Sex Along with food, it is a natural need of the human body. This intimate process gives people incredible pleasure and pleasure. But even sex happens for the first time. It is the first intimate intimacy that is remembered for a lifetime. The development of the relationship will depend on how it goes.
It often happens that young people suffer a fiasco and because of this they break up or even begin to be afraid to enter into intimacy. Therefore, in order to avoid disappointment, you need to be well prepared for this important moment in your life.
In this article we will reveal the main secrets of how to have sex for the first time, which will help lovers experience true bliss.
Highlights of first intimacy
Many boys and girls ask the question: “At what age can you start having your first intimate relationship?” The answer to this question is ambiguous. There is an opinion in society that you need to start having sex after marriage (at about 18-25 years old).
But the influence of Western culture made its own adjustments. Now many lovers learn the basics of intercourse almost in their teens, before they even get married. And many couples have sex while in a civil marriage. As you can see, there is no exact age for the onset of intimacy.
As for sex itself, it can be viewed from both a physiological and psychological point of view. If in the first case it will be knowledge of basic techniques, then in the second it will be sensuality. The psychological aspect plays a huge role - when people love each other, intimacy becomes more passionate and emotional.
If there is no love in the relationship, sex will be perceived as ordinary mechanical actions. Therefore, if there are no feelings, it is better not to start sex.
Inner attitude is the most important thing
Before you have sex for the first time, you need to properly prepare yourself mentally. Young people need to remember that intimacy is not an exam or a competition, but a wonderful moment that helps to get closer to each other.
A romantic dinner in a relaxed, cozy atmosphere, which can be created in an apartment, house or hotel room, will help you relax and feel confident. Prepare a delicious dinner, put out a bottle of champagne or wine, light candles (can be aromatic), turn on calm music.
And on the bed, lay down beautiful linens and put a few pillows. Such a romantic atmosphere will help you feel each other better. It is also very important not to forget about personal hygiene. Before the crucial moment, you need to take a shower, you can perfume yourself a little with your favorite perfume.
Make sure you have reliable protection
Guys worry no less than girls before having sex for the first time. Therefore, you need to pull yourself together and be confident in your sexual power. To begin with, you should relax. A glass of champagne or wine will help with this. Just don’t overdo it with drinking, otherwise your first night together will turn into a complete nightmare. Next, invite the lady of your heart to a slow dance and start kissing her, gently stroking her neck, and then slowly begin to undress her.
Once you find yourself in bed, don’t forget about caresses. After all, they are the ones who will help a woman tune in to intimacy, as well as feel tenderness and trust in her partner. Caress her neck, chest, stomach, and then go lower to the genitals and start massaging them. This will help arouse the girl: her vagina becomes wet, which will help the penis penetrate inside faster and easier.
Once you have sufficiently “warmed up” your partner, place her on her back and carefully put her on condom on your penis. During sex, you need to move slowly and as carefully as possible so as not to hurt your partner. Most likely, your first sex will not go as you expected. But this is only the first experience. Next will be even more interesting and better.
A girl should also feel self confidence , namely, to feel your irresistibility and sexuality. To do this, it is important to ensure that everything is in order with personal hygiene.
An excellent personal hygiene product is intimate gel. It will remain clean and fresh for a long time.
When the partner is already mentally ready for intimacy, she should ask her partner about the availability of means of protection. If neither he nor she has any, she has the right to refuse intimate intimacy to her partner. This, by the way, is a good test of a partner. If a guy has good intentions, he will understand. And if a man insists on intimacy or immediately leaves, that’s where he belongs, which means he only needed one thing. But in this case, the girl should not be upset - sooner or later she will find a worthy guy.
After the first intimacy has passed, lovers need to kiss tenderly and hug tightly in order to feel spiritual closeness. After this, it is advisable for the girl to take a shower so that the intimate place where the hymen was torn does not get infected.
Questions and answers:
- At what age can you have first sex?
If quite recently it was customary to engage in sexual activity after marriage, and this is somewhere around 18-25 years old (it’s different in each country), then today everything has changed dramatically. European culture has so influenced our mentality and value system that people begin to have sex in their youth or in adulthood, while in a civil marriage, which is becoming increasingly popular.
