in Moderation including Moderation itself….

These 4 points should serves as an indication of things that have a detrimental effect on not only testosterone but probably our general endocrine system having a knock on effect on many hormones. Like everything do not get too caught up. Use this post as a guide as to what to avoid to maintain a healthy hormonal system. Unfortunately many of these things are hard to avoid in todays world especially plastics. So just keep things in mind and do the best you can…..

Don’t let the TV ads convince you to buy some bulky contraption that will gather dust in your closet, crunches are safe and effective! This video clip shows how to do crunches with varying degrees of difficulty based on your ability. Remember that ab exercises alone will not give you abs! If you have the best abs in the world they will be completely invisible if you are overweight. Aerobic exercise and proper diet are even more important than ab exercises in getting that sought after 6-pack. Form is very important in crunches, many people do them incorrectly and end up working out their neck or hips more than their abs. Use slow movements and only use the abs. Concentrate on trying to raise your shoulders straight up towards the ceiling. Don’t worry about how many reps you do but focus on using perfect form. No whipping the head around or flapping your arms! This is not a sit-up either, the hips are stationary. Also important is to minimize any tension in the neck, I do this by very lightly supporting my head with my hands or the weight plate The main reason to workout abs is because strong abs stabilize your lower back and shield you from injury but as a side benefit a 6-pack looks great!
