If you have made a New Years resolution this year then the chances are you are planning to do some form of exercise. However what is the best form of exercise and why?
Gym
The gym can be a great place to go to not only to exercise but for help on exactly what you need to do so lose that weight or work on those muscles. There are always people around the gym that you can approach for help on deciding what you should do. However the major problem with this is that it can be very expensive and if you are not going with friends and are without an iPod you are going to be pretty bored. More often than not it takes a very large chunk of your pay away from you and on top of rent/mortgage and bills it will stop you from buying things you want.
Running
The great thing about running is that it is a very affordable way to get exercise. To get the most out of the run I would certainly suggest you went in the early morning or evening as the air is nice and fresh. This is something that will help you out a lot as it settles the body gradually. Many people do not like running and this is down to the fact that they are doing it in public and feel uncomfortable.
Cycling
Cycling is another major form of exercise and so many people are taking it up every single year. I believe that the number of people that use bikes will only increase as more people seem to be caring about the environment. The only problem is that once again it can be costly. Look around for the best Zipp Wheels and Cycling Shoes as well as looking for the best bike like a Trek Madone.
There are of course alternatives to these and some of them you may not think of first such as using Wii Fit on the Nintendo Wii. The best thing that I can suggest you do is just to go with what you feel comfortable doing.