- How should you prepare for your first sex?
Hygiene is paramount. Therefore, both the guy and the girl need to shop carefully. You especially need to wash your intimate areas. The guy should take care of condoms and the place where intimacy will take place. This also includes creating a romantic atmosphere.
- How to behave during the first intimate relationship?
The main thing is not to worry or panic. You should behave naturally and relaxed. The guy must control the process, and the girl must completely trust him.
- What position is best for first sex?
First sex is not the best time for experimentation. Here it is enough to limit ourselves to the missionary position.
- How to behave after sex?
After the first intimacy, you need to gently hug and kiss. And then it is advisable to take a shower, especially for a girl who has lost her virginity. And even if nothing worked out, don’t be upset, because this is just the first time, and then it will be even better.
This collection of tips will be useful to everyone who works out in the gym. From beginners to experienced athletes!
Humans tend to make mistakes. Even many years of experience in visiting the gym does not mean that we do not make many mistakes during training. What can we say about newcomers who bought a subscription for the first time and crossed the threshold of a fitness club!
In the article I will give advice on proper training and point out common mistakes when working out in the gym. As a result, your workouts in the gym will become much more effective and correct.
How to exercise correctly in the gym
Here is a good collection of good advice from a professional trainer who has spent more than one year in training, seen everything and made many correct observations and conclusions.
Don't train only on cardio machines
Modern cardio equipment is a powerful thing! And burning calories is beneficial to a certain extent. But, unfortunately, cardio equipment will not help to significantly strengthen and pump up the necessary muscles. They are designed to train the aerobic abilities of the body (heart, blood vessels, lungs, red muscle fibers). But this is not all that health and appearance depend on. Moreover, the development of aerobic abilities may not affect external data at all. Cardio will tone your muscles and help you burn some fat. But without strength exercises, the results of your training will not be very bright.
The fact that you walked, ran or pedaled for an hour does not mean that your body received a full load. Moreover, the load is proportional.
Use non-standard exercises
To stimulate your imagination 🙂 when working out in the gym, I recommend this video with unusual exercises that can rarely be seen in gyms. I filmed it a long time ago, but everything is still relevant.
Men without numerous exercises such as push-ups, twists, and legs cannot see the relief details of the body. Only rough, unsightly pieces of “meat”.
I never tire of repeating, there are no purely female or purely male exercises! It all depends on the goals. And the differences are only in the working weights on the barbell and in the simulators. In men they are much larger, in women less. And this is perhaps the only difference.
Correctly select working weights on machines and barbells
Have you seen guys in the gym who bench press 120 kg for 10 times, and then squat with a barbell weighing... 60-80 kg for the same 10 times? I've seen it many times! And this is not the norm, definitely.
There are correct proportions in working weights for different exercises. For example, if you bench press 80 kg for 10 times, then in squats, be kind enough to lift at least 100-110 kg for the same 10 times. And in the “horizontal row” simulator, pull at least 85 kg for 10 repetitions. These ratios are not taken out of thin air, but are dictated by human anatomy and physiology, so that unhealthy imbalances do not arise, leading to curvature of the spine and deformation of the joints.
Don’t neglect the help of others and your coach
A common mistake is “I can do everything myself and know it, I saw it on YouTube.” I saw it, I saw it. But seeing and knowing, seeing and being able to, seeing and understanding are two different things.
Many machine and barbell exercises that seem simple actually require proper technique and skill. They begin to work out correctly after 2-3 weeks of regular practice. And this is provided that you received the correct feedback from external observers (a coach or people nearby). Someone needs to look, evaluate and point out mistakes. And provided that you work with a sufficiently large working weight. Often, correct technique cannot be achieved until you lift a heavier barbell.
Other exercises, to be effective, should be performed with a weight that you most likely will not be able to lift in the last reps. Here you need insurance, which will be provided by an assistant.
Just take my word for it, the coach is good. Even if this is a novice coach. It's better than nothing.
If possible, use the services of experienced trainers. It always pays off.
If you are lucky enough to encounter a trainer-methodologist, you will be doubly lucky. Like, for example, my clients...
