Exercises for Positive Self-Image

Exercise is a great way to develop a positive self-image. Weight training is an excellent example of an exercise to help your body look and feel good by developing more muscle, especially lean muscle, and decreasing fat. With weight lifting, you will have to set goals. You will need to determine whether you want to increase the size of your muscle or create lean muscle. To increase muscle size, train with heavier weights, and complete 8 to 10 repetitions. To develop lean muscle, train with a little lighter weight and complete 12 to 15 repetitions.

Another great way to increase your self-image is to perform cardiovascular exercises. These are the exercises that help you burn fat and look lean. Some examples of cardio exercise include step aerobics, running, jogging, or playing basketball. These exercises get your heart rate pumping.

If you create a program consisting of weight training and cardio exercises at least five days a week, you will look and feel great in no time. Remember to always have a rest day; your body will need time to recover from hard workouts.

Help Motivate

Even if you have a great self-image, not everyone is an expert when it comes to physical fitness. In fact, many people struggle when doing physical activities. In cases like this, try to be encouraging and motivating. You can even offer to help or become a work-out partner. Always remember to have fun and be respectful.

Cultural Diversity and Appropriate Behaviors in Fitness Settings

Having a variety of cultural or ethnic groups within a society is what exemplifies cultural diversity. Because you will do physical activities in numerous places, you will inevitably have interactions with different types of people. Therefore, it is important to understand cultural diversity for personal health and fitness. During your physical activities, you have the opportunity to provide social support to different people. The overall goal is for everyone to be in a comfortable environment where they can participate in physical activity.
