The Physical Element
This is the least popular aspect of exercise, but everybody knows it needs to be done. You’ve got to work out. The best way to do so is in increments of thirty minutes wherein you get to the point where you’re sweating. Do that six days a week, take one day off to recuperate. Push yourself with each workout, but only slightly.
You don’t have to push things too hard. If you only increase your caloric numbers by five every day you work out, six days a week, that’s 120 calories a month. Do that for a year, and you could go from 200 calories per half hour workout to 1,640. In fact, you may not even be able to keep up that level of increase.
There are different ways to get this level of workout, if you’re going to run or jog, outdoor exercise is good, but you can’t always do it owing to the weather. A good idea is to find the absolute best treadmill you can.

What, How, And When You Eat
Don’t eat right before you go to bed, don’t eat too much, don’t go too long without eating, and do eat when you wake up. Eat only natural foods that won’t sit on a shelf without going bad until the world ends, as Twinkies are reputed to. You need veggies, greens, healthy protein as in meat and eggs, a smattering of dairy, and balanced whole grains for roughage.

The Mental Health Element
If you don’t feel healthy, it’s going to be hard to keep yourself motivated. It’s like this: if you work out hard, then your depression makes you eat a bunch of junk food, you’re going to counteract the good effects of your exercise. Also, if you work out regularly, but then you feed your mind with negative garbage, you could die of something collaterally.
It doesn’t matter how well you work out or what you eat if you engage in unhealthy activities. The best exercise in the world can’t overcome addiction-related overdose. Also, even if you’ve got a strong body, certain substances can destroy you. If you’re mentally unhealthy, you’re a lot more likely to engage in such activity.
Beyond depression or mania, a preference for “darker” things in life will likewise reduce your physical excellence. Certainly, “Elvira” seems like the pinnacle of beauty as regards hot dark goth ladies. However, that lady is practically painted. But people are suckers for their preferences.
We want to think that we can be perfectly healthy in living a lifestyle that represents merely a role for an actress. Elvira isn’t really the mistress of the dark, she’s an actress named Cassandra Peterson who is very fastidious about staying in shape. She isn’t remotely the gothic queen of the cinema we are led to believe.
Getting In The Shape Of Your Life
In a nutshell, mental health, physical health, and nutritional health represent the three strands you need to weave together into the rope of personal physical excellence. Work your body, feed your body, and feed your mind. Do these things right and you won’t only get in shape, you’ll stay there.