Of course, you can work out in the gym without a trainer. And quite successfully. But training with a coach will be much more effective, since the coach usually knows all the pitfalls and mistakes. And it simply won’t let you do them, saving your energy, time, and nerves. And at the same time teaching you numerous intricacies of the gym.
Attend more than just women's/general group programs
This is mainly for girls. The mistake here is the popular stereotype that “we pumped up all the muscles and did cardio” in a group workout. And this is in a small mirrored room without a single piece of hardware? And this despite the fact that every time for several months or even years the same set of exercises is performed with the same load? Made me laugh!
Exercises with your own weight, statics, jumping, stretching, step platforms, even working with a minibar, etc. - this is amazing! But it has its natural limits. And the very structure of group programs in clubs is such that the trainer, in principle, cannot control the load and technique of the exercises. You don't even notice what you're doing wrong. We jumped and everything was great! You feel what I'm talking about, right?
From time to time, replace your usual group workouts with qualitatively different strength training that will engage your muscles at full capacity. For example, attend group classes for a month, and a gym for a month. Include machines and barbells, dumbbells and kettlebells in your exercise set.
And programs need to be changed every 1-2 months, even if everything is satisfactory. And especially if you can handle it easily. This is a sign that you are no longer developing. Development always comes with difficulties in training.
Or, after your usual group program, you can perform several approaches with a barbell on the desired muscles.
Don't just exercise on weight machines
This is a favorite mistake of newbies in the gym. We move from machine to machine, forgetting about the barbell and dumbbells. It's easier and more interesting!
Well, to satisfy your curiosity, you can walk around the simulators like this for the first few workouts. But for full results, you need to follow a useful formula.
70% of the workout should be done with free weights (barbell, dumbbells, body weight). And only 30% are on simulators. This is the golden rule of training in the gym.
The fact is that most simulators are designed for isolated training of individual muscles. This is very useful in two cases:
1. If a person has an injury and he needs to specifically strengthen these muscles. Or get at least some kind of load.
2. If this is a professional athlete seeking to improve their shape and tighten the details of individual muscles. Or a strongman working out the weak points of the trajectory of some of the exercises he needs.
In all other cases, it is necessary to train the muscles in conjunction with other muscles. This is very good for health and is simply beneficial for reasons of increasing overall muscle mass and accelerating metabolism.
This effect can be easily achieved using barbells, dumbbells, and weights.
Include squats, deadlifts, upright rows, pull overs, dumbbell lateral swings, incline presses, lunges with dumbbells, hammer with dumbbells, etc.
Don't go too hard on your abdominal workouts
It is, of course, necessary to train your abdominal muscles. But this also requires moderation.
Don't forget that the abs are one of the muscles that make up the core musculature.
Excessive training of some parts of the core without sufficient compensating load on other parts of the core leads to deformities in the waist and pelvis. These are various postural disorders (insufficient or excessive lordosis), problems with the hip and knee joints, problems in the cervical spine, stoop.
I remember one hero from my childhood - a young man from the neighboring yard, Evgeniy, who managed to pump up luxurious muscles on the horizontal bar and uneven bars at our school stadium. When he passed through our yard, we simply did not breathe, looking at him with undisguised awe! His powerful biceps, ball shoulders, triangular torso, powerful pectoral muscles pulled his snow-white T-shirt so that it seemed like it was about to burst!
However... Remembering now his magnificent abs, I also remembered his other feature - a stooped back, excessive lumbar lordosis, and insufficiently powerful legs. Evgeniy could not reach the floor with his fingers...
Despite the excellent muscles of the torso, shoulders, and arms, this guy had no idea about the balance of the core muscles, so important for overall health and aesthetics. But then, back in the eighties, it seemed unimportant, since we knew nothing about it... But now we know!
Therefore, when pumping up your abs, do not forget about other elements of the core: oblique muscles, buttocks, back extensors, hamstrings. Don't forget about flexibility either.
In this case, the balance in the load is much more important than the development of one muscle.
Do not only crunches or leg raises, but also oblique crunches, hyperextensions, glute bridges, side bends with a dumbbell in your hand, sit-ups...
