Want to Stay Fit? Effective Tips You Need to Follow

April 20, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Staying fit has become easier and more accessible than ever, thanks to so many health awareness platforms now being available to us. From fitness-conscious watches to calorie counting phone applications, staying fit isn’t hard at all; follow the easy tips below and see great results within a few weeks!

Understanding fitness

Tip number 1 towards a more fitter lifestyle is to understand that fitness is not just about looking a certain way. A fit lifestyle is one that incorporates your body type, boosts your mental well being and physical needs, not that of athletes and celebrities often promoted on social media and magazines.

Start off with some self-love, meditate every day for at least 10 minutes, breathing in and breathing out and focus on all the things you love about your body.​ Create a space in your home just for you where you can unwind and mediate, stretch, relax and making your brain “fit.”

Evaluate & make choices

Eating out? Always pick foods that are rich in omega 3 fats, fiber and protein. Going grocery shopping? Park far away from the store so you can get in a quick walk. Climb the stairs instead of using the elevator. Walk to nearby stores or the park instead of driving. Volunteer in your local community to do trash pick up at the park or offer free dog walking to seniors. Not only does this allow for a fitter body but also a more at peace mind.

Don’t forget to take breaks!

The third tip is to have tiny workout breaks through out the day. Nothing too intense but enough to refresh your muscles and get them working. Learn a few stretches that you can do at your work desk or keep a yoga mat under your desk and take a 10 minute break to catch a quick online yoga class. Grab some weights and do a 5 minute arm workout. Allowing yourself these 10 to 5 minute workouts will make staying fit much easier than if you were to follow a strict gym routine.

What you eat is important

​

Tip number 4 which can make or break your fitness regime is food. You are what you eat. Stock your fridge with healthy foods like leafy greens, nuts, fruits and meats. Learn to cook quick, healthy meals that you can take to work and grab on the go like a nutty granola mix, 3 fruit smoothies or even just chopped carrots and radishes.

Consider fasting

Tip number 5, fast some days of the month. Mark some days in your calendar when you can fast. Intermittent fasting for 16 to 18 hours while continuing to stay hydrated with water or tea, allows the body time to heal and helps in clearing up bloating. Fasting burns calories, uses up stored fats and allows the guts good bacteria to thrive.

Calories!

Tip number 6, understand your calorie intake. This makes burning these calories through appropriate exercise faster. Knowing how much fat to carbohydrate ratio something has allows you to understand what happens​ when that food goes into your body and how much exercise you need to burn those calories. Knowing that a large burger is all of your days calories and then some, might help you make better food choices, so know your calories.

Adopt a creative approach

Tip number 7, be creative. Find a dance class you will enjoy or ring up a close friend and join an intense cycling class or go cross country cycling. Adding a friend or partner to your exercise routines, or joining a workout group can definitely be highly motivating. Remember to boost each others energy levels and bring each other up when anyone falls behind.

Be sure to grab the right women preworkout supplement before sweating it out though, keeping the right balance of minerals, salts and protein in the body is vital to gain benefit from more intense workouts.

Measure progress

Tip number 8, figure out a way to measure your progress. A sense of accomplishment goes a long way in helping you persevere and in fueling the desire for the next workout. Progress does not mean only weight loss or going down dress or pant sizes, but more about how you feel. If your diet, self-love and exercise are working you should have more energy, better sleep and more stamina.

Routine check-ups

Tip number 9, go visit your doctor; stay updated on your annual exam and other check-ups that may be due. Get your bloodwork done, find out what are some good vitamins, minerals you can take to stay on top of your health and get examined once a year even if nothing is bothering you.

Lastly, keep things interesting, switch around your workouts, alternate between swimming, light jogging, morning runs, yoga classes and at-home workouts. Find interesting, low calories foods to eat, being fit does not have to be boring.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
