Each January, many people vow to give up drinking alcohol for a few weeks or an entire month because they believe this is the way to detoxify their livers after eleven months of imbibing. But, according to the good folks at a health advocacy group called the British Liver Trust, this idea is balderdash. In order to protect the liver from sustaining alcohol-related damage, the trust spokespersons say it is necessary to abstain from liquor for at least a few days a week, every week, as opposed to trying to accomplish something worthwhile with just one month of teetotalling.
The myth of the January detox echoes the way so many people approach the subject of exercise and fitness. After making New Year’s resolutions to lose weight and get into shape, tens of thousands of people join gyms or purchase new exercise equipment each January, pledging to live a healthier lifestyle. But, just like those who stop drinking for a month only to start indulging again in February, more than half of those who swear to start new exercise routines throw themselves enthusiastically into the task for the first few weeks in the new year, only to return to their slothful ways soon after.
Those who have decided to start exercising to get into better shape need to try a different approach. Instead of signing up for expensive gym memberships, or buying home equipment that will hardly ever be used, what people really need to do is campaign for outdoor fitness gyms outfitted with high-grade, top-of-the-line outdoor exercise equipment to be installed in their neighbourhoods. The reason this is a better solution is because working out in an outdoor gym equipped with well-designed and sturdy outdoor exercise equipment allows people to get out in the fresh air on a regular basis, which is an experience that can be highly addictive. Outdoor gyms also tend to become social gathering spots, encouraging people from the local area to gravitate to them to use their outdoor fitness equipment while sharing a few laughs and pleasantries with friends and neighbours. Exercise is always more sustainable when it is fun, and outdoor fitness gyms make things more fun for everyone.
To make it perfect, neighbourhood groups and associations planning to put in outdoor gyms should ask the fitness experts from Caloo to install one or more of the company’s brilliantly conceived and constructed outdoor exercise equipment fitness bundles as foundation pieces for those gyms. Caloo’s bundles of outdoor exercise equipment are customised for cardiovascular fitness, strength training or a total body workout, and Caloo’s park gym equipment is so colourful, durable and enjoyable to use that any outdoor gym that features it will become a popular destination for neighbourhood residents.
This is no myth: Practice regular exercise for a few days a week, every week, on the outstanding outdoor exercise equipment sold by Caloo and watch your fitness levels, stamina and overall health improve.