Do not avoid communication with doctors and medical care
We don't like doctors and these damn municipal clinics! We have every right to do this, given the low level of service.
However, without medicine there is nowhere in fitness. We somehow need to monitor our health: take tests, monitor hormones, notice early signs of emerging diseases, and ultimately treat our teeth.
Try to take the time to find the right doctor for you. Better than paid. Visit him once every 2-4 months. Check your blood pressure, vision, hearing, undergo general tests, some special tests (cancer test, for example), undergo the necessary courses of treatment, massage, and preventive procedures. Take the treatment you have started to its logical conclusion (especially if you are taking antibiotics).
Believe me, this will be a great investment in your health. After all, you will have a chance not to miss any serious problem, and begin to solve it long before it gains strength and leads to irreversible consequences.
After all, health is one of the most important reasons to visit the gym!
Before starting regular workouts in the gym, a visit to the doctor is required!
Learn basic methods of self-control during training
Not monitoring your breathing and heart rate while training in the gym is a bad habit.
Learn to count your pulse manually. Use available gadgets, services and applications for this.
It is better to film the exercises performed and view them after training, comparing them with standards. Or show the video to the trainer. For example, I immediately see even minor mistakes (and problems with the musculoskeletal system) simply by watching videos performed by my students.
Many exercises serve as an excellent test for various body parameters (flexibility, endurance, spinal curvature). But this information is more for trainers and specialists.
You also need to master basic self-control skills: monitor your pulse, recognize signs of fatigue, do not exceed recommended levels of exercise, and do not exercise if you are sick.
Leaving a workout on time is sometimes more important than finishing it completely.
Keep a training diary
It is impossible to remember everything you are going to do or have already done during training. And it's not necessary. It is enough to write it down in a special notebook or notebook. This gives you the opportunity to fully control the process and analyze errors. Lead the way!
There is no diary - it is not clear why the set of exercises did not work or why the injury occurred.
Keep a diary! It's not difficult and very useful.
I hope now you know more about how to properly train in the gym. I wish you not to make these mistakes. Put my advice into practice, train correctly! I will be glad to see your questions and comments.
Your love has already acquired a physical meaning, and a completely new life has begun for you... What should you get used to if you start having sex?
1. Safety rules
If you've started having sex, passionate feelings have entered your life and things are now grown up, one of the things you'll need is security. Let you have condoms everywhere - on your bedside table, in your backpack, and a couple at your boyfriend's house. Carry them with you to the party, in case cupid's arrow suddenly pierces you right on the dance floor - you have to be prepared for anything! It would also be good to practice putting them on - it’s unlikely that one hasty attempt will be enough.
2. Hello Doc
An unpleasant but necessary part of sexual life is visits to the gynecologist. Even if you know your first (and so far only) partner until the seventh generation, now everything is changing - for example, your hormonal background. The doctor should monitor your health and see you at least once every six months. Scary? Go with a friend or mom. In their presence, of course, the doctor may not ask you any “such” questions. If the doctor advises you to switch to oral contraception, his consultation will become almost a routine in your life - every time you will have to go in for a prescription.
3. Bye, illusions
One of the things you have to get used to when you become sexually active is the fact that nothing has really changed. Your face has not begun to shine in a new way, they will not erect a monument to you, they will not give up your seat on the tram. You won’t experience anything other than some psychological self-feelings. Moreover, if you don’t tell anyone, only you and he will know about your new life. Otherwise, some girls think that people who start having sex do not begin a sexual life, but an afterlife. They say that what is “there” cannot be understood by mere inexperienced mortals. It’s a pity that the truth turns out to be so prosaic - except for the sphere of sex, nothing will change at all in your life.
4. The enemy of the good
Do you think that now you have access to the main human passion and all types of earthly and extraterrestrial pleasures? As a rule, at the very beginning of sexual life, no one sees any heaven in diamonds - embarrassment, inexperience, and the inability to understand one’s needs and show them to the boy get in the way. Although, of course, there are exceptions to the rules. Unfortunately, after the first sex (and even more so before it), no one will give you a brochure with instructions, so you will have to increase your knowledge on your own. However, the learning process here is more than pleasant.
