Even Winnie The Pooh knows the value of exercise: “A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.” That is why, I, David W. Fish, a California-based fitness instructor, make sure that my clients stick to their exercise program. If the bear can do it, so can my clients.

Many have been written about how exercising can do wonders for your health. What bogs down many people when exercising is a rigorous routine. Most especially if it entails waking up early for a 3-mile run or hitting the gym six times a week. It is just so much easier to lie down on the couch and munch your way to a heart attack.

That’s why David W. Fish, fitness coach, is here to guide you. Below are some tips you can embrace to get into shape:

1. Working out with the family. This is like hitting two birds with one stone. You get to spend more time with the family and exercise! Play basketball or hike up the hills together. You’ll be getting closer to each other as you shape up.
   
   
2. Making exercise more enjoyable. This means embracing a regimen that is doable and fun. For example, a brisk 30-minute walk while enjoying the sunset will burn 1,500 calories per week – that’s 78,000 calories per year.
   
   
3. Investing in a jump rope. It is a great workout you can do anytime, anywhere. Set a goal of skipping rope for 10 minutes per day and watch those love handles melt away.

Getting in shape is hard work. But the best reward is a better version of you.

David Wayne Fish: Observing proper etiquette in the gym

Hi, everyone! David Wayne Fish here to give you some guidelines when it comes to working out. This time, I will discuss just how important etiquette is inside the gym.

Even at a gym—a place where tank tops, excessive sweating, and mild grunting are considered acceptable—rules of etiquette must and should be followed. Yes, it may be different than, say, a luxury restaurant where almost everyone is quiet, but a gym is still a public place. It is an establishment where people interact with other people, a place where individuals should remember to act as civilized members of the society. With this, I give you the “David Wayne Fish list of the most annoying gym habits:”

• In my opinion, leaving workout equipment full of sweat is one of the most irritating gym habits ever. Picking up slippery weights or lying down in a stranger’s pool of sweat can easily destroy not only the gym-goers’ appetite for working out but also their entire day. For this reason, I advise people to at least carry a towel with them every time they work out, ready to wipe the sweat that comes rolling down their foreheads. If they don’t have any towels, they can use their sweatshirt or the paper towels provided by the health club.

• Another frustrating thing that I see almost every week is people forgetting to unload their weight bars, overlooking the fact that not everyone can lift the same amount of weight they can. People shouldn’t assume that the next person who will use the weight bars has the strength and capability needed to remove the weight plates. By removing the plates and putting them back in their specific containers after use, gym-goers can stop giving other people a hard time.

Whenever you go to a gym, remember that you do not own the place. You share the establishment with people who are just like you—individuals who want to stay fit and to lead healthy lifestyles.
