Exercising for life – The magic is in the synergy!

Synergy: the working together of two or more things, people, or
organizations, especially when the result is greater than the
sum of their individual effects or capabilities

Momentum toward your goals is generated when all components of
fitness are incorporated into your workout program.

•Heart-through cardiovascular workout •Skeletal muscle-through
strength training •Joints-through flexibility exercises. •Good
Nutrition-through balanced sensible eating.

Some exercise is better than no exercise; however, if your
program is lopsided with one or two of the same activities, you
will not get the best results.

DRIVING THE CAR

Having synergy in your exercise program is like turning a car as
you are driving down the road. It’s much easier to turn the
wheel while the car is moving rather than when it is sitting in
your driveway. Momentum allows you to steer the car, just as
momentum allows you to continually progress in your workout
program.

ROLLING THE SNOWBALL

Another example of having synergy in your workout program would
be rolling a snowball. Once the momentum has started, it keeps
building and building. Keeping that in mind, it is very easy to
only do certain exercises that you like and those that take less
effort; however, because this will not work, in the end you will
end up having to workout harder and longer.

In a Nut Shell: It is really important to have all areas of
fitness working together and in the most effective way possible.
When all the parts are working the machine works better. Leaving
out parts of your exercise routine, just because you do not like
them, is asking for failure.