5. Other habits
Sometimes the beginning of sexual activity coincides with the acquisition of such things as an epilator, lace underwear, fishnet stockings, and so on. Now you will pay special attention to your appearance - and not only that side of it that is visible in clothes. Here it is important to let your new life feel beautiful, and not to drive yourself into complexes, because for some, intimacy is another headache, due to imperfect calves and the “wrong” breast size. Sex is a great opportunity to learn to love your body by focusing on the sensations it gives, rather than how it looks.
6. Club card
I mean, the entrance ticket to all these get-togethers with discussions of the hottest topics. Now you watch TV shows a little differently - you can imagine what exactly these experienced heroines are talking about. Or your friends who have been members of the club of “those who already” for a long time. Just keep in mind that you can fall into a trap here: until you know your preferences, appetites, boundaries, you may want to adopt someone else’s. The impressive exploits of a friend who had such a ah-ah-ah experience can make you feel like you have nothing interesting going on. And we urgently need to carry out exactly the same experiments with handcuffs, a hare mask and latex, whether you want it or not. But in fact, many young ladies just like to exaggerate everything, this is “a”. And “b” - sex is an absolutely individual thing. Not tolerating any imitation.
7. New level of relationship
Sometimes the first time brings the couple closer and strengthens the relationship. Sometimes not. But in any case, sex is not a recipe for happiness, not a band-aid for a broken heart, not a tool for manipulating a guy. It is not at all necessary to have sex only out of great and pure love, but in any case it should be done with a person with whom you feel completely safe and relaxed. Maybe that's why after the first sex, many couples' relationships become better and stronger. But this is far from a pattern.
8. Academic degree
With the onset of sexual activity, it would be good to receive useful knowledge from the right sources. For example, about types of contraception, about what to do if the condom breaks, about those things that accompany sex, and so on. This will protect you not only from sexually transmitted diseases, unplanned pregnancy and other delights of sexual life, but also from the fear of all of the above. The rule works in sex: you know more, you sleep better. Otherwise, you will mistake every indigestion for pregnancy, get scared because of a suddenly swollen lymph node in your neck, write off pimples as symptoms of a fatal disease, and so on. But keep in mind that suspicious articles on the Internet are a bad source that can make you discover everything at once, including ectopic pregnancy and prostatitis. But books written by gynecologists, as well as consultation with a doctor, even a basic sexual encyclopedia for teenagers are a completely different matter.
Thanks to the abundance of information about a healthy lifestyle in the modern Internet space, everyone can, if not develop their own, then find a ready-made fitness program for losing weight. The fact that it is quite possible to exercise at home and lose weight has long been proven to us by many Hollywood stars and millions of ordinary housewives who have turned from homely fat women into beautiful princesses. But even they once did not believe that without the help of professional nutritionists and trainers you could get an ideal figure from scratch. In order to get the desired result at home, you need 3 components:
- will;
- faith;
- workout.
It is this foundation that is the key to your dream, because without the right psychological adjustment it is almost impossible to lose weight.
How to start?
To get started on your path to an ideal body, create a small workout space at home. To do this, you will need standard fitness attributes:
- soft rug;
- comfortable sports suit;
- dumbbells;
- expander
Any elements can be easily replaced with ordinary household items, for example, lay a towel instead of a rug, take water bottles instead of dumbbells. But professional sports accessories will help you create the atmosphere of a real fitness room at home and make your workouts more productive, since they are much more convenient to use.
Find the right workout space to get started with your fitness routine. It is advisable to observe the process in a mirror, and there should be no fragile, breakable objects around that can be accidentally caught.
Before training, ventilate the room, change into suitable clothes and get started!
Golden rules for home workouts
Although fitness classes will be held at home, their rules are quite professional. Remember: you are not just exercising, but are aimed at losing weight, so the training should be carried out with full dedication and high activity. At the end, you may experience a slight burning sensation in your muscles, which means you are doing everything right. If acute, sharp pain occurs, stop exercising immediately.
