Meditation is not a mysterious, exotic practice that s foreign to the western hemisphere. Most of us participate in various forms of it naturally, we just may not consciously be aware that s what we re doing. It s natural to resist letting yourself meditate. Just tell yourself it s okay, even if you feel a little strange at first. The results are worth it.
Some exercise is better than none at all, but too much can be just as harmful.
Start by visiting with a certified fitness professional. A good professional will be able to teach you what you need to know about specific exercises and techniques as well as diet and mental conditioning. Get input about your current program and find out your options for making it work even better. If you re not exercising at all, start out slowly. Your workout should be challenging, but fairly easy to accomplish.
