Fitness Guide

The most important part of your fitness plan is an approach that you can sustain. Love cardio? Cool, but it’s not the only way to get in shape again. Let’s dial in your plan.

Fitness plays a very important role in your happiness. Not only does it do wonders for your body, but it also empowers the mind, increases your self-esteem and confidence levels. It helps you concentrate and sleep better. There are many advantages to keeping fit. It slows down the aging process, keeps your body looking fabulous and most importantly, keeps you young at heart.

It’s understandable that you won’t always have time to hit the gym or go running. Here are a few tips that you can try in your journey to fitness. These workouts can be done anytime, anywhere. So no excuses!

HIIT

HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. These are a few high intensity exercises like squats, pushups, jumping jacks and lunges, done one after the other with a limited rest period between each exercise. For example, you could do squats for 50 seconds, rest for 10, and then move on to do pushups for 50 seconds and so on. The objective of this is to keep your heart rate up which in turn leads to a boost in metabolism. HIIT burns a lot of calories and helps in building your strength.

Walking

Walking is a great exercise that works all your muscles simultaneously. It is a great way to start your fitness journey. There are simple ways in which you could increase your total step count. When taking the bus, you could get off before your stop and walk the rest of the way home. If you have a choice between stairs or an elevator, pick the stairs.

Hydrate

Drink lots of water. Staying well hydrated does wonders for your body. It gives your skin a natural glow, eliminates unnecessary cravings for food and decreases chances for chronic back pain.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][thb_postcategory style=”style3″ title_style=”style5″ cat=”69″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1521516092674{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_text_separator title=”” color=”turquoise” border_width=”6″][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

Nutrition Guide

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]80% of how we look is determined by what we put in our mouth. It doesn’t matter how much cardio or exercise you do if you’re not fueling your body for success.

If you exercise five times a week but don’t change your unhealthy eating habits, you’re not losing any weight. Keep a balanced diet that includes greens, proteins and healthy fats.

• Don’t starve yourself.

Starving yourself will only produce negative results. Just like a car needs fuel to run, your body needs food to do work. When you starve yourself, you are confusing your body into thinking that it won’t be getting food for a while. So the next time you eat, your body will store your meal as fat, making it harder to lose weight. Instead of starving yourself, keep a balanced diet.

• Eat before working out.

If you don’t want to eat a heavy meal, drink a protein shake. When you work out with an empty stomach, your body burns muscle mass instead of fat.

• Balance Your Diet

Dieting doesn’t mean that you have to eat an egg in the morning and two almonds for lunch. It means that you have to cut out your portion of processed carbohydrates and junk food and focus on having a meal based on protein and other nutrients that are found in greens.

• Be Patient

Results take time. There is no such thing as an overnight transformation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][thb_postcategory style=”style3″ title_style=”style5″ cat=”35″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_text_separator title=”” color=”turquoise” border_width=”5″][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

Mindset Guide

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If energy flows where the mind goes, then it’s true that nothing can be accomplished if your mind isn’t on point. It too is a muscle that needs to be strengthened.

Your mind needs just as much care as your body. Just like you take care of your body by working out, give your mind a work out by finding at least ten minutes per day to meditate. A healthy mindset is the beginning of a healthy lifestyle. Meditation relieves stress, helps you sleep and improves your concentration. Set time aside to grow your mind.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][thb_postcategory style=”style3″ title_style=”style5″ cat=”65″][/vc_column][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
