================== ARTICLE START ==================

You have probably worked long hours and many years to get where

you are professionally. It took hard work and real dedication to

achieve the success you enjoy now. Reaching professional goals

is something to be proud of, but few stop to consider the

physical tradeoffs this success often requires.

Few people stop during their climb up the corporate ladder to

consider what their daily lifestyle may be doing to their

health. Often, achieving success means spending day after day

at a desk or standing behind a counter. Americans don't get

nearly enough exercise, and with that comes health risks. Those

risks include osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and

a number of other related health problems.

It is critically important to get proper exercise on a regular

basis. Without it, you will almost certainly have pains and

mobility problems down the road. But the right exercise regimen

not only can decrease the risk of serious health issues, it can

also help you achieve even greater goals, both personally and

professionally.

Many don't realize that half-hearted trips to the gym several

times a week simply won't cut it when you're trying to improve

long-term health. A lot of people who work out regularly may

not be getting the kind of exercise that prevents health

problems and allows them to enjoy a full, active life.

The problem with most workouts is they focus on strengthening

specific muscles or areas of the body and are very time

consuming. That's great if you're a bodybuilder, but that's not

how our bodies normally work. While this offers physical

improvement in the form of tighter muscles and reduced fat, it

fails to provide the bending, twisting and abrupt stops that

are important to a truly effective exercise routine. These

kinds of motions are common in everyday life, like bending over

to pick up your keys. Failing to work them into an exercise

routine means the body will never be trained for common

movements, which naturally grow more difficult for us as our

bodies age.

So, while thousands of individuals make monthly payments on

expensive exercise equipment and gym memberships that promises

to make them look better, they are neglecting the type of

movement that extends health benefits down the line.

In the U.S., people 35 to 54 years old account for more than

one million sports-related injuries each year. While that

number sounds imposing, it is completely within our power to

change the statistic. So how can we lessen our own risks?

The solution is to combine exercise with common movements. Use

exercises that approximate the kind of speed and movement you

use in sports or other active tasks. Movements like lunges,

squats and jumps all build muscle, improve balance and when

performed quickly and repetitively, can provide an effective

cardiovascular challenge.

The best part about this effective workout is that it doesn't

require expensive equipment or a lot of time to pull it off.

Getting back to basics with exercise balls, medicine balls and

resistance bands is all you need to help prevent injury, as

well as tone and shape your body into a stronger, healthier

physique.
