5 x Fitness and health  tips
1. Exercise Daily
Exercise daily for at least 30-45min.You do not have to kill yourself from running, jogging, etc., but you should have some sort of moderate physical activity in your everyday life.
If you're looking to shed a few pounds fast, do a higher-level intensity workout.
For example, go on a walk at a brisk pace for an hour. Or, you can jog and set certain intervals to sprint during that hour. Make sure you're not in severe pain during your workout.
Just a warning, your muscles will ache after a good high intensity workout. It may be irritating, but that means your body is changing for the better.
Be sure to stay hydrated, Warm up stretch afterwards, and eat foods with a decent amount of protein after each workout.
The protein will help feed your muscles and help them recover.
2. Eat the Right Foods and Portion Each Meal
No matter how bad your stomach is telling you to go for haribos or other sweetie treats over healthy food, try to stay away from sweets. Sugar from candy will not help you get in shape. Even if it's just a single candy bar, "one always leads to another or is that just me"
Fruits and vegetables are the best thing to eat when getting into shape. Apples, for example, do a good job at making the stomach feel full for up to 3 to 4 hours. Green vegetables such as green beans and broccoli keep the digestive system clean and running.
Also, try and stick to lean meats like turkey and chicken. Seafood, such as, shrimp, and tilapia are also great alternatives. These foods are full of protein and healthy nutrients to help keep muscles fit and ready for workouts. In addition, be sure to portion what you eat.
OHaving a good metabolism comes from portioning meals. Try to plan out eating six times a day and setting smaller portions, rather than having three large meals throughout the day. This will also help you find yourself breathing smoother when working out rather than huffing and puffing for air.
This is because you will have less food in your digestive system, which means more of your bodies energy is used towards your exercise.
3. Keep Track of Calories and Food Intake Per Day
Keeping track of how many calories you eat in a day will be helpful in planning out your exercise.
Ever wonder why body builders' body masses are so big? That's because they plan out their meals and take in more (healthy) calories than the average person. On the other hand, losing weight and striving for a skinnier physique will involve more physical exercise than calories you ingest.
4. Be Sure to Get Sleep
Even though most of us have eight-hour jobs during the day or night, it is crucial to get enough sleep to recharge the body's batteries. Six to eight hours of sleep will keep the body going throughout the day, but if you happen to feel tired at any point after coming home from work, by all means take a small nap before exercising. You should only nap for about a half hour. This will prevent you from staying up later in the night.
5. Stay Motivated
An important key to being in shape is to set goals and keeping a positive mindset. If you stay positive, you will be able to push yourself to get to the goals you have set if you would like more guidance on goal setting please comment "YES" below and i will gladly help
