Get Moving For National Exercise Day With GoFit

 National Exercise Day is celebrated on April 18 every year. It is a day to encourage everyone to participate in physical activities. Exercise enhances our general health by giving us more energy, making us feel better, and even extending our lives by years.

 On April 18th, I am going to be celebrating life with exercise, and I encourage you to do the same. Our bodies were designed to function better with regular physical activity, and a lack of exercise may lead to so many health problems. So, make plans to exercise on April 18th and make a commitment to fitness. If you already participate in regular physical activity, give yourself a high five and let others know about this day.

 I know the benefits of daily exercise, but unfortunately, so many people don't understand the health benefits of exercise. Obesity is on the rise, as well as chronic health conditions. Everyone, regardless of age, gender, or physical ability, benefits from exercise. National Exercise Day is a day to encourage and motivate people to exercise, with the aim that it will be the start of a new habit for everyone.

Say Yes to exercise and help others say Yes to movement

I am living proof that exercise has plenty of benefits. I am almost 60, and I know that exercise is a huge reason why I look and feel amazing. I also know how exercise has helped my body recover quicker from mold sickness. Daily exercise keeps my lungs strong, so I can manage my allergy-related asthma symptoms. 

 I am passionate about exercise and I will be celebrating National Exercise Day in a huge way.  Of course, I will be starting my day with exercise. I always start my day with fitness as it makes me feel so good and helps me have a good day.

I love using the GoFit Ultimate ProGym

 I have the GoFit Ultimate ProGym hanging on a door in my home workout room and use this resistance band system every day. I love how I can perform many different exercises with the bands and build up many different muscles. These bands are helping me make my muscles stronger without having to buy expensive dumbbells. This ProGym is also great for doing my stretching exercises.

You don't need weights to build muscle 

 You don't need weights to build muscle and lose fat. Strengthening and toning your body can be done by using resistance bands. All you need to get started is a door. 

 One of the best features of resistance bands or pull-up bands is their ability to be adjusted for all strength levels. So pull-up bands can be used by everyone, from beginners to professional athletes. Resistance bands will improve your strength, flexibility, and overall physical health.

How do resistance bands work?

The stretchy bands work by using resistance. Each band has a different thickness. A thinner band offers less resistance, so one does not need to put much effort into pulling it, while a thicker band requires more strength to pull. The strength of the bands to your muscle effort is also increased by how far you stretch the bands.

Examples of exercises you can perform with the resistance bands

 Incorporating pull-up bands into your workouts can significantly enhance your strength training routine. Below are some ways to use the bands with exercises to target different muscle groups.

Upper Body Strength

Bicep Building: Loop a band under your foot and place both handles in one hand. Place your elbow by your hip and pull the band up halfway to your shoulder.

Back and Arm Muscles: Hook the bands over a door and grab the handles. Walk out a couple of feet and pull the bands in a rowing motion.

Core Strength

Single Arm Pull: Place a band over a door and grab both handles with both hands. Stand a couple feet out from the door and turn sideways. Keeping one arm in a semi-bent position, use the arm to pull the band in a half-circle motion, using both the arm and the waist.

Lower Body Strength

Squats: Place a band or more over a door. Stand on a band with feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the bands and perform squats. Build more resistance by pulling the bands out further.