Don’t feel sorry for yourself, don’t try to cut yourself some slack. Set yourself a task: repeat the exercise a certain number of times, and complete it. You don’t even suspect that your powers are truly limitless! Losing weight is your main goal, follow it!
Be sure to drink water before, after and during exercise. There is no need to try to drink a whole glass in one sitting, a few sips are enough.
Follow a training schedule, exercising at approximately the same time every day. During the process, you can watch your favorite TV series, this is quite an organizing factor. This way the training will be quick and unobtrusive.
Intensive training in the gym for weight loss is recommended to be carried out 3-4 times a week. Since fitness classes at home, as a rule, do not give such a load, they can be done daily. Of course, these recommendations are of a very general nature, because if you train with dumbbells at home for an hour or confidently do several approaches with many repetitions, then such a load can be equated to a professional one.
The whole body needs to be developed, regardless of which part you consider the most problematic. Remember, everything in our body is interconnected, only an integrated approach will contribute to harmonious development.
What to drink and eat for weight loss?
Everyone is already pretty tired of the topic of proper nutrition. This information is covered extensively in millions of publications and thousands of books. However, it is worth noting that no matter how active your training is, you can quickly achieve weight loss results only through a combination of diet and sports. Remember the three components of your success:
- water;
- healthy eating;
- sport.
During active training, the body accumulates waste products and lactic acid. These toxins cause a feeling of fatigue and provoke body pain after exercise. Drinking water (at least 1 liter per day) daily will help to properly and delicately cleanse the body.
Vegetables, fruits, and herbs are important in culinary preferences. Completely avoid processed foods, mayonnaise, and sweet foods. This way you will achieve weight loss without experiencing any discomfort associated with hunger.
Exercises for home fitness
There are plenty of weight loss exercises that you can successfully perform at home and achieve great results from scratch. When performing a sports complex, you may think that the training is beyond your strength and such loads are unrealistic for your preparation. Don't panic. Reduce the number of suggested repetitions, but perform all exercises correctly with the same approaches.
Any workout should begin with a full warm-up. This way you will not only protect yourself from possible injuries and sprains, but also enhance the overall effect of weight loss from training, and also get rid of discomfort in the muscles.
Abdominal workout
Strengthening the rectus muscle. Lie down on the floor, lock your hands at the back of your head, then smoothly lift your shoulder blades and shoulders off the floor. Make sure to keep your lower back firmly pressed to the floor. After 20 slow repetitions, take a 30 second break, then perform 2 more sets with the same interval and the same number of repetitions.
Oblique muscle training. The starting position is the same as in the previous exercise. The legs are bent at the knees, you can fix them, after which, raising the upper part of the body, try to pull the elbow as close as possible to the opposite knee. The scheme is as follows: right hand - left leg, and vice versa. Perform 3 sets on each side of 15-20 repetitions. If your physical fitness allows, then it is not necessary to take breaks between approaches.
After your abdominal workout, do some stretching. In a standing position, stretch your arms high above your head, bend several times to the sides, forward, and backward.
Legs and butt workout
Taking a lying position with your knees bent, begin to lift your buttocks, resting your heels on the floor. During training, the shoulders remain in their original position, the arms are extended along the body. Every 10th repetition, stay at the peak of tension for several seconds, tightly squeezing your buttocks.
By doing the following workout correctly, you will give a good workout to your abdominal muscles and hips. Lie on your side and rest on your elbow, with your other arm extended in front of you to help you maintain your balance. Perform swings with straight legs. Make slow, smooth movements, try to feel the work of each muscle. Perform at least 3 approaches on each leg, varying the number of repetitions depending on how you feel.
Chest and shoulder training
Unfortunately, many girls forget about exercises aimed at maintaining the tone of the upper half of the body. It’s completely in vain, because well-groomed arms and chest are just as important as strong abs and buttocks. To tidy up the back of your arms, which is the most common area of concern, you need to do triceps exercises.
In a prone position, place your bent arms on the floor and lift your torso. Elbows should be pressed firmly to the body, and then perform slow push-ups. To achieve the desired effect, it is enough to do 8 repetitions in 3 approaches. If you feel unbearable tension, then you can include only 4 repetitions in one approach.
