About Andy-Gold's Fitness and Health Blog.

Hi - AndyGold here...Fresh for 2010.

Now,... I know you see lots of health and fitness blogs all over the net, so why read mine. I do read several health and fitness blogs myself and I have not yet see a blog that comes from someone who considers himself not-perfect..

Its like, all the blogs you see are written by chiseled Adonis Greek god and goddesses types. I know I'm a little over-weight, and now that I have a sedentary job, sitting in front of my computer 24/7, its really really hard to keep my motivation and direction.

OK - So what am I going to talk about.. Mainly my own health and fitness regime and how I overcame / or aspire to overcome my - at-times, lack-of-motivation, procrastination and the challenges I face or have faced during exercise..

Like- (I hope you don't think I'm being rude, because I'm talking about myself here)... Being a fat-ass and trying to ride an exercise cycle. I could not go for as long as I could before I put the weight on, not only, in part due to earlier exhaustion. But mainly due to the fact that I got a numb-bum from my weight on the saddle. Then later, saddle sores if I persisted. (My tips to avoid this in a later post).

Another issue, is your own self-talk. What you say, when you talk to yourself. I know this will sound like I've lost the plot, for those of you who don't agree or appreciate the benefits or effects of self-talk.. Anyway, I hope to write a few posts as to why this is a great mental tool to aid you in the pursuit of your goals all round, as well as for your health and fitness.

In addition, I have my Twitter groups. There's SelfTalk4u - but namely FitnessMad - because I often feel that I am obsessed with my health and fitness.

Lets face it, without your health and fitness, everything else is pointless. You may have a goal to earn a million or already have millions indeed. You may have an ideal family or be in the throws of designing your life and building your family..

But... What use is all or any of that to you, if your health is failing or worse! Especially, the biggest kick, would be, as you lay on your death-bed... Knowing that you could quite easily have done plenty of things to extend your life, or conversely NOT SHORTEN IT, with all those bad living habits..

OK - So now I have cheered you up, no-end, with all of that, why should I bother with all this.. Well, I usually write in my personal and private journal. Its a shame to just keep all that knowledge to myself.

Overflowing with health and fitness advice and tips, plus these are not just things or information that I have gleaned out of all my reading and study over the years, but also my own discoveries!

I have a secret or two, several key things to looking younger that I have developed over many years that I'll tell you about. You see, I do manage to get my age misjudged by on average 10 years and often 20 years younger than I actually am..

Anyway, we shall see. Like I said, I'm not perfect. I still have difficulty from time to time with my desire and motivation, as well as personal health issues.

I want to write an article for you to tell you about my 'GOOD BACK' - Self-talk again .. but If you have a bad back.. And I know you won't believe me, but half the battle is in your own mind. Right down from the way you talk about your bad-back down to how you operate your body.

Your body is a machine.. A living machine. Don't over-stress it, but work it enough to keep it in good physical working order. Put the right fuels in, staying fit over 40, my fitness advice, how to get fit if you're unfit, etc..

More on all that later.. So, I hope to see you back here again, when I've had time to add more posts..

AndyGold...
Stay healthy and fit.
