Continue to Educate Yourself

I think that this tip goes along with everything in life.  You have to keep educating yourself.  If you ever get to the point where you think you know everything about something, you’re going to fall behind really really fast.  Especially in today’s world with information flying around the globe as quickly as it does.

So what are some good ways that you can keep up to date and keep learning the best ways to exercise and stay fit?  Well, let’s say for example that you’re a woman and looking to keep up on women’s arm exercises.  You could check out some blogs and subscribe to them, read books on the topic as they come out, or join a natural bodybuilding forum to learn the new tricks and techniques.  Another great medium that has come out with the advent of YouTube are exercise videos.

I guess my point here is not to give you an all inclusive list of places to go to find information, but make sure you’re doing your best to stay up on what’s going on in the fitness world.  But also make sure you have a grounded foundation in the basics.  Yes, new fan dangled contraptions and workouts come out all the time, but a lot of times they’re no better than the tried and true.  That’s another reason to stay educated: it keeps you from being duped!

    There is a reason why I have subscribed to this blog. Pretty much because I am participating in sports on at my highschool. I need to stay informed to keep ahead of my friends. It would be nice to get some excersizes specific for spring sports. If not football, or wrestling. Thanks :)

    I’ll agree that following latest news in any are is vital and so is learning from experience of others but I always thought it’s good to give something in return i.e. share your experience or your blogs and forums you use so everyone can benefit from it or maybe, if they disagree some can point you out in different direction.

    I completely agree with you, the one who stops learning is the one who is left behind. As time moves along, new information is always discovered and it is best to stay on top of it, especially when the area of discussion is fitness.

    I completely agree. You must always learn new things.

    I agree that you must keep on learning and educating yourself about health and fitness. The web does have lot’s of information about fitness and joining forums is a great way of sharing your information and reading and learning from others.

    Hey Dan,

    Even better or equally as important to subscribing to blogs, is creating a blog. For example, creating a blog about your recorded fitness progress, regime/routine, practices and general health. As you learn from others you can record your own learning and real life experience.

    1) This will help reinforce what you have learnt.
    2) Give you an overal picture on your progress.
    3) Help others learn and see whats achievable.

    Thanks,

    Sarah.

    Learning only ends as soon as living does.

    Yewp. I find this blog has lots of info and this made me bookmark it =) But it’s true. Lots of people ask questions in the forums but all questions are just easily answered through google. Google is your best friend =D

    Things are always changing that’s why it’s so important to KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES!

    Good message here. You can always learn something! I never thought to try YouTube, though, but that’s a great idea.

    I like that you mentioned to not look for a “perfect” list, because there is no such thing. What works for some won’t always work for others. I agree that the best thing you can do is check out multiple sources and always keep checking in on the latest things. There is always something you could learn or be reminded of.

    that’s a great idea thanks

    I really like the exercise videos that you can access. Reading a description on how to the exercise can be difficult to follow. I always look for a video or a least some photographs to follow.
