Playing To Get Fit

There are a lot of pay-as-you-go gyms in Berlin such as Fit Sport Studios so there’s really no excuse not to get yourself into an active, healthy lifestyle. Some choose sports over going to the gym but think about it, whatever it is, taking the first step is truly the hardest one and as Woody Allen would say, “80 percent of success is showing up.” You should also prepare yourself mentally before engaging in any form of exercise or sport, but always remember that it’s really not as bad as you think. So here are some steps how to get yourself into the groove and incorporate exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle and hopefully yours too. The next time you’re in Berlin, you can also check out hotels that also offer sports and wellness activities and services such as the Aspria.

Getting into the game of exercising and being involved in a sport truly is a virtue. Like playing poker, you need discipline, focus and training. You can improve your game by downloading the newest android app from de.partypoker.com. You can practice your gaming strategies and skills with the easy to use game interface with just a swipe of a finger. You can also watch online video tutorials and get some pointers from Germany’s top poker player Pius Heinz in the World Series of Poker. You can now play poker anytime anywhere without the hassle of dressing up and going to a real casino. But if you’re looking for the thrill of live poker, you can join the tables at Spielbank Casino in Berlin. With these tips, you’re on your way to master the game of poker that you can also apply when getting motivated to exercise. The first step would be not to get ahead of yourself. Try doing a ten minute then 20 minute and so on of exercise so that your body can adjust to your routine. You can also prepare a playlist and listen to your favorite songs on your iPod as you work out. Getting some sun and going outdoors can do wonders for your health and soul, even if it’s just jogging around your block or taking a stroll at the park. There’s also Grosser Tiergarten Park in Berlin where you can do a 5 km run without the hills or slopes, which is ideal for amateurs.

Most importantly, when you pick a sport or activity make sure you’re really into it. It can be anything from swimming, tennis, pilates, yoga or some extreme sport, but it really helps if you’re passionate about what you’re doing. If you don’t like going outdoors, you can try a gym membership or invest in some workout DVDs. But if you don’t want to spend on anything, running or jogging may be the best option for you. You can also visit the wonderful parks in Berlin such as the Schloss Charlottenburg, Volkspark Schoneberg and Viktoriapark in Kreuzberg that doesn’t only offer beautiful scenery but also great routes where you can run or jog.
