When you
are fit enough to embark on a more sustained exercise program, you will
experience the wonderful pleasure of feeling the adrenaline rush. You will
really feel like you are high!
This
sensation will soon be followed by two other wonders: the pleasure of rest
after intense activity and the possibility of satisfying that ogre's appetite
and that consuming thirst without gaining weight and without feeling guilty.
The market
is flooded with materials, videos, fitness clubs, etc., specially designed to
help you lose weight and get back in shape. I advise you to ignore all of this.
Exercising to lose weight causes a feeling of sacrifice. Struggling to feel
good and healthy is exactly the same.
Physical
activity doesn't have to be a chore. Do children need to force themselves to
exercise? When you were young, did you spend all your good money swimming,
dancing, playing tennis or golfing to lose weight and feel good about yourself?
Of course not ! You were doing it for fun. Now, you might think to yourself
that you enjoyed it back then because you had the energy to enjoy this kind of
activity. Perhaps. But it is not because the energy is reserved for the youth.
It is because of the lifestyle that most of us have adopted.
Well, we're
going to change all that. This is exactly the purpose of THE SIMPLE METHOD. If
you follow the directions, you will soon be full of energy, and you are in luck
because there is a whole range of activities to choose from depending on your
age, strength, physical condition and your particular tastes: golf, bowling,
squash, tennis, badminton, jogging, trekking, nature walks, biking, ice
skating, soccer, baseball, swimming , hockey, basketball, volleyball, skiing,
gymnastics, to name a few.
In addition
to the pleasure that its practice can provide, sport has additional advantages
such as social contacts and has the virtue of whetting the appetite, which will
allow you to enjoy your meals and be able to eat more without putting on
weight. Among other positive sides, let us quote the fact that it strengthens
the muscles and shapes. It gives a goal, it adds to the pleasure of existence.
Last asset, not obvious at first glance: it is a good remedy for boredom, which
is a major cause of overeating.
Most
animals in the wild take daily exercise when hunting or foraging, while
avoiding feeding the competition themselves. Western civilized man has used his
brain to suppress the need for activity. Some of us replace this exercise with
manual occupation. I am convinced that regular physical exercise is essential
for enjoying life.
Our bodies
were designed to move, not to stand still. But exercise doesn't have to be a
punishment. It should be fun in itself. A pleasure that would bring real
additional benefits.
In fact,
that is the whole subject of this book. We have received the greatest blessing
imaginable: the gift of life. As human beings, we are privileged to be equipped
with the strongest survival machine.
Sophisticated
planet. If you are fortunate enough not to suffer from any serious physical or
mental handicap, you are truly super privileged.