To keep her breasts firm and high, every girl needs to do push-ups regularly. The simplest option: place your hands shoulder-width apart (or slightly wider), and begin to slowly lower your torso towards the floor. Keep your back straight, correctly, so that your chest almost touches the floor at the lowest point. If this exercise is too difficult for you, you can focus not on your toes, but on your knees.
Of course, doing fitness classes for weight loss at home will require a lot of discipline and willpower from you. However, after a few months of regular exercise combined with proper nutrition, you will be able to appreciate your new body in all its glory. This goal is achievable, all you have to do is start moving towards it!
There is probably no person who does not realize the benefits of playing sports for the body. However, it is common knowledge that not everyone can do systematic sports. Any of us can find among acquaintances, friends or relatives more than one or two examples when a person started jogging or doing exercises in the morning with the most sincere intentions of making them a permanent basis.
But 3-5 days passed, or at most a week, and good intentions evaporated somewhere. And there are several reasons for this: weak motivation (or lack thereof), inflated goals, excess goals, and low self-discipline. Let's try to figure out how you can make sports activities a need of the body, how to motivate yourself to play sports with pleasure and do it systematically.
Sports lifestyle. By maintaining the strength of the body, we form the strength of the spirit.
So, the day has come when you firmly decided to change your life. From now on, sport should become a life priority for you. So where to start? It seems that for most the first thing is put your physical body in order, develop it. The development of the body is integral to the normalization of health, therefore, as a result, well-being and mood will improve, and there will be a surge of energy. In a word, the quality of life will improve, and this is already motivation for playing sports. A well-developed physical body and good health allow you to:
- be able to do everything everywhere and without feeling tired;
- become more attractive in appearance;
- be in harmony with the outside world, with others;
- increase self-esteem.
Inattention to your body in youth may not be particularly noticeable, but with age this results in health problems and a significant deterioration in the quality of life in general. What is necessary for the physical development of the body? Here we need to solve a twofold problem:
- Start to control your diet - do not overeat, eat only healthy foods.
- Start playing sports in any form - exercise, jogging, cycling, race walking, swimming - but be sure to systematically, at least half an hour a day.
The system will create a habit, a habit will create a necessity, and the body itself will begin to regulate your lifestyle.
Assessing your health status
Everyone knows the fundamental principle of medicine - “do no harm.” The requirement for sports activities is similar. It would be quite paradoxical to see the outcome of physical education classes, designed, generally speaking, to improve health, when instead we end up with health problems, and even more so, disability. Therefore, before starting sports activities, not trusting our subjective feelings - they are often wrong - we go to the local therapist, this is where you need to start playing sports. The doctor, understanding his share of responsibility for your health, will prescribe the necessary examination, and based on its results, he will make his verdict regarding the loads that are permissible for you specifically. Having received a doctor’s conclusion, you can begin training without fear. However, not quite... We still need equipment.
Choosing sportswear and shoes
This stage of preparation for classes is quite important, although it is not without its pleasure. Everything is important here: the lightness of the clothes, their suitability for the season, and the quality of the fabric from which the clothes are made. It must be sufficient:
- thermally conductive;
- breathable;
- hygroscopic;
- elastic;
- highly durable.
The sports uniform should be cut so as not to restrict movement, allow blood to circulate freely, and breathe easily. At the same time, a sports suit should protect from the piercing wind and cold and prevent overheating during outdoor exercise.
When choosing sports equipment, you should pay attention to the neatness of the seams, the quality of fasteners and lacing, which can cause a lot of inconvenience if the workmanship is poor.
Shoes should also be light, comfortable, made from environmentally friendly materials and strictly match your foot size.
If you find motivation, everything will work out!
Motivation for sports activities is half the success. The very first classes should be carried out under the influence of motivation. A person should be able to give himself an answer to the question: “Why am I doing this?”, formulating his expectations: “To be healthy,” or “To be beautiful and to be liked by others,” or “To be noticed by someone in particular.” " And so on. This is the lever that will start the mechanism and make the whole sports training machine move. So, motivate yourself, set a goal and start forward movement.
