Easy fitness
I was reading this artical that really makes so much sense and thought it was very good. it is
by Leo Babauta on The Simple Fitness Rules.
Health and fitness are usually made to seem too complex.
If you read a lot of fitness magazines and blogs (as I often do), you’re told a confusing variety of complex advice. It makes your head spin.
You’re told that eggs, butter and meat are bad for you. Then another crowd will tell you those same things are actually good. Then you’ll hear running is good for you, and the bodybuilding and primal crowds will scoff at longer-distance running. You’ll hear that lifting weights is the best way to get into shape, and others will laugh at that. You’ll hear a million variations of the best workouts, of when to time your nutrition, of how to periodize your workouts, of how to measure fitness, of what supplements you need to take … ad naseum.
It’s enough to make you want to give up.
Fortunately, fitness doesn’t have to be that complex. In fact, you can boil it down to two simple rules: Get your body moving on a regular basis; and
Eat a moderate amount of real, whole foods (with occasional indulgences).
I believe if you stuck to those two rules, and stuck with them for awhile, you’d get fit. Doing one but not the other will result in an improvement in health for many people (not all), but it would be an incomplete health. Do both most days of the week and you’re on your way to health and fitness.
God Bless!

You are so right about the conflicting information. It is confusing.
I used to exercise regularly but I kind of got out of the habit. I really need to get back into it again!
